Have you ever unexpectedly had an AMAZING night’s sleep? I sure did last night. I laid down with Little Man to get him to sleep, with plans to watch a video on how to find wild yeast (I have no yeast, and I want to make all of the breads). I don’t know who fell asleep first, him or me, but the next thing I know, he’s waking me up around 3 this morning, in need of some milk. Whoopsies!

I nursed him back to sleep, and again, the next thing I know, I’m waking up and the sun is peeking through the curtains. I rolled over to check my phone, and it was 6:15. Now, I fully could have pulled up my YouTube app, grabbed my notebook, and watched that video on wild yeast, but I instead just lay there, curled up next to Little Man, or should I say, Little Man nestled up into my side, and enjoyed the peaceful morning. When he woke up a little before 7, we lay in bed together, just giggling at everything, before heading downstairs.

I love the fact that he wakes up in the mornings all happy and ready to go. Waking up after naptime is a different story. I don’t know what it is, but he is just never a happy camper after his naps. It takes a while to get him ready and raring to go. It could be that he is still tired, and I just cannot settle him back down to sleep for longer, or it’s because he slept for more than three hours and is just overtired from so much sleep. Either way, we are still working to find a happy medium for his afternoon naps.

When was the last time you got a great night’s sleep?
