this is how we do it.

henry is delirous from lack of sleep. see?

this baby is so complicated to me. i don't get it. what about the phrase sleep like a baby? i mean, i know some babies hard to put down to sleep, but COME ON! this is insanity.

i feel bad for him. he clearly doesn't get this whole sleep phenomenon. i think we have some success, and then we regress. so i think maybe he wears himself out so bad that he finally collapses and then gathers up a bunch more energy to fight off the sleep all the next day. he's in the swing now, looking at me like "this is the life mom. i'll just sit here and stare at you lovingly." but he has these huge bags under his eyes (which are red red red.)

oh. i hear my toddler stirring. here comes chaos, y'all.

another photo. this one of a beautiful sam moment. i didn't capture it well, but he spent a good 30 minutes at his lego table this morning quietly constructing. moving pieces here and there. tongue out in concentration. he built a house for bob the builder. he was appalled to have run out of legos before building a roof, but he was quite proud. and so was i. here he is hard at work. in my opinion, when it comes to kids, the process is so much more fulfilling than the product.



perhaps i should go read that last sentence again when i need strength for henry's next nap.
