Invisible Alarm Clock

Our little boy has been waking up at 5:00a.m. for weeks now... Not getting enough sleep, but unable to fall back asleep assisted, unassisted, fed, changed, anything... he's just ready to go at 5:00 on the dot.

I decided there must be an alarm clock going off causing him to wake at this time, so this morning I set my own alarm for 4:45. I woke up and camped out in front of his door, video monitor in hand. At 5:00 exactly, he stirred, rolled around, and went back to sleep! I stayed there until 5:15 then went back to bed but kept watching the monitor. I just KNEW there had to be something that would happen and cause him to wake up. I know I made it til 5:30, when he stirred again, but at some point I drifted off to sleep and awoke then Ben did at 6:05.

Hooray for Ben "sleeping in" until 6:00! (We have been getting up at 5 for 5 weeks now.) But really? The day I wake up at 4:45 is the day you sleep in? Really, Ben? Sheesh! Here's hoping the sleeping in will happen again tomorrow and that I can enjoy it as well! :) For today, I am so happy our little boy will be feeling better rested and more energetic! Thank you, God, for helping him get one more hour of rest!

And... here's to wishing I was in Mexico instead of all this Snow!!
