4:07 am

Yup. You read that correctly. Today, Eli woke up at 4:07 am!

I tried to keep him awake later last night - all the way until 7:00 pm! (He's been wanting to eat around 6:45...but I now realize this is not a good schedule.) Duh!?

He went right to sleep when I fed him dinner. I was hoping that would help him sleep later.

Apparently, I'm asking for the moon here!??? LOL! 7 pm to 5 am (his normal wakeup time) is 10 hours. Is that typical for a 2 1/2 year old to sleep at night? Is it already time to start getting less sleep? This is one active little Yahoo all day...doesn't he need this 10 hour down time?

4:07 - I get up to turn his pump off. Stupid me, I actually touch him to reposition him a little bit, so I can give him his water flush....and boing! He's awake and rockin' and rollin'.

I put him in bed with me....and he would not settle down. Then he pooped.

Ok, then.

4:29 - Out to the living room to change his diaper.

Of course, Lonnie usually gets up at 4 am to go work out. But this week, he has to have asthma and sinus issues going on....so he's not going to work out. Isn't that just perfect Murphy's Law? So, here I sit, tired as hell...sick of getting up when there is a 4 at the beginning of the clock readout! Lon will get up within the hour....and then I'll go back to bed for a litle bit....

I'm counting the minutes.....
