Not Sleepy


My little guy has never been much of a sleeper. He didn't sleep through the night until he was two. Here's one of my favorite photo sessions from when he was about seven months old. He was supposed to be taking a nap, but would not go to sleep. He was so cute, I had to take pictures.
Now, he's almost four and still fights sleep every night. It's not a mean fight, it's pretty entertaining most nights actually.Last night, as most nights, he got really chatty when I turned the lights out. Here's just some of our conversation
"Mommie?"
"Yes?"
"Mommie, I like valentines, they are so pretty."
"Me too sweetie, now go to sleep."
"Mommie, I like you hair. It's so soft."
Then he says the thing every mommie wants to hear...
"Mommie, you're the bestest mommie ever, you know?"
How does a three (almost four) year old come up with that?
All to fight sleep.

    I can so relate to this posting! My almost four year old was 18 months old before he slept through the night and still fights it. We have similar dialogue to yours each night and it amazes me how he can come up with some emergency that wasn't important 20 minutes ago but now is earth-shattering...all to avoid sleep.

    Glad to know I am not the only one :)

    I found your blog a few months ago and really enjoy reading...thanks for sharing.

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
