Glorious sleep

[theatokos]

Today is the Dormition of the Theotokos (if you're Eastern Orthodox) or the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (if you're Roman Catholic). I celebrated today by a two hour nap this afternoon, after which I woke feeling achey, thirsty and accutely aware of how bad my cloth diapering "hobby" (new profession?) is getting: I dreamed of a store of artistic colorful beautiful diapers, but I forgot my wallet in my car, and then I couldn't find where I parked.

I want more sleep.

Please, oh Holy Mother, may little Bennett sleep soundly tonight. Six hours of deep sleep, with no muttering, crying out or flailing about in his sleep. Pretty please. Amen.

"Six hours of deep sleep, with no muttering, crying out or flailing about in his sleep."

Oy. We have a good night if we get a three.

We have been really spoiled of late, with 5-6 hour stretches. Now it's down to 4 but he's flailing about and muttering three times or so in that period. Not waking himself up, but waking us up. I know. I shouldn't complain. Some one always has it worse! ;)

The guy who cleaned our carpets yesterday said both his kids started sleeping through the night the week they came home. :-/

Ouch. I didn't sleep through the night until I was nearly two year old. Maybe the carpet guy's kids were tied down and had timed formula drips? Or a nanny? Or maybe they prayed nightly to the Virgin Mary... that's gotta be it.
