A dear friend of mine always gives me a pot of flowering forced bulbs around the time of my birthday (read: the worst month of the year... February) because she knows how much I, erm, dislike winter and long for spring.
I love flowers in February. They make me happy.

Update on the sleep battle:
This baby's mommy is a genius! GENUIS! Bwaa-haa-ha-haaaaa! BWA-HA-HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I discovered that I have a white noise machine already in my room. Okay, maybe it's not so genius, considering I didn't realize this a long time ago, but you know what they say-- sleep deprivation is the mother of invention.
That is what they say, isn't it?
Anyway. I have a white noise machine beside my bed in the form of an old digital alarm-clock-radio that I've had since I was about 10. Set the dial to some good static, et voila-- white noise, volume controlled. Hopefully it's not as hard on our electric bill as a fan.
I've only so far employed this tactic today, but so far so good (of course, now I'm ruining it by broadcasting it all over the intertubes...). His nap this morning was a good 1 1/2 hours, and now for his afternoon nap, he's been sleeping over an hour and a half and is still sleeping.
During lunch, Evan was playing contentedly on the floor and Nathan commented "He sure is a pleasant baby when he's slept well!"
Indeed, my dear. Indeed.

Awsome! I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteYay for white noise! :D Michael's machines have been white noise for Megan, Jody, and Gideon. Gideon still has it since they share a room now. :)
ReplyDeleteThankfully, Leah is not a light sleeper most of the time.
Hi! I'm visiting from Stone Cottage Diaries and want to thank you for your comment. That's exactly what I tried to say three times and failed. I was coming across as confrontational and didn't mean to so I deleted my comments. We raise these birds every year and they are delicious. You are so right, if you raise them correctly you will have few problems....so thanks for saying what I couldn't! ;0)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Goodwife! I actually found it difficult not to be confrontational as well... so I stuck to the facts. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Such a relief that I wasn't the only one. It can be so very hard to put your words into writing on a blog comment.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day and thanks for commenting on my blog as well!
