Whine whine whine...Gannon is waking up earlier and earlier every day. He was up this morning at 5:45. :( And it just ain't happening on my end. I have never ever been a morning person. Every paper I wrote in school, every test I crammed for, was all during an all-nighter, and I would always be fine. I usually start cleaning the house around 8 o'clock at night. And I have been known to sleep as late as 11 or 12. :'(
Now, to be completely honest, and you can all think of me what you want because I am too tired to care, I usually bring him into bed with us. Not for the benefits of co-sleeping, though that acts as a good guise, but because I am LAZY and don't want to go up and down the hallway all during the wee hours. Insert embarrassed/sheepish face here. Actually, this whole night nurse thread has me very intrigued.
Anyway, when he awakes in the morning I try stuffing my boob at him to get him back to sleep, but it's not cutting it anymore. He is up and VERY shrill. So Shawn and I made a deal. We switch off each day who wakes up with him so that his ideal "learning" time is not stifled. Well, you can guess where papa bear is right now. And I know I shouldn't really complain, because three months ago he let me sleep as late as I want, but wasn't sleeping at all during the day and going to bed late at night. So I guess this is the trade-off.
One more thing...We have a roomie, and he is a night owl as well. It is getting increasingly difficult to be quiet in the mornings, and I feel just awful, because I try to respect his space and quiet time as much as possible. If he wasn't here, I could go about my chores and holler at Shawn to come on down and make me breakfast, but I am limited in my activities. (No real housecleaning...Wouldn't mind getting that on a different schedule.) Okay, that is all for now. Thanks for letting me grouse. Off to brave the peaches once more! :D
