Oh Happy Day!

Last night, I did something that I haven't done in what feels like a very long time: I woke up in the middle of the night to pee. I haven't done this in a very long time becuase I am usually awake in the middle of the night for other reasons now, like diaper changing and feediing and soothing, so peeing is really the least of my worries.

When I got back into bed I looked at the clock and noticed that it was almost 6AM. Milo had been asleep since 7PM the night before. He'd slept through the night. I had to restrain myself from waking Steven up to tell him the news.

I, of course, was so excited that I was unable to fall back to sleep. Milo woke up a few minutes later, ate a little bit, and then went back to sleep until 9AM. I never thought I would see the day. I actually feel like a human being. And the weirdest part? I actually feel proud of my son. I want to run through Propect Park screaming the news: my boy can sleep!

And Milo, you know that I was joking about making you read What To Expect The First Year, don't you? Even so, I love the fact that you managed to sleep through the night on this, your four month birthday. Sort of like how you arrived on your due date. You continue to be prompt, and we love you for it.
