Sleep's coming back

For the past week we've had Callum sleeping in his cot, and over the week we're managing to get more and more sleep. As long as I don't sabotage myself and stay up late blogging, working or playing poker online, then everyone in the household is managing to get a good night's sleep again. It's good because we've finally got the marital bed back to the marital couple, Callum is ok with sleeping in his cot now, often until 5-6:00 am rather than 3:00am, and we aren't fighting for the sheets and doona. Bliss.

The weekends always seem to be a bit of a time to catch up on sleep as well. If you haven't got anything planned, then you can always get a quick kip in. We had a hectic morning this morning, with soccer, shopping and a school fete. We also all went out later than normal last night for a bout of evening shopping (or whatever you can call it when only K-Mart, Target and Bi-Lo are open!) By mid afternoon we were all starting to run out of puff.

Funnily enough, only Callum and I managed to get in a refresher kip. Anth had to prepare for an evening movie night with friends, Ethan wanted to watch TV, and Aidan went off to his room. That left Callum and I to get acquainted with our good friend Mr Sleep on the couch! We got in a good hour before we woke up. The older kids were nice and settled, and I got to give Callum a bottle which has now settled him down for the night. Aidan drifted off without incident, and Ethan's watching Spy Kids. I love it when a plan comes together!

Ciao for Now, Well Rested Angry Dad.
