Time differences
Welcome back, bad old days.
This time two weeks ago, Glorymouse slept through the night* and then slept like a normal human being**, two nights in a row. Rob and I looked at each other, full of joy and wonder. Was this it? Had she finally got it? Could we start going to bed at 10pm again?***
Guess what? No, No and No! After experiencing the joys of 10 hours uninterrupted shut-eye G thought, where's the fun in that? So for the past week she's been waking up 3 times a night, needing an hour or two of holding / soothing / leaving to scream before she goes down again.
In fact I left her to scream so much last night she was hoarse this morning. Are you reading this, Gina Ford?
Still, her little round face and rosy cheeks and special way of smearing banana into the furniture... when morning comes around she melts me every time. (Especially after a strong cup of tea.)
Glory would also like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for wishing her a happy birthday.
* 7.30-5am
**7.30-6.45am
*** beyond 9.30 has hitherto been considered 'too late'. Rock 'n' roll!

Oh my dear, how I sympathise. I am in bed as early as possible every night. It is hell, it will pass.
Yes i too like to try and at least head to bed about 10!

snap! Seth's getting 4 top teeth and so likes to wake every few hours to howl-despite calpol, bonjela, dummies and the heatingon fullblast. Nothing can take that boy down.
My full sympathy sister
Oh aren't they just the cutest? Faye's doing exactly the same... Leave her to settle herself? Fat chance. Try Medised instead of Calpol - has a sedative in it!!! cxx
The empathy of your friends with kids is touching, but I cannot be part of this chain of solidarity, being what is unattractively known as a DINKY (Dual Income No Kids Yet). So I go to bed after midnight, and loll in bed till midday on the weekend. Just wanted you to be aware of the heterogeneity of your friends. And the fact that this kind of blog story works as a very effective birth control....
