'Sleeper'


Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Three months, Amy. We're trying to get her on a more regular nap/sleep schedule lately -- supposedly between two and four months is the best time to do that -- but it's hard!

Yeah. Child sleep isn't some wonderful linear path to easiness. There are many lapses and difficulties.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

It definitely gets easier, though.

It's got to, right? Good thing she's so stinkin' cute when she's not screaming her head off.

It's nature's way to get parents to open a college savings plan.

Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies.

Though it must be said that both of my kids, Emmett in particular, were extraordinarily poor sleepers.

Because books.

It's got to, right?

It absolutely can. I had three kids, and they all fell into a schedule more or less easily by six months. But I was always really firm about them sleeping in their cribs and learning to fall asleep by themselves around eight or nine months. (And I say that because I figure with three I had more chance of having one bad sleeper, but who knows.)

Heh.

OK, she's asleep, and I'm off to bed too, no doubt to dream of my daughter at age 23 still pitching a fit at bedtime every night.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

As a teenager, she will switch to pitching a fit when she has to wake up.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Kate, I hope you sleep well.
