Home >> sweet sleep!
March 28, 2008
It’s a magic miracle. I can hardly believe it when I wake up in the morning and I’m the only one awake! My inner clock has been trained by Nathan to wake up around 3am…I look at the clock and all is quiet and I go back to sleep! Nathan is sleeping through the night without all the screaming. He’s going to sleep at night and all I’m doing is reading a story or two, rocking him for a minute and laying him down in his crib while he’s still awake. He snuggles up on his favorite blanket, a soft faux suede-covered down comforter, and I put a very soft thin blanket on top of him, and whalah, he is self-soothing himself without a fuss….he even reaches for his crib as I go to lay him down!
Miika is sleeping too. She went through a few months lately of “claiming” to have a bad dream almost every night. But that seems to have passed for the moment. I’m sooooo happy that I make myself get up in the morning at about 5:45 so I can have that first cup of coffee all by myself in peace…maybe even do a little reading before the day hits the ground running, dragging me with it.
Now, I have to take a minute to congratulate a friend of mine for her cover story in Altered Couture! Way to go Carla Sonheim! A few moons ago we used to work together at CTi art directing magazines. I’m immensely proud of Carla for being so prolific and pushing forward with her dreams. Check out her website at carlasonheim.com And another thank you to Cheryl S. for telling me that I should get the magazine! It’s a thrifter’s dream publication. All the items in the magazine are “recycled” and transformed into something remarkable. It’ll make your head spin!
I’m SO happy for you Liita! There’s not much better than a good night’s sleep. Also, thanks for letting me know about Altered Couture — look super inspiring and creative! And, it was fun to see Carla’s blog. I used to be friends with her husband ions ago!
