Day 8: Dinosaur Monkey Sleeper Suit

I noticed that I could add a video and tried to find the perfect moment all day long of him doing something, but all he does all day is sleep and who wants to watch a video of someone sleeping? We had a surge in diaper usage today and set a new personal record of 11. He got a bath this evening and is all ready for bed. Last night was a great night for us and him. He woke up at 1am and I changed his diaper, he ate then went back to bed until 8am. I hope this pattern keeps up. Our other kids adjusted to sleeping through the night withing the first few weeks and I am hoping to add a third to the list.

Speaking of other kids; I love how giving our older kids "helper tasks" fills them with a sense of meaning and purpose. Brighton has been charged with "daily doo doo diaper duty" and on the first day on the job one of the diapers somehow missed the diaper pail. She had to pick the diaper up to throw it away. After that incident, she takes the diaper from us, sets it on the ground near the diaper pail, stands up, bends back down to pick up the diaper, then throws it in the can. I guess that is why it is important to learn how to do things the right way the first time, like when learning a new instrument. Not that I think tossing a diaper in the pail is anything like playing an instrument, but the metaphor is the best I could do at 11:27pm.
