Finally!

For the past week, Nathaniel had not been sleeping well. It started with waking up at 4 a.m. or so, instead of his usual 6 a.m.

Then there were the ear infection days, during which he was waking up every 90 minutes or so ... and then took 30 minutes to fall back asleep, if you could calm him down.

On Sunday and Monday night, neither Amanda or I slept for much more than 90 minutes straight. Finally on \Tuesday night, we got an amazing four hours of sleep in a single stretch.

Then came last night (Wednesday night). He slept through the night! Oh, man, that's a great thing. I just hope it continues.

In other news ...

Also, Nathaniel had a graduation of sorts Wednesday. He got moved "to the other side of the fence" at day care. Children 18 months and younger are in one area of the day care Nathaniel attends, but they further seperate those who move around a lot, stand up, etc., from those who tend to stay in one place.

As of Wednesday, Nathaniel was so active they had to move him to the mover area. He uses anything to stand up, apparently ... including walkers that other kids are using. Rather than risk toppling a younger/smaller child, they're moving him over.

(Both sides of "the fence" (a clear, plastic divider, really) have plently of caregivers on hand.)
