5AM

Nolan slept til 5am! I know what you are all thinking- "5am! That sounds horrible, you can't be excited about 5am!" Well, I am! I am excited because he went to bed at 730pm...that's 9.5 hours of sleep!!! Do you realize if Eric and I would have went to bed at 730, we would have gotten 9.5 hours of sleep too?! We didn't, of course, but we went to bed reasonably early; enough so that I feel like a new woman today! This is obviously not an everyday occurrence, he's been sleeping much longer at night and pretty much demanding to be put to bed much earlier in the evening; but in the last week he had his first little cold (which he promptly gave to me!) and kept waking himself up sneezing or coughing, I thought our longer sleep periods were over, but thankfully (and hopefully-fingers crossed) they are back forever!

I know this is the most interesting thing you have read all day!  I apologize but, this is my life now! This is what matters to me.... I hope my brain returns to being capable of taking care of sick children, but for now it's mush and that's all I have to offer my blog....again, I apologize.

Side note- I think it may be a bit of a stretch to run (and beat my previous time for) the half-marathon in April. I am finding, I can't do it all and training takes LOTS of time, lots of time away from Nolan. When he was younger, I could just take him in his car seat to the gym and run on the treadmill (not my favorite) and he would sleep. Now that he is more aware of everything, he doesn't sleep at the gym, he's wide awake looking at me wondering why his Momma is interacting more with a rat wheel than him. Thus I take back my very public goal....I still hope to run it or at the very least run/walk it, I just don't think my new record will be set. Maybe next year...
