Because of illness in the past week, Grayson has gotten his sleep schedule all out of sorts. He will go down to sleep around 8 and then wake up between 10:30 and 11 for a feeding. He then wakes up between 3 and 5 for another feeding and then sleeps until 7 or 8.
I have quickly begun to enjoy this routine. I love gathering his warm body against my chest. I love stroking his cheeks in the dim light. I love the way his little hand reaches up and touches my skin. I love the rhythmic butt patting that I have to do to get him to go to sleep. (why do babies love this?) I love to see his drowsy smiles as he drifts off to sleep. I love every bit of it.
All of those things make it worth it to have my sleep interrupted once again.
