Snow and Sleep

Today we are having our first snow of the season, which looks like it’ll be insignificant, but is sticking to the trees and grass in a most picturesque way.

Sadie was utterly fascinated at the window for a few minutes.

However, she’s far more fascinated with the diagrams of how things go together in my old Reader’s Digest Fix-It-Yourself Manual.  She sits examining those and running her fingers over them.  Well, until she moves on to shredding a Christmas sale flyer.  At least she understands the difference and shreds the correct one.

In other news, Valerie slept!!!!

The two of them went to bed the same time, a bit after 8:00 as I recall, in our new routine we were hoping would help.  Which Sadie is oddly mature enough to have grasped and gone along with, to the point of getting each of their dollies the first night, giving Valerie hers and showing they each had one, and making sure Val’s doll got into her bed.

Valerie only screamed for a moment before sleeping, or at least calming herself.  Then she slept until 6:00 AM, at which point she nursed and went right back to sleep until I found her quietly standing in the crib at 9:10.  And looking sleepy for a change in the morning, rather than wired and wide awake.

Yay for breakthroughs!  Let’s hope it lasts.  Boo for snow!  But hey, the sun’s already starting to come out, nobody will need a shovel, and it’s pretty until it all falls or melts off the trees.
