Riddle me this

Why is it that this gorgeous baby of mine will sleep (touch wood) like a dream in his cradle at night, but will not under any circumstances sleep anywhere except in my arms during the day? And why does he so resent my attention to the one pokey finger with which I’m trying to blog while the rest of me devotes itself to being a human cradle? So much to say, and no way to get it out there!

I miss you all… regular posting and reading and commenting will resume shortly.

  1. I know!

    When Spencer was a few months younger, I’d try to use the sling/mei tai to get more mobile during the day. This was usually wildly successful EXCEPT when I sat down at the computer. It’s like he could feel the radiant glow of the delicious internet and decided he was a Luddite. He would immediately wake up and/or howl even if I checked my email standing up!

    Darned kids!

    But, oh how I love to cuddle that sleeping little body. 🙂

  2. No advice for you. Mine spent her waking hours in her sling on my body (though we tried many other options).

    We’ll be here for you when Lucas let’s you have your fingers back!

  3. You post more than a lot of people I know with no kids!
    No worries-go easy on yourself.

  4. I suppose it’s like knowing when to wake up so that your mom doesn’t have to eat a meal without you. All babies know this and Lucas has evolved this knowledge to include blogging. Really, you should be proud ;+)
