What nights? Well, I say that because nights are for sleeping and we just don’t do that. Some people roll their eyes at us as thought we naive new parents don’t have a clue. While there are many things about which we indeed do not have a clue, what they don’t realize is that our sleepless nights are not normal. Jude doesn’t wake us up a few times and we all go to sleep and wake up a little bleary-eyed in the morning. On the contrary, Jude does some things in the night that are very disturbing and keep us awake often from 11pm until morning. So, for almost five months, we can only think of two or three nights in which we’ve slept for more than three or four hours.
Those couple of nights we were able to sleep were because Jude stayed overnight with Grandpa and Grandma Bowen. They have an enormous bathtub and deer in the yard every night, and Jude loves both – and Bah-pa and A-ma, of course! No, that’s not a typing error – he calls her A-ma, and sometimes Maaa-ma.
