So we're back to not going to bed. J's and my quixotic quest to watch all of Foyle's War on successive nights, or, for that matter, to get Isaac to bed before 11, is failing miserably. I know, I know, transitions. Back to school, new routine, and...kerflooey. Does it help that he wakes up in a fine old mood, can now count in Spanish (and, more than that, understands the correspondence between the numbers)? A little, except I'm kinda grumpy, I have to admit.
Last night just generally sucked. J spent an hour and a half, and I came in to close--took me another hour, including at least five renditions of increasingly croaky Edelweiss. This morning, total goofiness reigned. We all sat in bed together and watched YouTube videos on my laptop, while Isaac ate oatcakes (which for some blessed reason he thinks are a real treat) in bed. Crumbs aside, it was pretty great. So here, for your viewing pleasure, some stupid fun courtesy of the Potter Puppet Pals. And thanks to J's students for widening my cultural horizons.
ROFL! That was hysterical! I mean the video...um, er. Sorry about the no sleep thing. I bet this video was even funnier for the sleep deprived...Have you tried melatonin? The stuff seriously works! We give it to Nik from time to time. It actually not only helps him get to sleep but he sleeps through the night on the nights he has it! Woo hoo!

Oh, man, thanks for the laugh! That's some crazy puppetry! (If they think they need panflutes for their next performance, you know where to send 'em!)

Have you tried melatonin or clonidine? Works for us!
