Sleep Deprived

    This morning Connor woke up at about 4:30 and wouldn't go back to sleep. I wasn't ready to get up after waking up with him several times throughout the night, so I put him in his jumper to play while I slept a little longer. When I got up, this is what I saw:


I feel bad, but he wakes up and wants to play... and I am just not ready at 4am. Tonight I am going to start sleep training to try and get him to sleep longer and not rely on me or Aaron to rock him back to sleep. Let's hope it works!
     I took grandma to the airport earlier then we planned, but only because she was ready and knew I was tired... that seems to be the norm these days, but with Aaron in the field, I am like a single mom running on little sleep. Connor napped in the car on our way home, and woke up as soon as we got home. There went my nap! 
      Connor and I both ate breakfast and then played with his toys {and a laundry basket}.  We used to put the basket over his head and play the "Where's Connor?" game. Now he does it all on his own.
Look at that hair!
     Aaron came home for about an hour and was able to take a shower and eat a small lunch. The time went by really fast and before I knew it I had to take him back to work.
     Connor and I came straight home after dropping Aaron off and had an early lunch. I fed him a bottle and put him down for a nap. Well, while he was supposed to be taking his afternoon nap, he stood at the end of his crib and pulled some of his books from off the bookshelf. I guess he wanted to read...
 ...so that's what we did! Then he went to sleep, and so did I. He slept for 3 hours, and I slept for 2. That shows you how sleep deprived we both were!
    The rest of our day was spent playing at home and relaxing! I love when we don't have any plans, especially after a busy last few days.
