Sometimes it seems like all Kate and I spend our days and nights doing is helping Ava go to sleep. We realize that this will not always be the case. Pretty soon Ava will be actively responding to our play sessions, begin the process of learning to speak and read…all that fun stuff. But right now the routine is pretty set. Sleep, poop, eat, poop, sleep, rinse and repeat (sprinkle in a few smiles here and there to make our heart melt, of course). She’s got to spend most of the time sleeping because she’s growing so fast, right? And you’d think she’d love to sleep. I mean, I would give anything to have somebody telling me I need to sleep most of the day. But no! Ava is too busy learning, and sleeping is the last on the list of interesting activities. So Kate and I will continue to spend a great deal of time rocking, swaying, patting, singing, hypnotizing her with toys, and turning on the vacuum cleaner (no joke!) to get her to sleep.
