Shhh...baby sleeping


He's such a light sleeper.  Some people think you can make a heavy sleeper-"vacuum while the baby sleeps, make noise so they are used to it" is advice new parents are often told.  I'm here to tell all those people they are wrong.  If you have a heavy sleeper, it's because God decided to gift you.  We have 4 very active, very LOUD children, a dog that feels it her personal responsibility to announce every potential intruder (aka-mailman, neighbor dogs, people walking by) & a piano that becomes so enticing at nap time no one can resist banging out some notes in this house, if that's not noise then I don't know what is.  And still, he wakes at the slightest sneeze.
He is the master of power naps.  Ten minutes and he's good.  He seems to need very little sleep & may just be a morning person as well.  *shocker*  Seems that's how we make them around here.  Which is funny because neither parent is a true morning person.

I agree, you can't make a good sleeper! I have two and two. With the first two being EXCELLENT and the last two being in the crapper. Ha!
