Irony of Ironies

It would figure that the same week I start a blog called "Sleepiest Dad Ever," my daughter would finally start sleeping properly.

We moved into our current house nearly two years ago, in June of 2008. At that time Isabel was sleeping soundly all night, in a bassinet in our bedroom, and just shy of one year old. One of the appeals of moving to our current house was that Isabel would get her own bedroom. Not long after we moved she began her waking up, nightly, crying for her mother and/or father.

That was 23 months ago.

While she has gone for a night here, two nights there, she has not slept through the night for 7 straight days since we've relocated.

This week she is on a five day sleeping streak. She seems to have finally turned a corner... she's more content to stay in her room without crying and everyone is getting a better night's rest as a result.

Yea for me! And Isabel -- her mood has greatly improved this week. But mostly, yea for me.
