6 hours straight!

Yes, you read that right, 6 hours. On Sunday night, an event of monumental proportions occured......Sean slept for 6 hours straight....without waking up....not even once! I was truly ecstatic, even at 5 in the morning when he eventually woke up. It happened like this: He got his bath (which he still enjoys tremendously), we cuddled a little, he got his last meal for the evening, we sang our song and then said our prayers, he got his kiss and then into bed he went where he shortly fell asleep....and slept....and slept some more.....and then SLEPT some more!!! I don't know when the last time was that I got SIX hours of sleep at one stretch (when I was pregnant I was having to get up every few hours to use the restroom, so it's been a LONG time). For those of you without children, you probably don't quite get the excitement. That's fine....it'll happen soon enough I'm sure. So anyway, the excitement was short lived however (isn't it always?), as Sean developed his first head cold....hurray....from one milestone to the next. So now I'm dealing with those stupid rubber sucking devices that are supposed to get the mucus out of his nose, ha, fat chance. How the heck are you supposed to get it in the nostril in the first place, and then once you manage that feat, where exactly do you aim it to get the most snot? I have yet to master the SRSD (stupid rubber...etc). Luckily, thankfully, graciously, it seems to be a minor head cold, so the worst is that his poor little nose is stuffed up and so he has a bit of a hard time eating, and lying down, poor guy. Any suggestions on getting rid of the congestion would be appreciated. Well, that should do it for now. Enjoy your week! ~Joanna
