Settling in

grandkids.JPGFeb. 15: It’s a sunny morning, and the world is feeling a little clearer to me.  Sylvia has been napping for longer stretches – during the day she’s been asleep for nearly three hours.  At night, I don’t think she’s gone for more than about 1 1/2 hours of sleeping at a stretch.  One major improvement since the prior nights is that last night she would eat for 10 -20 minutes and then go back to sleep rather than just pretty much nurse constantly.  That gave me the opportunity to get some much-needed sleep:)
This morning she’s been snuggling in her little chair under her beautiful, soft pink blanket from my Aunt Kate.
Andrew spent much of the morning listening to a Fantasia 2000 CD we got him for Valentine’s Day.  He just loves Fantasia, and it’s neat to sit with him, curled up under the blankets and talk about what is happening during each part of the music.  He gets a far-away look in his eyes, and you can just tell that he is visualizing it all in his head.  “What happening now?” is his oft-repeated question.  He likes to be held during the scary parts and sometimes sings along or clucks his tongue in time to the music.  What a neat kid:)
Sunshine and sleep.  A good combination, I think!
I just copied all the photos that Granny Lu took over the last couple weeks, and I added them to the last few albums in the gallery.  Enjoy!
