another price of fatherhood

yeah, so we're trying to let our son cry it out these days. If he starts crying in the middle of the night, we let him work it out on his own. Unless its late enough for him to get up...

so here's how it goes, Yesterday (actually, the night before yesterday...if that makes sense...not last night, but the night before) He slept pretty well, waking up and wimpering a small amount, but right back to sleep for him. Then, at 5:30am he starts making some noise. I have to get up at 6, so I figure he'll amuse himself for a bit and then want to get out by 6. So I just lay in bed.

All of a sudden my wife was like, "Zach, it's 6:30..." (there should be an exclamation point there, but we were both so out of it). Yeah, I probably could have dozed/slept until at least 7am yesterday.

Today, he's wide awake at 5:40. On my day off.

Just another small price of fatherhood.
