Evening Sleep

Dr. Pediatrician took this picture last night while I was sleeping, obviously. The Banana is fussy in the evenings, which is the time of day that I really expect to be able to get things done after Mr. Destructoman and Ms. Crazy Preschooler are tucked into their cozy beds. The last few nights I have just given up on the notion of being productive in the evening and have just snuggled on the couch with The Banana at about 8:00 p.m. After about three minutes, we’re both sound asleep; she’s warm and cozy and I am just plain bone tired. Often I get up for four or five hours when she wakes up next at 1:00 in the morning and get a few things accomplished while the world snores away. The unfortunate thing is that I usually fall asleep before I remember to put on my pajamas, and sleeping in your blue jeans just isn’t the same.
