An Important Lesson

Cubby is accustomed to sleeping in his own bed. By himself. He will not sleep if I bring him into bed with us because of piteous teething wailing at 3:45 a.m. He will roll and thrash and headbutt my throat, but he will not sleep.

I'll remember this next time and remind myself that the crying will stop sooner rather than later, and even more sooner (settle down, grammar people, I know that's incorrect) if I just leave him alone to go back to sleep.

Had I only been thinking that clearly at 3:45 this morning, I could have had an extra hour of sleep.

Ah well. Parental education is ongoing. And tiring.
