We tried an experiment this week: Instead of arranging Tessa's meal times in the afternoon so we'd get a last snack in somewhere between 8 and 9, we let things fall where they may. Anything after 6:30 was considered her last meal of the day. We were nervous that she'd wake us up half an hour after we went to sleep. But she pretty much stuck to her old nighttime schedule: waking up between midnight and 2, then sleeping on me until 5:30 or 6. This kid rocks it!
The one exception to the sleeping like a rockstar routine was last night. Tess has had a cold for the past couple of days. Her temperament has not been affected; she's the same contented little baby she's always been. But she's been boogertastic, plus in the mornings and after eating she has a little rattly cough. Last night she just got too snuffly to sleep. When we turned on a light at about 4 to suck her nose clean, she took it as a wake-up call and so we were up. Boy, by the time she hits school, this girl is going to have the immune system of a rock.
