The car radio is tuned to All Classical FM and Babycakes and I pulled out of the garage this morning to the sound of Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." It felt like a ridiculously dramatic way to start the day and I had to laugh. The timing was perfect.

Luckily T didn't feel the need to live up to our "soundtrack" on the way to day care. He was calm, quiet, and sleepy, so I fed him, snuggled him, and put him down for a nap when we got there at 8:30. He really does take naps that early sometimes - especially when he wakes up at 6:30. He went to bed at 7pm last night and slept for 6 hours, then 3.5, then 2. Absolutely amazing! I'm not holding my breath that he'll do it again, but it's nice to know he can. Now if I could just put myself to bed earlier maybe I'd get a nice long stretch of sleep. Then again, 3.5 hours in one stretch is an absolute luxury that I've only been privileged to enjoy once or twice in the last 5 months.
