The Three Sides of Zoe Over the past few weeks I've been able to determine that Zoe has three sides to her personality. 1) Eating - Which she likes to do every 2.5 to 3 hours. Sometimes longer at night when she's sleeping. 2) Sleeping - A personality trait she may be trying to shed. It's hard to tell. She's still sleeping, but it appears she prefers sleeping on top of Mom or Dad to her crib. 3) Crying - Which she does with great gusto when she's not partaking in #1 or #2. I swear the girl cries more than Ian and Emma combined. In reality, she's really only a bad crier at night - but because that's when I see her the most, it influences my perception. Heather assures me Zoe doesn't cry all the time, but she will admit that Zoe is much more prolific a crier than our first two kids. Regardless, it's loud and frustrating. Cannot wait for her to outgrow this newborn stage. Because I take the late shifts so Heather can get some sleep and be rested for the next day and three kids, I've been going to bed really late. Over the last three weeks I've probably been averaging about 4 hours a sleep a night. I've been tired, but amazingly not as tired as I apparently was back when Emma was born. I'm still getting to read and feel like I'm remaining fairly patient with the other kids, unlike last time. Can't really explain the difference. Maybe its just experience. I'm a more seasoned Dad now. Whatever the reason, I'm glad I'm staying on top and in control at home. Now I just need to transfer that practice to the office. posted by Brendan | 3:38 PM | permanent link |
