Well, seems if it’s not one thing it’s another. On our quest to make Hbomb the perfect robot baby, we’ve run into another snag: he just ain’t sleeping. For a while there he got into a pattern. 4 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours and wake up. It was awesome. Now… nada. We’re lucky if it’s 3 hours, 1 hour, 1 hour, wake up for 2 hours, then 2 hours.

We thought the time change would throw him back into a good sleep pattern, since we thought he was going to bed too early. So the day before day light savings he goes to be at 6. Day after day light savings he goes to bed at… 6? How the f’ does he know? I mean, really. One of these days I expect to catch him smoking and drinking the liquor when he thinks no one is looking, then playing baby again as if we didn’t notice. It reminds me of the old Marvin cartoon where Marvin, the infant, says “Hi Dad!” and his dad looks confused then Marvin says “April fools!” And everything returns to normal. I wonder if HBomb isn’t just making up a new malady when we solve one just to keep things interesting.

Pathetic fantasy ramblings aside, this is yet another thing we’d like to get sorted out. One of my best friends told me that when he had his kid, the nights were awful… and then one day, when he finally got to the point where he could no longer take it, his son’s sleeping patern just changed. We passed that point about a month ago. Maybe it’s all HBomb’s drinking when we’re not looking. Come to think of it, the Grey Goose was tasting strangely like water…
