A bump in the night The creak of a door
The squeak of a floor board…
all normal sounds in the middle of the night (well, at least if you live an old farm house like ours).
Except that in our house last night the only sound was rather subdued “crunch crunch crunch”.
Let me backtrack. Leah has been up for at least 2 hours in the middle of the night for last few nights (last night it was more like 3 hours). Apparently she's been hungry but wasn't actually realizing it. Around 4:30am, as a last ditch effort to fall asleep at some point before the alarm went off this morning, I brought up a ziploc of Cheerios (approx. 6 handfuls worth - which, considering my man-hands is a pretty good amount of little "o" shaped oat cereal).
She ate about 5 handfuls worth, drank a few sips from my bottle of water and (after protesting for about 5 minutes) went to sleep until after I left for work around 7:30am.
