Permanence, temporarily

Quinn has learned object permanence. The upside of this is that he knows when an object goes out of sight that it still exists. The down side of this is that he now knows when mommy is out of the room. That does not go over well with him, especially when he's tired.

Which is most days these days it seems. We thought we had going-to-bed and naps pretty much nailed, and we were working on through-the-night and wakeup-time. Then everything went to hell again - naps got really short, meaning he was overtired all the time and sleeping fitfully because of it, resulting in a downward sleep spiral that we're still trying to extract ourselves from. Poor Bec is bearing the brunt of it again.

As part of the solution, we're trying to get him to bed earlier. So far it's not having much effect but it's early yet. What it means for me is that I get up at 7 and leave work at 5 (both unheard of times for me, those that know me will attest) and still don't see much of Quinn during the week.

Hopefully these too, are temporary, and shall pass.
