Sugarbush

We had a great day at Fulton's Sugar Shack today. We met Gramma and Grandpa and Aunt Caitlin there for a great meal. There was a young guy playing fiddle there who was quite good. Quinn was quite taken with the music. Once the lunch rush subsided, some of the staff were doing some step dancing. It was a fun time all around, and Quinn was taking it all in. After that we went for a sleigh ride. The weather was perfect and the people were friendly, and Quinn loved the horses.

Unfortunately Quinn got so keyed up by the whole affair that he wouldn't nap this afternoon. Not in the car, not in his crib once we got home, not even in our bed with us. Oh well - bedtime came early and he held up pretty well in the interim. Hopefully the overtiredness doesn't affect tonight's sleep. It would have to go some to be worse than last night's, waking up half a dozen times. It's frustrating that sleep is still such a struggle after all this time. It's no accident that nature makes kids that cute :)

Yesterday we had a great skate on the canal. Quinn had his first taste of a Beaver Tail. He was quite taken with the whole idea. A lifetime love affair with sugar begins...hopefully it's not at the root of the sleep problems.
