On any given night someone will: - have a nightmare - lose a teddy bear - have a pullup-overflow - wake up and want to play Or I will: - have a nightmare - lose a pillow - need to pee - OK, I never wake up and want to "play" And so on. So in my experience it gets better, but I never get a full week of full nights sleep. (Does that sound like I want to sleep for a week? Good!) Definitely better than the early days of waking every two hours, but I don't think I'll catch up on my sleep until hmmm... Need to do math here... Whenever 17 years from now is.

Maybe 2026. Thanks for reminding me that as she gets older...it will only get worse.
