13+ Hours

The events of our Spring Break "stay-cation" finally caught up with William. After playing outside yesterday afternoon, he came in and feel asleep on the couch shortly after 4. (Even "Superman has to sleep.) 

Around dinner time, he still wasn't awake and we were unsuccessful in waking him up (ticking his feet, calling him name, shaking his shoulder, etc.), so we took a gamble and put him to bed. We figured it would either work, or backfire. In the end, he slept until 4:45 and then went back to sleep for an hour. In that last hour, I laid in bed with him in hopes of getting every last minute of sleep out of him. Once awake, we had some sweet conversation while we waited for the "6" to turn to "7". Among his reflections..."You are the best mommy ever" and "Daddy doesn't cry.  Daddies and mommies don't cry because they don't ever hit their heads."
