hip hip hooray!

last nite the weather finally changed and became cool enough to bearably sleep. thank multiple dieties!

i am just not a hot weather person. neither seemingly is percy. she slept atrociously the nite before last- i was up every hour between 9pm and 1am to settle her. at 1:30am we gave up, set up the port-a-cot in our bedroom and brought her in to sleep with us. it's cooler in our room because that is where the air con system is. yes, we have been complete environmental vandals and run the air con over nite on several occasions now. it did work, she fell asleep pretty quickly, one little settle around 4am (which i was able to largely do; saying 'hush', while still lieing in my own bed) to wake around 7am.

by contrast percy slept a lovely 12 hours last nite from 6:30pm to 6:30am, with only one stir in the nite when i pulled up her blanket. yes, it was actually cool enough to need it!
she went to bed at 6:30pm because she had not napped like usual so we figured she needed it.
yesterday morning we drove to the beach and just before arriving little miss fell asleep in the car. she had a half hour nap and then nothing for the remainder of the day. a bit rough on us but manageable.
she also had a bath last nite for the first time in weeks. possibly only because it was towering with bubbles and i got in with her.

this morning, waiting on the platform for my train to work, i actually felt a bit cold. what bliss.
