Marisa (as a baby) and sleep you wont find in the dictionary. She stopped sleeping at all during the day before she was one. No joke. Why I remember this is I was so shocked that she slept on her 1st birthday, I had to wake her up for her name day ceremony and she was still sleepy - but the reason why the next day - she'd gotten tonsilitis and wasn't well. She didn't do it since then unless she is sick - it's the only time she ever day sleeps and even now.

Elijah has dropped from two sleeps to one for the last five or six months (he is 15 months) - he used to have two smaller sleeps (about an hour) but now has one big one at lunch. It's now harder to get him settled at lunch and he's more likely to sleep after lunch, for less than he used to. So I am thinking this sleep is going to be getting smaller and smaller. He always wakes at 6.30am regardless and still wakes in the night.
