On my way into work now, after an early start courtesy of the end of Summer Time and Oscar. Awake and active at about 5.00 this morning, he was. He's usually an early riser and coupled with the clocks going back this weekend he's now a ridiculously early riser. Stupid Summer Time.

It's made worse by the expectation that next Sunday my wife is going into hospital for a gall bladder operation. She'll likely be away for at least two nights and Oscar is entirely used to a bedtime routine centred round his mother. I lack a couple of important assets, you see.

Well, he's in for a rude awakening. Unfortunately I will be too, no doubt.

I'm taking all of next week off to man the home front during Sam's hospital stay and subsequent recovery. Thank goodness my job has that sort of flexibility

Such a pity no-one has been able to work out yet how to change infants' body clocks.

Our daughter was a little older when I left [livejournal.com profile] speakr2customrs in charge of her - about 14 months. Somewhere there is a wonderful picture of her covered in the chocolate filling from Hit biscuits - when she was 'playing quietly' he didn't investigate, just breathed a sigh of relief.

Pity he hadn't realised that she had worked out how to open the biscuit tin, and how to take the two halves apart and lick out the filling....

Oh that devilish quiet. A little voice at the back of your head says, 'Shouldn't you go check on them. It's too quiet.' This is all too easily drowned out by the yawning monster in your brainstem demanding sleep, or even 5 minutes peace.

Such compromises we make, and we reap the chocolate stained consequences.
