Rowan Tree and Red Thread

2008 seems to have arrived safely as I slept. With a 9 month old boy of erratic sleep patterns I was never going to stay up 'til midnight.

Sam, however, was up late. Oscar decided the time between midnight and 3am was perfect play time and Sam's early birthday present left me sleeping as she dealt with the boy.

He seems to be none the worse for his lack of sleep and odd hours. He's currently watching one of his grandparents' dogs expectly skin a tennis ball. I can't tell if he's delighted or horrified. He's certainly mesmerised.

So for 2008 my first and most fervent wish is for health for all the family. 2007 had quite a few ups and downs in this respect and we could all do with a more stable, healthy routine.

Oscar, this means sleeping. At night. Understand?

Happy New Year everyone.
