The complex baby

I don't think I'll ever understand how a baby's body works? I know routine's an important thing to a baby (heck, to us all) and so I know that my boy takes a feed about half seven and then falls asleep right after that 'til about six-ish in the morning (sometimes even seven!) But the other night I was forced to give him a bottle just after six in the evening (he pointed a gun at my head and called me a "dame") and half-way through the bottle he fell asleep. Totally out for the count!

That was him 'til five in the morning (which woulda been six had the clocks not went back) and since I was totally knackered, I brought him into my room to sleep beside me. This he managed 'til seven! So half a bottle will do him over twelve hours and a full bottle will keep him for about ten hours - eh?

Confusing.

But not as eye-openingly disturbing as when I played with my little girl (she's two and a half) this afternoon. She was on her bed playing with her My Little Ponies, so I picked one up and started playing with her which she absolutely loved. Then she turns to me and goes "let's play bash and scream!" and starts banging her pony into mine :o
