Downs

• Calvin consistently starts waking up around 4:30 each morning. This means he’ll cry for about 10 minutes, go to sleep for 20 and repeat until he decides he really is ready to get up. It is routine enough that I’m now starting to wake up just before he starts crying. I had trouble going to sleep after that in anticipation of the next bought of crying.

Ups

• Calvin was in a very good mood today. He barely cried at all.
• So far, I’m liking the new schedule. I seem to be more productive at work which makes the rest of the day feel more better.

Calvin Moment

• Calvin has started doing some serious toddling without any support. He walked about 1/2 the living room several times today without stumbling.

Simplification

• Shredded a stack of old receipts from 2008.
