Downs

• Calvin got up before 5:30 again but luckily I felt fairly rested.
• Daycare reports that Calvin has two teeth coming in on the bottom. Most likely, this means that Calvin will be very restless at night for the next couple of weeks and neither Calvin nor I will get much sleep.

Ups

• Calvin took a longer nap than usual this morning so I got a lot of stuff done.
• We had book club tonight. Turned out that only Jaeger and I were able to make it but we had a good discussion with each other. We’ve decided to read The Dragons of Babel by Michael Swanwick for next month.

Cute Calvin Moment

• I always assumed that Calvin would be a back sleeper since he was religiously put on his back to sleep as a newborn. In fact, at one point he could roll onto his stomach but not his back and he would wake me up screaming furiously at the indignity of being on his stomach. However, ever since he was capable of rolling both directions, he has chosen to sleep on his stomach. He looks really funny sleeping on his stomach. Calvin doesn’t turn his head or anything. He sleeps ramrod straight with his nose pressed into the mattress. I suppose that might be one reason parents are recommended to buy very firm mattresses for babies.

Simplification

• I cleaned underneath the bathroom sink on our main level. I was startled to discover I still had breast milk storage bags under there.
