Emrick has had a pretty good morning routine going for several weeks now. He wakes up for the day, gets a diaper change, plays for a while, eats breakfast, plays some more, and then he is ready for a nap. The nap happens very predictably around three hours after he first wakes up. Maybe two and half, if he didn’t sleep well the night before.<\/p>\n
It’s been nice to count on that nap, and to know when it will happen. If he wakes up at 7:30, the nap happens at 10:30. If he wakes up at 6:50, the nap happens around 9:50. Three hours. And when that three hours is up, I can shower, or do dishes, or just chill. If he naps long enough, I do all three!<\/p>\n
What I did not predict, though, was that if one takes a Pookie into the master bedroom after breakfast to watch the Royal Wedding, (which one DVR’d so one could watch it at a reasonable hour), Pookie will go down for a nap an hour and a half<\/strong> ahead of schedule<\/em>! Yep, turns out, babies get bored. One too many pre-wedding commentator-speculations on what Kate’s dress was going to look like, and Pookie was out for the count!<\/p>\n And then, no joke, the moment<\/em> the ceremony ended, his head sprang up and he was awake! He’s so smart! Of course, I guess he could have been faking<\/em> sleep until the wedding was over. If that’s the case, then I wish he would do that more often, like from 7PM to 8AM every day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ahhh, Emrick. You may not be interested in royal weddings, but you are the Earl of Chubby-cheek-shire and the Prince of Pookiness…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/marcusandshona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/IMAG0093.jpg\" "\\"IMAG0093\\"")
