No sleep till Monday

Every day when we come home from work, Sarwari tells us how nicely William slept.  Everyday, he sleeps from 1pm to 4pm, except the days he goes to sleep at noon or wakes up at 5.  But 1-4pm M-F might as well not exist for him, given how little he's awake at that time.  

Weekends are different.  Unless we muster early and get to a park or something in the morning, we usually don't leave the house.  Since William's bored, he often gets to sleep closer to noon than 1.  But he doesn't sleep until 4.  Sometimes he sleeps for an hour, sometimes two, but almost never the full 3 hours on a weekend.  This makes Sarwari very upset, and she sometimes tries to get him back to sleep.  That happened yesterday, but then the power went off and the a/c with it.  Thus ended that effort, and thus began one of his usual grumpy, tired weekend afternoons.  

Today, in an attempt to exhaust the boy so that he got his full afternoon nap, we went to the Marriott with a friend for breakfast.  Deepna was very nice to humor us by rousing herself for an 8:30 departure on a Sunday, and then to keep one of us company at breakfast while the other played in the pool with William.  He probably had a total of an hour or an hour and a half in the pool, playing hard most of the time.  He was clearly tired in the car, and looked like he was about to fall asleep as soon as we got home.  He kept himself up until 1pm, then went to sleep.  We figured surely with him that tired he'd take his full three hour nap.  But 2:15 rolled around, and there he was, ready to face the rest of the day.  At least today he's in a good mood.   And with Sean bringing two dogs to the house (William's favorite, Abi, and Sean's new puppy), the boy should be occupied enough to keep him reasonably happy.  Knock wood.
