Night Owl or Early Bird?
We’ve already established that little Ezra may have an affinity for ducks, but I am wondering now if he is going to be a night owl or early bird. For a while, I was pretty sure that he was definitely going to be an early bird, like his dad.
For the last 6 weeks or so, Ezra’s been tired and put down to sleep anywhere from 5:30 - 7:00. Those weeks, it was normal for him to go to sleep and not wake up again until 5 or 6 in the morning, aside from maybe a snack here and there. But now, what was normal is possibly becoming not normal. What’s been normal the last 5 nights is Ezra getting fussy and then going to sleep at about 6, but then waking up after about 2 hours and wanting to eat and talk, or cry and then eat and talk, maybe do a little stand practicing, maybe get in a diaper change, before finally agreeing (2 hours later) to fall asleep again. So far, this hasn’t been accompanied by any middle-of-the-night periods of extreme wakefulness, and it also hasn’t been accompanied by much difference in the time that Ezra wakes up. But the fact that he isn’t totally ready to call it a night at 6pm makes me think that maybe he could still become a night owl like his mom (used to be).
