I have been inspired by many things recently and I wanted to blog about it, but I am so tired I have hard time writing even these lines. Luka is going through a phase (at least that's how we think about it) and every few days he wakes up at the middle of the night but then he does not go to sleep for hours. Last week, two days in a row he was up for four hours one night, and three hours the next. Just last night he woke up at midnight and was up until about 4:30am. He then woke up at 8am, cheerful as always. I am not so cheerful.
He has not been sleeping well since he was about 10 months old (he is 2 years and 3 months old now). That was the time he started with ear infections, so most of the time he would wake up because of pain. But even after he got the tubes in his ears, and the ear infections stopped, he continued to wake up, every night. I think we had maybe 20 nights since then that he did not wake up. Most of the time he wakes up once and goes back to sleep soon, but sometimes it could take an hour or so. And he does not wnt to be alone and I have a rule that he cannot go to sleep crying. So I stay with him. And to give him some credit, he does not cry, or fuss, or try to talk to me or play. For the most part he is down and is trying to go to sleep, but he just can't. I feel bad for him, but sometimes, like last night I get frustrated. Oh well...

So, I will rest a bit. UHD (Universal HD channel) is showing a rerun of Northern Exposure, the best TV show ever. I have tivo-ed the entire first season, 8 episoed in all. That's what I am going to do now. That makes me happy...
