Sleepless nights.... ON

Yesterday night was my first sleepless night (nearly) with Rudra. It wa s also a record of sorts for him. He slept only 3 hrs in a 12 hr period. and all those 3 hrs were in snatches of 15 min - 20 mins at a time. Both Sunina & the nanny were tired and sleepy but the dudes switch was turned all the way up - to ON!

Around 1 AM Sunina woke me up and presented me my opponent - Rudy to lull him to sleep. I tried various forms of martial arts - the rumbling stomach, the walking sleep, the shoulder chin up art, then my sonorous sound style. All i could get was 15 minutes out of him. He was more trained then I thought. I did the best thing possible - bring in the experts ! I sauntered back to my bed and fell off asleep.

I was woken up again around 3 AM with the tough warrior still fighting it out. Then my memory blurs. I remember buckling in and bringing in the nanny who was a now a little refreshed. We decided to tackle this tough guy from scratch.

We cleaned him up, changed his clothes, turned him around on her lap and gave him a constant one- twos on his back and off like a light for 4 hrs ! Here's the story :
