Everyone knows that women don't use logic ;-) but I'm beginning to think that babies don't use it for sleeping as well - at least mine.
Exhibit A: we went to visit Melissa and Jonathan in the BX recently and has dinner at their place. As usual, we didn't get home until after midnight and Oliver missed the 10:00pm cutoff time for sleeping, even if he slept in the stroller on the way home. Logic says that a baby going to bed late will thus sleep in later, much to mom and dads delight. Oliver, however, actually wakes up earlier when he goes to sleep so late. that's just what we want!
Exhibit B: today was a busy day with the second day of the Ukraine/Poland European Cup in action and two big games on TV. Susanna was coming over and we had a lot to get done, so Oliver skipped his normal 1-2 hour morning nap. On the early afternoon he had a short 30 minute nap and then was awake the rest of the afternoon. Logic says that the baby must be exhausted and will go to bed early, but tonight we actually couldn't get get him to sleep despite using all of the tools in our bag of tricks until an hour later the stroller walking in a pitch black apartment finally did it.
Maybe all babies (toddlers?) are like this, but Oli defies logic when it comes to sleeping. Excuse me as I pass out due to exhaustion and someone smoking a joint outside our window here in the ghetto :-/
