Vacation wears us out.

Sleep, water

Isaiah 

He wakes in bed beside me this morning and says, "You want to do that again?" Then he goes back to sleep, breathing deeply.

Bernadette

Last night at the YMCA, she was less enthusiastic about the pool than previous trips. 20 minutes in, still wet she falls asleep in my arms and sleeps through the noise, the splashes and the light until Marian arrives 40 minutes later.

Last week she fell near the end of our stint in the water and was completely immersed. I picked her up, and she looked surprised, but did not cry. Isaiah remains wary of submersion. 

Dozing on a different day at the K.C. airport.

Consequences

All that activity wears out little boys and girls.

Resting

You might not know it from looking at his parents these days, but Isaiah does sleep. And after the disappointed ice cream face, I thought people might enjoy a peaceful image.

Sleeping

Lots of resting today as Isaiah recovers from a stuffy nose. Made eating and breathing at the same time difficult. We walked outside and looked at trees, too. He complained some when he was awake, but it was more of a frustrated, want to feel better cry than the vehement protest he generates some days.

I can sleep through anything.

Another funny face.

Mom must be reading a very boring book.

Explain to me again why we needed a bigger mattress.

Oh, that's why we needed a bigger mattress.

Sleeping

One of the final days on the pillow top mattress. Oh how we loved it. But now we have a new, firmer, bigger mattress and everyone will sleep more soundly knowing it is safer.

He's doing better at sleeping at night as long as he can be close to mom. Thus the new mattress.

The Friedrichs talent for sleeping is strong in young Isaiah. Can't wait until he doesn't want to get up to go to school.

More ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZs

He was sacked out in his carseat on the way to the doctor's the other day. I can't figure out which way to orient this pic because there is no natural alignment, no matter which way I turn it.
