!!! wow. I think I get < 6 hours sleep fewer than a handful of times in a year. (although I have had 6+ *continuous* hours of sleep amybe a handful of times in my *life* - I am a frequent waker).

3 - absolutely, that's always been my take on it, although I do wish they'd do what I told them to do once in a blue moon!

Sophia is pretty good at doing what she's told. Gideon is more mediocre, but if I put on Parent Voice then generally gets the hint. I'm sure it will all stop working when they're older!

#5: a bit late, but my brain has just come up with the idea "there's a nap for that".

That's fantastic!
