Sleeping In Late

We have had an amazing October here in Seattle. Normally October is when the rainy season begins but this month it was sunny almost everyday. With very little rain and wind the leaves have been falling slower and it is the prettiest fall season I have experienced in Seattle. The area we moved to is more mountainous so the seasonal change is much more dramatic as well. Today however the clouds and rain have moved in and I am guessing they are here to stay for awhile unfortunately.

Evan wakes up consistently between 7-8 am but today he slept in really late, almost until 10. It is likely that because it was so dark out that he probably thought it was not time to get up. You might think this is a great thing because who would not want to sleep in a little later themselves. In my overly protective paranoid mind it meant something must be terribly wrong. I debated going in to check on him for fear of waking him up knowing how I tend to have an overactive imagination. I took a shower with the monitor turned all the way up so I could here any peep he might make. After my shower I still heard no signs of him stirring, naturally as any first time Mom I assumed the worst. I assumed he had been kidnapped and could no longer abate my fears and quietly crept into his room. There he was was fast asleep safe in his crib. What is so comical about this insane thought that I had is that apparently I am not alone. I was talking to my friend Joy this morning and before I told her about the events in my morning she shared with me that she thought her daughter must have been kidnapped when she did not wake at her normal time. This validated that I am not in fact crazy since someone else shared in my fears! Either that or it means both Joy and I are crazy which is also very likely...
