6 and a half hours and counting

staying hydrated for the marathon night

three words that should never be used in reference to a 9 month old child: intentional sleep deprivation. yet annie and i find ourselves in the midst of just that. isaac hasn't slept since 3pm, it is now 9:37, and bedtime isn't for nearly another hour. his wake up call comes at 4:30am, which means ours does as well.

you might wonder why we would subject ourselves to such treatment, and that would be a very legitimate question. tomorrow morning he goes in for his extended hearing test and hearing aid fitting. he must be sleep deprived and then sedated in order to be able to conduct the procedure. we are glad it is sooner rather than later, and we are also very glad that we got the 8:30 am appointment instead of the 11:30am one.

isaac is a freaking champ, still laughing and dancing along with annie as she does jazzercise in the kitchen to keep him entertained. if only she were wearing leg warmers and a leotard, but alas, those days are long gone.
