When he was in the crib, we didn’t really pay too much attention to his sleep movement, and so initially we didn’t put out the pillows. But after he fell asleep that first night, we kept checking on him, and noticed that he likes to roll all over the place while he sleeps, so we quickly crept in and put down the pillows. About two in the morning, Amy heard him whimpering a little (you sleep very lightly when you have kids — or so I’m told, and my own experience seems to bear it out), and went to check on him. Sure enough, he had fallen out of the bed and landed on the pillows, so she helped him back in and stayed with him a little longer until he fell asleep again. For what it’s worth, I fell out of the bed even when I was a teenager…

…And the haircut. Well, it was an accident and it won’t happen again. I’m letting it grow back out now; the part that will still grow, that is. Maybe I’m going for a sort of Will Shakepeare, Benjamin Franklin sort of look. I can’t very well be a non-conformist with a haircut that conforms to other people’s preferences, now can I?

I have to make a confession. I didn’t mean to, but I kind of snickered when you said that Grady only fell out of the bed once in the night. Please forgive my parenting ignorance, but does that happen often? How did you know? Now I’m going to have to ask my mom how many times I fell out of the bed. That might explain some things..

Also, I dig the new haircut!
