From sleep to shining sleep

You know, I sometimes feel as if I live my life from one piece of Leah-sleep to the next. Like stepping stones used to cross a creek, her intervals of sleep are the solid ground I use to cross my days - from one nap to the next. It's how I navigate my days; how I tell time. Her sleep is what makes that time speed up or slow back down again. It changes day to day, accompanied by good or bad moods and a meager or hearty appetite.

Is the baby asleep? Good - I can do some work. Or pee. Or eat. Or, I don't know... sleep!
