A Good Day

     Well, today was indeed a good day for multiple reasons.  Reason one: James slept for three and a half consecutive hours last night.  Patrick and I were euphoric.  Now, I imagine it's too much to hope for a repeat of that particular performance tonight, but it was really nice to at least have a couple hours of sleep in a row for once. 

     Reason two: James is getting better at his feeding.  He's now successful without the aid of assorted gadgets about a third of the time he eats.  This pleases me tremendously as the whole stress of feeding him is occasionally more than I can handle when it doesn't go right.  If there are at least a few bright spots, then I have an opportunity to regain my optimism.  

     Reason three: James had his pictures professionally taken on Friday, and we can now look at the previews of said pictures on the photographer's blog (http://www.stylizedportraiture.com/blog).  You have to scroll down a bit to find them.  He's on there as Baby J.  They're awfully cute, even though my father thinks they're pornographic.  I'm quite pleased with them.  I can't wait to see all the pictures she took in about a week or so.  They'll be on a different web site, so I'll tell you where that is if you are interested in seeing them.  

     So, as far as James was concerned, the day was a wild success.  Less so for me personally as my long-term sub had to quit, so I had a good bit of work to do today to prepare a new sub.  But that's a different story, and this isn't really the forum for telling it.  So, James had a good day.  I'll be content with that, and I hope you are too.
