The past several nights, Anna has almost slept straight through the night. I think it was sometime last week that she woke me up at 5:30am instead of the 3am I’m accustomed to. She’s been doing it every night since (Pascha excluded). I’m still not used to it, as every time I look at the clock, I start wondering dreamily if we’ve gotten up yet to eat.

The only trade-off is that during the day, she demands - not so nicely anymore - to eat every 1.5-2 hours (sometimes every hour, sheesh!) to make up for her long stretch at night without food. She used to eat every 2.5-3 hours, so I’m able to get less done during the day now… I didn’t think that was possible.

Once she starts going until 6 am, I’ll consider her as having slept through the night. I think to qualify for that, it has to be a time I’d actually consider getting out of bed for the day and not going back to sleep.
