Cooper didn’t sleep very well last night. Up every hour and some change. For a kid that’s been sleeping (or at least lying quietly) 12 hours at a stretch for the past month, this has been unfortunate change.

An even more unfortunate change, I was up – wide awake for way too long. Got a call from my dad (hundreds of miles north) first thing in this morning- saying he wasn’t able to sleep last night.

This afternoon, the green grass in the yard was covered with a fresh layer of snow.
