- Stage sleeping in:
- Awaken before 6:00 am to strange noises/smells, and realize your baby is awake
- Argue about who spent more time up with the baby during the night.
- Realize the mom is almost always the "winner" here.
- Kiss to show no serious hard feelings, and hand baby off to partner for one hour, more tired parent sleeps in.
- Swap places with baby and bed, second partner naps for an hour.
- Baby naps:
- Everyone snuggle in bed and get baby ready for nap.
- Baby feels so loved and wonderful, baby inevitably goes down for long, wonderful nap.*
- Enjoy what you would've normally done on a Saturday morning before you
had an infant that woke up at the crack of dawn, demanding your
near-constant attention, but be aware that your napping child is really a
ticking time bomb, so hustle through your relaxing activities.
- High-five each other - you are awesome. Pretend that having a child really hasn't completely wrecked every weekend.
*Note: This doesn't always work. Baby may be on to your plan...
