If you haven't talked to Alpha Female in a while, I recommend that you don't. If you have, I am sorry. I'm sure the conversation involved a lot of sleep induced blank stares on the part of Alpha Female, and when she did talk, she probably regaled you with Horton's nighttime adventures. I think he is being graded on the duration and timing of his sleep. Sleeping for four continuous hours is good, but it only counts if it occurs when it's dark out.
I hate to be as boring as Alpha Female by blogging about this, but I feel it's my duty to share, as she has become obsessed with getting Horton to sleep more at night. She has developed a continuing string of hypothesises. He isn't sleeping all night because (1) he's too cold, (2) he's not wrapped up tightly enough, (3) he isn't eating enough, (4) he's too hot, (5) he wrapped up too tightly, (6) he slept too much during the day, (7) he didn't sleep enough during the day.... As soon as one hypothesis is proven wrong, she replaces it with another increasingly complicated reason to explain why our seven week old doesn't sleep through the night. She just can't seem to accept that the reason he isn't sleeping through the night is because he is just seven weeks old!
Now on to a much more interesting topic: me! Yesterday was my tenth birthday. Alpha Male forgot all about it, but when Alpha Female mentioned it to Thing 1, that precious little child suggested that they make a cake for me. Unfortunately, they didn't let me eat any, but it's the thought that counts. And they sure made a mess baking that cake. Shouldn't one of the Alphas supervise this sort of thing?

Wow, Dana's adventure brings back so many memories. Your cousin Dom had three forearm breaks in his fourth year of life. He soon grew to love the cast because could hit his brother harder, and he could get super leverage to climb trees easily by propping it in the Y of the branches. I hope all heals quickly.
