Songs of morning birds
A soundtrack to start my day
While I feed my child
Family, friends, faith
Spend a little time with each
Days will be fulfilled

Early wake up call
Baby almost getting there
Sleeping through the night
+
Stout cup of coffee
Yawns starting to multiply
Sleep deprivation
Baby girl sleeping
Tucked away in sweet slumber
Dreaming happy thoughts
+
I’ve been listening to this song for a long time, and now it resonates with me so much more. I thought I would post it along with this Haiku today. My girl is only 5 days old, and yes, I am making her a Parrothead already.

Autumn happiness
A child brought into the world
My little daughter
+
Became a dad on 10/19/2015 for a second time. My baby girl is another precious gift. Newborn days ahead – see you for a while sleep.

SELLING SIDEBAR
I know this has nothing to do with the post, but I just released “Joyride” back onto Kindle. I thought some of you out there might like to read it – especially any dads (or moms) reading this post.
(Revised and Updated: 2015) A Joyride in a Chevy Chevelle. The car was just sitting there for the taking. What could possibly go wrong? Vinnie and Mike are about to find out what can and will go wrong once they turn the key. Evil awaits. Ride shotgun if you dare with this short story.

Sitting on a bench
Watching his son as he plays
Time goes way too fast

I posted this one to my other blog this morning. I thought I might share it here as well. A post about Father’s Day, so have a happy one to all you dads out there.
Sleeping through the night
Son in his big boy bed
First time, all night long
+
My son has just moved over to his big boy bed. One day the crib, next his big boy bed. Growing so fast. I thought I would share this news, because I am so proud of him. I don’t know if you have seen this blog or not, but I have started talking about being not only a parent, but a stay at home dad. You can check out that blog here: daddystayhome.wordpress.com
How did you parents reading this handle your child’s sleep transition? Just curious.
