Ostrich Sleep

Kyle seems to be quite similar to his Mommy and Daddy in certain respects. At times, he is quite his own person and it is difficult to tell which of us he inherited certain traits from. Other times, our parental genes were so in-line with one another that the there was no other option but to have been passed on to our child.

One case in point is mornings. One thing is quite certain...Kyle is not a morning person. Nobody in our household is a morning person. We all prefer to lay in bed as late as possible and then slowly emerge from blissful slumber over a period of, ideally, hours. In the case of the older two-thirds of us, we reluctantly drag ourselves out of bed (at the last possible minute before we're destined to be late) and sleepily stagger through the first 15 - 20 minutes until our bodies finally, grudgingly recognize that we are up.

Kyle, on the other hand, has not yet had to experience the trials and stresses of being late for work. I'm thinking we may have to start working on the "Get a job" speech soon. He prefers to just lie there and adjust from one position to another in order to keep a steady level of sleepy comfort.

This particular morning, he seemed to have been so very determined to remain asleep that, when we went into his room to wake him up, he was in the ostrich-sleep position. When we tried to rouse him, he changed positions, but still with his head buried.
