The big news for the day is not that we went to library babygarten yesterday, even though it was a little cool to be nonchalant and reassure a new-to-babygarten mom that I wasn't worried about Juniper putting the communal toys in her mouth. And it's not that I went to see Sherlock Holmes last night - it's always fun to get out, but while it had some cute moments, my overall feeling was "meh", not helped by the fact that I found it quite difficult in several spots to understand what anyone was saying (not that I had trouble following the plot ("plot"), but I wasn't seeing this movie for plot, I was seeing it for Holmes/Watson interaction, to which Holmes's fast mumbly dialogue would have been relevant). No, nothing so inconsequential: this morning's headline definitely reads "Juniper wakes once!" instead of the three or four times a night it's been recently. And the first part of the night was one of those lovely solid six-or-seven-hour night sleeps. I am in no particular hurry for her to sleep entirely through the night - *I* don't sleep through the night without a drink and a pee, so a quick 3 am feed-and-change isn't disruptive, if she'll go right back down - but the possible, even occasional return of the 6h-then-3h sleep pattern is wonderful. Such are the priorities in our little world...
