At dinner recently Michael and I got to talking about one of our favorite subjects: Lake. He actually had already gone to bed. And incidentally he’s been sleeping through the night all week now… about ten hours. It’s a great feeling! So, we got to talking about how remarkably happy he is in general, which you may have noticed is all the time. 

Michael loves a scale for quantification and classification. Therefore he invented the Tolle VanLaanen Happiness Scale: for infants. Exclusion criteria are greater than 12 months and cats. It’s a 0-3 point scale. 

0: no happiness 

1: lowest 5th percentile 

2: middle 85% normal distribution 

3: highest 5th percentile 

Lake is a perfect 3.

We are so blessed!

Pajama days. Pajama daze. First it was pajama Friday, then it was pajama Sunday. Mummy has been sick. Lake’s fashion cred has taken a hit. Or has it? Maybe he’s just rocking a few new looks. He’s such a good sport. He doesn’t mind. He’s all smiles!
