Our 3.5 month old puppy has a 7-8 hr bladder tolerance at most thus far ... So every night at 10pm I have to go back downstairs and outside to parade up and down my lawn in my bare feet and my pajamas, sometimes while brushing my teeth, until he pees. Sometimes Leah does this with me. It's kind of sweet and kind of annoying and kind of tiring and kind of reminiscent of taking Leah outside at night in the dark 8 years ago a whole bunch of times for months to try to convince her that the dark isn't actually scary around here, it's just different than the light. So even though I want to be in bed at 10pm bc I'm psychotic about attempting to get 8 hrs of sleep, I know that in less than 2 years, Leah won't be here to walk around in the wet grass, barefoot, in the dark with me. And so, I'm not actually going to complain about never hitting that 8 hrs these days. Because this whole parenting thing - it really is a blink.
