Henry sleeps for most of the evening, wakes up for a bit of a play or a chew on his antler, but is usually zonked by about 9 or 10pm. Hubby takes him out at about 11.30 or midnight for last wee & poo, then he sleeps until about 7am (has been as late as 8.45am!), although yesterday it was 5.50am (grrrr). When he wakes up that early I plonk him back on the sofa and go back to bed for a bit. If it's a more reasonable hour (after 6.30, as this is when hubby's alarm goes off) I just go into the sitting room, climb under two blankets and he hops up and curls up against my body with his nose nuzzled in my elbow pit
- it's my favourite thing in the world! We usually snooze like that for an hour or two - at the moment we've got a decorator who arrives at 8.15-8.30 so it's up then. He usually nods off a bit until 9am when he gets breakfast. Then more snoozes until I take him for walkies - 10.30-11am ish. I let him out to go to the loo either before or after the cuddle session - he doesn't need to go sometimes, while other times he's desperate. Before the decorator was coming he'd wake up and hop off the sofa and get a bit restless and I'd be woken up by this little face about 18 inches from mine making a little "mummy, I'm hungry" noise, accompanied by an intense stare!
