Our "super sleeper"

Of course, I'm talking about Colin - the master of sleeping.

But first a little history, our "super sleeper" surprisingly does not do naps anymore. We used to say that every two weeks or so, Colin will take a nap and catch up. But recently when he does take a nap, he doesn't go to bed until late at night (like 10pm).

So Colin has been acting very spastic recently, which usually means he is sleep deprived. Putting him to bed has also been a major ordeal. Sunday night, Bob started at 7pm to put him to sleep, but Colin was being very difficult, wouldn't even let Bob put his diaper on. So Bob just left the room and went downstairs. By the time Bob got downstairs and turned on the monitor, it was quiet. A few minutes later, snoring. We go to check, and Colin doesn't have a diaper on. We decided to wait an hour to put a diaper on him. That way, Colin will be in a deeper sleep.

We go back up an hour later. Colin is asleep on his back, good sign. Bob takes his pants off, then underwear, and then puts the diaper and sweat pants on without a single movement out of Colin. He is completely out. The creepiest part about it was his eyes were slightly open. Sleeping with his eyes open. I've never seen someone in such a deep sleep.
