Mr. Tall spent last night in the hospital doing a sleep study. You know – where they hook dozens of probes up to you and then expect you to sleep deeply so they can monitor you. Right!
Anyway, he had a conversation with the tech guy about kids and how some of our kids sleep deeply, but others are light sleepers.
The sleep tech said that you need to get into a deep REM sleep stage in order to grow as that is when your body does all of its’ growing. I found this interesting as I sleep so well that an earthquake couldn’t wake me at times.
I must have done a ton of REM sleeping as a kid and during puberity. So I told Mr. Tall that from now on, he needs to wake me every hour so I don’t have a chance to enter into REM sleep as I don’t want to grow any taller at this point.

May I Share Some Good News?
I’m just bursting inside and want to share some good news with you. For the past 3 years, my husband and I have been trying to adopt a baby girl from Asia. We just found out that we are finally through the adoption phase and our baby girl is officially ours. We will pick her up mid April.
Yes, ladies I will have a short daughter. Don’t get upset with me. I did my part and contributed 4 tall boys to this world.
Adoption is something I have felt called to do since college. I was getting ready to volunteer in an orphanage when I met my husband. Instead, I opted for marriage, but have felt drawn toward the idea of adopting since then. It’s been a long journey and process. Adoption is not for sissies. I can’t think of anything better that I can contribute to the world, than giving an orphan a family! Our baby is less than a year old and we can’t wait to kiss her sweet cheeks.
