Snow city and sleep problems

Our perfect snow conditions continue here in Asker. All of the lovely snow is still here and the temps have dropped to -3 to -8, the skies are partially clear and it is just so wonderful (except that we have to be at work all day). Here is a photo of our back yard before we made a pathway through it. Compare with the photo taken a few posts back for perspective.
And here is the area where Bentley does his business - the site of a former tennis court with a really lovely view of the fjord.
At barnehage, the kids are having a blast playing in the snow everyday. The 'big kids' (ages 4-5) get to go cross-country skiing and playing in the forest several times a week and Rhiannon is so eager to get big so she can join them next year. She is not super excited about skiing yet, although she has put them on to walk around and even go down a little hill a few times now. Anyway, it is more fun to go fast on a sled so that's what she is into these days.

We are going through a sort of rough time right now with Tryfan. He has been waking up just before 5am and wide awake but not in very jovial spirits. Rhodri and I have been taking turns getting up with him so the other person can sleep in until 6:30am. These early wakings got worse after our camping trip last weekend and so now he is in this awful routine where he wakes at 5am but by about 10:30am he just cannot keep his eyes open anymore. He has fallen asleep at the lunch table 2 times this week and asleep in the sandbox (should be called snowbox) once -- and its only Wednesday. Poor little guy! Photos were taken but I dont have copies yet. I will post them when I get them though because they are hilarious! We tried limiting his day time nap to 2 hours today (rather than 3) so hopefully the little bugger will sleep through that 5am barrier. Fingers crossed!
