Our neighbors got a new puppy: an eleven-week-old chocolate lab (very cute) named Hudson. I asked the new doggy mom how Hudson was sleeping. "Like a baby," our neighbor answered. I wrinkled my nose and said sympathetically, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear it. So, he's waking up and howling or crying every few hours?" The neighbor laughed and explained "No, he goes into his crate at 8pm and we don't hear from him again until about 7 or 8am."
I clearly have a skewed perception of the phrase "sleeping like a baby" based on my experience with my little non-sleepers, whom I love dearly.
