His daycare provider says Harry is happy again. I guess we knew that, but it's good to hear that he's back to his old self when we're not there, too, since he still seems to be a little clingy when I drop him off in the mornings. The daycare provider also agrees that Harry's illness was almost certainly the reason he has been a little higher maintenance lately.

It's possible, on the other hand, that his refreshed outlook is more the result of better sleeping during the last two nights. I'd like to think these last couple of nights suggest that Harry has already adjusted to our new nighttime habits, and maybe he has to some degree, but I'm sure that we aren't through with awkward sleep habits. Perhaps it's more likely that he's sleeping better on a full stomach, since Harry's mother just returned to the practice of nursing him right before we go to sleep. That's usually a couple of hours after Harry has laid down for the night and it's actually quite fascinating. He never really wakes up during these sessions, yet apparently eats heartily nonetheless. And, if it gets him to sleep solidly through the rest of the night, we'll take it.
