Thank you for the curation!

I think we will spend the week or two after Christmas putting in the painful hours to break this bad sleeping habit. Having unbroken nights is something that is definitely worth a couple weeks of terrible nights.

Growth spurts... I had forgotten about those... hopefully this will pass soon... it can be quite painful I think! For both parent and child!

... about the heads, well... I've never really seen dessicated heads in real life... but in the semi dark, it really freaks you out when you catch it in the corner of your eye! These are the steamed fruit puddings... probably more of an English sort of thing. They need to be dried, and then on Christmas you steam them again... douse in brandy and set it on fire! With warm vanilla custard (or ice cream)... it is pretty awesome!
