Update: she woke up for 2 overnight bottles but slept fine otherwise? Which is somehow the most surprising result?

We really have to get her on longer sleeps though. She used to be better at this!

david.reviews: Merrily We Roll Along

★★★★: A touching story of lifelong friendships. Sort of odd, musically, but charming in its own way. The actual filming was odd- lots of super zoomed shots that you wouldn't get on the stage. It's not...

david.reviews: Wicked: For Good
