@InOrderOfImport Congratulations! Check out Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth. My kid is 19 so maybe it's outdated, but it helped me a lot back when he wouldn't sleep unless he was in motion.

I just saw Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt, and I'm sorry to report that it feels like the work of someone who just found out he's Jewish (which it is) and thinks he needs to be didactic about everything because to him it's news—but the rest of us have known it forever.
