In Oliver’s world there is no “day” there is just “night” and “no-night.”

In the evening as the sun goes down it becomes time for “night.” In the morning, when the sun comes up and the darkness is replaced by light, there is voice, inches away from my face which enthusiastically announces “No-night mommy! No-night!”

The baby does not “sleep.” P is either “awake” or “no-awake.” No-awake is usually easily resolved by being poked at which point baby is “awake!” again. The baby does “nap” but when nap time is over, baby enters “no-nap” time, sometimes with a helpful poke.

There is also “no baby!” but that is reserved for when P gets into something of O’s.
