Like a Child

I seem to be reverting to childhood, with an ability to fall deeply asleep after a quick yawn as soon as I get home from work. Although thinking about it I was never quite as small as this even just after being born.
However I do not think that I "sleep like a baby" , which to me implies that I wake up grizzling and being a pain to the entire home every hour or so. How did the phrase get started anyway? Probably said by some man prior to shared night baby feeds because it is true that babies can briefly look peaceful and angelic when asleep.
And this is not the only thing, I was attacked by a deep ice cream yearning yesterday which required action in spite of my commitment to continuing weight loss. Although my imagination was providing all sorts of choices I was held to a couple of Japanese ice lollies, which hit the spot but could have been bigger. But that would not have helped the diet though, would it?
But the one greatest thing to come from being a child still eludes me. The damn prostrate prevents me from certain things that are so easy when one is younger. If I am to remain with child like traits I hope this also comes within my capabilities.
