That’s pretty much life – and parenthood, huh?<\/p>\n
Last night went much better again. Alex didn’t eat very much cereal, and he cried a good bit when I put him in his crib. So I was a little concerned that we might have a bad night. They were supposed to eat about 10, and he started crying at 9:20. He cried on and off until about 9:50 when a particularly loud wail scared Erin awake. So I fed him while Eric comforted Erin. Then I fed her, and we all went to bed. <\/p>\n
But then things got better. There was some crying (10 minutes each…not at the same time) during the 1:00 hour, but everyone managed to soothe themselves. And they slept until 3:00. Then again until 7:00 with no crying at all. And both are asleep right now (though I expect to hear from them soon). <\/p>\n
So all in all, I got almost 9 hours of sleep last night…and in multi-hour blocks! WooHoo!<\/p>\n
In another new adventure, Alex took a 2.5 hour nap in his crib<\/span>. This NEVER happens. Ever. I have no idea why, so I’m just taking it as a good thing and moving on. <\/p>\n And finally, it’s a beautiful, sunny, warm day for the first time all week. *Happy sigh*<\/p>\n Today, I’m heading to C-ville and Springfield to see people and hang out with my parents for a bit. Eric is having dinner with his brother at Thurman Cafe. They are intending to enjoy this monstrosity of a burger<\/a>. Yikes!<\/p>\n Okay, that’s all I have for today. So happy Thursday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" That’s pretty much life – and parenthood, huh? Last night went much better again.
