Did you know that the combination of Dayquil and coffee can give you a serious buzz? Or maybe that is just me. At any rate, I am high as a kite here. I really feel as though I have a couple margaritas under my belt. Which, while awesome, is making it difficult to concentrate or even have a coherent thought. The latter of which will become apparent shortly.

I probably shouldn’t mention anything, because really, the first rule of parenting is that you NEVER NEVER pat yourself on the back, because then everything inevitably goes horribly wrong and becomes exactly opposite of what you were raving about. You will be jinxed. For example, DON’T EVER SAY “my child is a terrific sleeper” because OMG you will soon feel the pain of being up every hour on the hour with a baby that has decided sleep is for LOSERS and as you slip into the seventh circle of HELL you will RUE THE DAY that you ever said ANYTHING, what were you THINKING.
That being said, I’m just going to quietly and carefully point out a FACT. A fact that I’m not expecting to become routine, indeed it was probably a fluke, but still I enjoyed it and hope to again someday, possibly. Maybe. ANYHOW, Miss T slept all the way through the night last night, she didn’t even need her pacifier at any point. Went down at 7:15ish last night, got up at 6:30 this morning, with only a peep around 1:45 that didn’t require parental intervention. Can I get a HALLELUJAH. Now we shall never speak of this again.

We had a milestone of sorts yesterday – I had to sign Miss T’s very first incident report at daycare. Apparently she was bitten by one of the other babies. Which at first glance seems more disturbing than it really is. While they couldn’t legally tell me who the biter was, I got the impression it was less malicious and more ”your finger got in the way of my shiny new teeth”. Either way, she didn’t seem too worked up about it.

I can’t believe it is already September, I can’t believe this week is almost over already, I can’t believe a week from Monday AE will turn 6 years old. And while we’re on the subject, I can’t believe a brand-new Wii is sitting in my closet awaiting his birthday and both N and myself have managed to resist temptation thus far. I would really love to get that sucker hooked up. My in-laws are getting AE Wii-related accessories to go along with it, I hope that they get him Mario Kart. For his sake of course, not that I am dying to play such a thing. Ahem.
Congrats on the “subject we shall never speak of”!! I can’t wait for the days when Nate goes to bed at 7:15. Now he’s going to bed around 9:30, which isn’t too bad, and gets up only once (usually). Hopefully I can get him to go to bed earlier over the next couple months!
Its scary how much time you can spend playing with the Wii. We got one last summer before we went on our honeymoon. I haven’t spent that much time playing video games since I played MarioKart on Super Nintendo and Super Mario Brothers before that.
My other favorites:
Tennis on Wii sports — I think it comes with the Wii.
Rock band – I love the drums and while I don’t karaoke I like to do the vocals too
I can’t believe next month I turn 30!!
One time I took Day Quil at night. I thought it would be Nyquil without the Ny…wrong, it comes with a buzz of it’s own – I got NO sleep that night.
I have become quite the pro at being a lying liar who lies.
Carol, you’re so old! (Not that I know of anyone who might turn 30 the day after you or anything, ahem.)
Well, I bought Callum Mario Kart for his Wii with absolutely no regard to whether or not he would like it. I just knew that I did and it was NECESSARY. Turns out, he loves it. In fact, he told me last week that he wants to race me and that if we pick our players at 3:29pm, we can race at 3:30. I hated to break it to him that I do not have a Wii and so we couldn’t do the crazy internet-linking-of-the-games-thing that I’m sure is possible. Cute, though.
