The past three mornings have found us wide awake at 6 am because J has decided that that's the time he wants to get up now. He talks for awhile, and then cries if we don't come and get him. If we take way too long getting him out of his crib, he has started this horrible habit of SCREAMING which sounds exactly what I imagine a mountain lion would sound like if they were attacking you. It gives me an instant headache. Since B is in Florida till later this week, and my brother is visiting his fiance at school, I'm single mothering it for a few days. It is exhausting. I have no idea how real single mothers do it. I am not strong enough, that's for sure.
Anyway, this morning he was up at 6, ate a HUGE breakfast and then played till 9. He was starting to get fussy and whiny, so we came upstairs for his nap. Mountain lion screaming began as soon as I put him in his crib. I just hate it when I know he's tired but he just won't admit it to himself. He had been crying and screaming for about 15 minutes when all of a sudden it got very quiet. I gave him a good 5 minutes more and then tiptoed to his door to peek in on him. Stubborn little brat, he was sitting up in his crib, sucking on his pacifier, holding onto yellow blankie- and almost completely asleep! I had to hold my hand over my mouth so I wouldn't laugh out loud as I watched his head bob forward, and then jerk back, bob forward, lean to the side, and then jerk back upright again. Give it up buddy! You are tired! GO TO SLEEP!!!!
