Monkey House

Drove Mama Monkey to work.

Once again, he fell asleep before I even got home.

Napped for about an hour and a half in the car. I slept lightly (but at least I slept) because I was alternating between turning the car on and off (warmth vs. gas wastage).

From 10:45 or so until 12:40 we did various things. I had some food. He had some exersaucer, jolly jumper, and mat time. Plus he drank a LOT of milk, which took up some time. He wasn’t the happiest I’ve ever seen him, but he was OK. We had a few tickles and giggles. Now, he was “due” for a nap at around that time, but since he’s been fighting the 2 hr interval, I decided to get out for a quick little trip, and hopefully he would be tired by the end of it.

(But since she’s dealing with it rather than me, I’m managing this time around. )

I gotta figure something out. I did indeed try both of yesterday’s ideas, neither of which was great. The swing helped to the extent that it calmed him down, but Read the rest of this entry »

Christmas present finally arrived. Only 3 weeks late (that’s a dig at the person who said it would arrive by Christmas, not to my beautiful wife who bought it for me).

Thanks babe!

To those who tune in every day, sorry about the lack of a post waiting for you this morning. I almost blacked out of tiredness last night so I decided to go to bed early for a change. Yay, me!

Day 7

As predicted, it was a day of car naps. Not all intentionally, mind you. Regardless, it was my most uneventful day so far:

I wasn’t there for this, but legend tells…

Poo escaped the diaper (cloth), smeared up the cover (nylon/poly), got on his clothing, as well as his foot. Poo also got on one of his aunts.

Poo is funny.

But I wasn’t there for it, because I was napping.

Car Naps

Daytime sleep sucked again. Read the rest of this entry »
