Wednesday

Last night/this morning was brutal.  You know that something's out of whack when your  2 1/2 month old sleeps better than your 4 year old.  For some reason, Bode was up all night.  It started at 1:32 AM.   He busted into our bedroom, crying loudly. I hopped out of bed and pushed escorted him out  of the bedroom quickly (for fear Nico was going to wake).  The thing about Bode is, he never does anything quietly. The tears and cries are at top volume, so it makes everything seem much more dramatic than it is (especially at 1:30 AM). Then he was up and down for the rest of the morning.  It seemed like we would fall asleep, and Bode would be back, busting through the doorway, loudly announcing something. RWF would hop out of bed and take Bode out of the room.  It was like that movie Groundhog Day, only worse. RWF took the brunt of it, because I was usually crashed out after feeding Nico.  I would wake when I heard Bode, but I'd still be asleep (if that makes sense) so his waking me was more like a recurring dream. No idea why Bode was up. He wouldn't say and there was no apparent cause.  

This little guy is almost 3 months old.  It is so hard to believe.  This morning I was kissing him, thinking about how fast it is going, and wiping away my tears.  He is just so sweet.  I'm really enjoying the baby-ness of him right now and don't want it to end.

I sometimes have to worry about Gianna, and the effect the baby has on her.  The other night, she accidentally/on-purpose dropped 2 hard cover books on Nico's head.  I was changing Nico, and cooing at him/kissing him/feeling his soft little feet. Gianna kept saying, "Read dis. Read DIS. Read dis, Mommy!" and I kept saying, "Okay, I will..."  Well apparently I took too long with Nico for her liking.  She walked over and dropped the books on Nico's head.  She looked at me, full of attitude, like, "I said, READ DIS...." I looked at Nico. Nico looked at me all surprised and hurt, like, "Why did you do that to me?! I thought you loved me!" and then immediately burst into tears and crying. I felt so terrible.  I yelled at Gianna.  Gianna and Bode both started crying. And RWF came running into the room.  Drama!

Happy Wednesday.
