So this is how we do it when Dad has not gone to sleep yet. I lay with him on the bed and if you notice the vacuum at the end, it is on. After awhile I will try and turn it off but he wakes up and starts fussing so I turn it back on. He started his colic early tonight, 4 pm, so I am crossing my fingers that it means I will get to bed early too. He is never quite asleep like this. Sometimes his hands wiggle constantly letting me know he is a little more comfortable but not enough to get a good sound sleep in. Poor guy. Do they choose to have colic up in Heaven? I know it is not the worse thing they could have but it sure makes him miserable while he has it and makes it hard to enjoy him when he is screaming all the time. Oh well, I will keep him anyway. He he. I just keep reminding myself that Butterball was worse. He cried all the time and I was the only one that could hold him.
My daughter was super whiney today so I had her lay down for a nap which I normally don't make her have. I also laid down as I was tired from my late night partying with Appleseed and trying to start exercising again. When I got up she came running into my room to show me what she had done. Instead of napping she had cleaned the bathroom (it was cute how she thought it was clean), and she really did put her best effort into cleaning our large mirror in there. She had folded the laundry that was on the couch and stacked it in the hallway like I do. And she had cleaned up her room for me which meant everything on the bed and in the closet. It was so sweet of her to do all this and I loved it. She is the best!
My kids love to help. Especially dishes. As you can see there is no room for me to step in there and do them too but I decided to just let it go tonight. I was kind of grossed out at the condition of some of the dishes that got put in the rack but I thought it was super cute and nice of them to want to do them. They argued non stop about who was going to use what to clean them or whose turn it was to rinse but it was cute.
