My husband and my son are both currently sleeping so I have a moment to write. My son is in my bed. Apparently I lost our 5 AM crib battle. It was close - 20 minutes of nursing, then he babbled and soothed himself happily in his crib for about 25 minutes before growing frustrated and demanding that I take him to bed with me. Not to worry, I am sure I will get another opportunity to help him sleep through the night in his crib EARLY tomorrow morning. My husband is in the guest bedroom (snicker) – it looks like he lost too (double snicker), but actually, no, he is sick today. There are a thousand jokes (or more) about the differences in how men and women deal with illness so I won’t even go there. My husband does like to be babied when he is sick, but who doesn’t? I do think it was sweet that he went to the guest bedroom all by himself last night without even waking me when he realized that he might be getting really sick and contagious. I say that with absolute sincerity considering that we have a window unit air conditioner in our bedroom (tacky - yes - I know) that is used during the summer months to supplement our central air conditioner (indulgent - yes - I know) when it gets particularly hot outside (like every night in June - late September). So while the rest of Texas boils our bedroom stays icebox cold. For this, I don’t mind being either tacky or indulgent. Anyway, I think today will be interesting. I have never cared for two babies at once before…. At least one of them is potty trained.
