Snippets

- Got a cold, eventually shared it with Crime Fighter and eventually purple_terror.
+ Attended barodar's wedding, had a great time
- Kidlet ran out of cope half way back from Mosaic and serenaded the kind ride-giving childless friends with inconsolable howls. 
+ Celebrated Father's Day with QE: a picnic at Spy Pond Park with entrope and family
- Lost my bike helmet... or it was stolen off my porch
+ QE's letting me borrow his for today. My head felt so unpleasantly exposed without one yesterday.
+ Boss is back from 2 week cruise. We can revisit the stuff put on hold since last month because we weren't going to deal with it pre-vacation.
+ Got to attend mangosteen's Backbar extravaganza like a real adult last night and was able to buy doeeyedbunny the promised drink in thanks and apology for the ride with screamy baby. 
-Teething, congested baby had a wholly off night and would not settle or sleep after his final feed of the evening. There was snuggling and nursing, but he was just not convinced this "Sleep in my own bed" plan was the right and true path. 
- None of us really fell asleep before midnight but the usual routine of up at 5 was still on course. I'm more than slightly groggy.

The sleeping thing.

Dash is correct, sleeping in their own bed is often not the true and right path. I found having the child in my bed made a difference between mama getting enough sleep to function at work or not. In other words, I got more sleep/rest if the kid slept with me.

OTOH, I have parent friends who could never actually sleep with a kid in their bed. It's all a matter of what works for each parent/child combination.

As in all things, I take the via media.

For a while, this was true- slept better with him in our bed. However, he started to be a very restless sleeper. Our bed is also so high off the ground, that I don't know if I trust myself to fall deeply asleep. I know I'd wake to a horrible thump.

But really, this is a very unusual occurrence. He's been pretty good about sleeping in his own bed for... months! I don't think last night is an indication of a new normal. But thanks :)

Sorry babe

Sick babies are tough to manage under any circumstances.

Poor screamy baby and cold-y adults. :(

Yeah. It's heart-rending for his fan-club to see him in that state. But mostly, he objects with his inside voice.
