Mommy the Grouch

I have a feeling that's going to be me today as I have been up since 4:30 a.m. Let's just say Easton's sleeping today didn't go as well as yesterday. But I knew not to get my hopes up as that's how my child always is: unpredictable. Anyway, at 4:30 he started whining. I let him whine for 15 minutes before I went in, apparently the paci had hit the floor. So I gave it to him and went back to bed. He whined for 15 more minutes so at 5 I went and rocked him. He signed, "milk?" but I just told him, "Shhh, night-night" and he put his head back on my shoulder. He cried for a sec when I laid him down again but he was quiet after that for, like, 25 minutes. Just as I was about to fall back asleep myself I hear from him again. And again. So I just got up. He's still in there and has been quiet for 35 whole minutes now. Grrrr.

I went into our bedroom as Jason was waking up this morning and he asked, "Were you able to go back to sleep after Easton was stirring?" He immediately regretted using the word "stirring" as from the look on my face or something that is clearly not how I thought things went. I know Easton is teething so it makes it hard to expect him to fly completely solo. He's always been a pretty easy teether so I'm not sure if he's waking for that or for other reasons. Sometimes I really wish he could tell me.

I wonder if there's such a thing as post-weaning hormonal surges. Like post-partum. I'm telling you, I'm in such a sensitive mood these last few days. People should be afraid to be around me ha ha ha. Yikes!

Well, yesterday with John went just fine. Easton even took a 3 hour nap! John showed up in a Colorado Rockies outfit so I dressed Easton in one too and then I took a ton of pictures of the boys.

I know that one is in the album, I just really like it.

Eastie giving John a coaster hat.

An of course, a self-portrait of me with my hands full. Well, John will be back today. I always feel like it should be Friday after my second day with John. I don't know why. We are getting Chick-fil-a tonight. I'm glad I won't have to cook tonight in my sure-to-be-grouchy mood.
