The Rest of the Story

Well, we’re headed to Chuck E. Cheese’s tomorrow. David made it through his first night not wearing a pull-up, and woke up dry as a bone.

David’s very excited. I’m dreading it a little bit. Joann Fabric is right next door. Wade and I just may leave David and Daddie behind, and wander over there for a while.

It’s the noise mostly that bothers me.

The loud music. The children screaming to be heard over the loud music. The other children screaming to be heard over the children screaming to be heard over the music.

I guess I’m getting old and crotchety.

But I am a little less cranky, because Wade had a much better night last night.

And so did I.

He he laid down at 7 p.m., still woke up at 4 a.m., but I got him back to sleep in less than 20 minutes without feeding him. He slept until 7 after that. I hope this is the beginning of many more good nights.

Wade started teething the last couple days too which might have a bit to do with him not sleeping so well. I can definitely feel the sharp point of a tooth on the bottom poking through, and there are two more just peeking through on the top. But he isn’t very fussy over it. He just had a little episode yesterday afternoon, and Tylenol seemed to take care of it.

Wade is down for the night now, and I stuffed him full of cereal again.

Now, I’m gonna go see if I can find some ear plugs to take with me to Chuck E. Cheese’s tomorrow.
