But reading it again brought that night back and I remembered you coming back from Dairy Queen with that big smile on your face because he'd been so cute.Wifey Maynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-60087206402360372902011-07-13T16:29:48.044-06:002011-07-13T16:29:48.044-06:00Candice: The funny thing was he wasn't fightin...Candice: The funny thing was he wasn't fighting anything. He wasn't tired. Last night was more normal. He was tired and he cried about it for about an hour until he fell asleep.<br /><br />And I don't know where he keeps his stash or I'd be offering goofballs to everyone.<br /><br />Vicki: Xander wakes up if you move him at all. That's the worst part.<br /><br />Chanel: He's usually pretty routine. Maybe you're right and he's planning a sneak attack.<br /><br />Jolene: It is fun to watch him become more observant. Just, why does he have to do it at night?<br /><br />Pearson: Yeah, I hope this didn't come across like I was complaining. He is a pretty easy child, all things considered. I'd rather stay up with him happy than screaming.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping in.<br /><br />darev: We just got a fancy new dryer. It's a pretty sleek, quiet machine. I don't know if putting him on top would do anything. Now, putting him inside...that might work... :)<br /><br />Bryan: I've said this before, I know, but the car works to put him to sleep until we stop and get out of the car. Anytime he's moved, he wakes up. Annoying. <br /><br />Scott: They do it on purpose, too. I know it.<br /><br />Nicki: Awesome. Thanks for the recognition. I must have known it back in 1983 when I spent so much time memorizing Culture Club songs that it'd come in handy one day. (Of course, it only works for eating peas; it didn't work as a lullaby. I'll try again some time to see if it works.)Brent Wescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313269993916969201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-77646276337379898032011-07-13T14:27:58.312-06:002011-07-13T14:27:58.312-06:00How is it that no other commenters have commented ...How is it that no other commenters have commented on your use of BOY GEORGE as a lullaby technique?

In bed with the wife and I, laughing and poking me in the nipple saying; "BEEP!" then laughing. Insulted and kept awake.

Fools them into thinking they are in the car. Just remember! On TOP of the dryer! On Top. The other way doesn't work worth a bean.JustRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389126268262607714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-27132748093057023462011-07-11T23:38:10.333-06:002011-07-11T23:38:10.333-06:00First off, YES...you do have a cute kid!

I'm dubbing him the Heartbreaker Kid - look out all you parents with wee little girls, this little guy is going to steal their hearts.<br /><br />As to the "staying up and partying with the uber tired parents" I cracked up, my girl (24 yrs old now) was just like yours - big smile, no fussing, easy as pie, but sometimes she just did not want to go to bed! <br /><br />Ah, the joys...and there is plenty of that when you have a happy little tyke like yours!<br /><br />Cheers, Jenny<br />I'm adding myself as a Follower so I can check in on how your doing in the parenting department!

Only if we resorted to the car ride, she stayed in her car seat (beside our bed, so I could rock it if necessary).Vicki Rochohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381089434014961076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-37559985033649647652011-07-11T15:30:29.910-06:002011-07-11T15:30:29.910-06:00Awww...How could you resist those big, bright eyes...Awww...How could you resist those big, bright eyes? I'm sorry you had such a long night. Sometimes those babies just don't want to go to sleep, and they'll fight off the sandman like the devil himself. <br /><br />Here's hoping that Xander's long, late night will catch up with him and that he'll go to bed nice and easy for you tonight. :)<br /><br />PS: Does Xander have any of those Goofballs left? I could use a few of them every now and then...Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845151308757943750noreply@blogger.com
