The baby was in his jumper thing and started to cry. My friend asked her then 6 year old to try to play with him so he wouldn't cry. We heard him still crying and my friend asked he daughter what was wrong. Her little girl poked her head in the kitchen and said, "Mom, he wants the BOOB". Holy crap, did I laugh at that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-19402120497637716602009-10-13T22:33:42.668-04:002009-10-13T22:33:42.668-04:00We were talking about this this weekend at my niec...We were talking about this this weekend at my nieces' christening, babies not wanting to sleep. Apparently, staying awake or going to sleep is the one thing babies can control and by going to sleep they're giving up control. That's why they fight it so hard. <br /><br />Another thing he once told me is he was afraid his older daughter's first word would be, "The light it green IDIOT!"<br /><br />Sounds like you two are figuring it all out. And don't worry, in a little less than 20 or so years it'll all be behind you.FoggyDewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934197854661226301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-45411933502096446062009-10-13T20:48:32.007-04:002009-10-13T20:48:32.007-04:00couple thoughts on this one

I get the occassional "why'd you say jesus fucking crist?" "because that guy cut me off." "oh."<br /><br />b) sing loud and embarrassingly proud. I hate singing, am terrible and am sure i'm as self conscious as you. But if my kid is crying on a plane, i'll loudly make up words to "what a wonderful world" in record time. actually, as the sleep pirate gets older, making up words to songs will become your greatest skill and asset. he'll likely call you the greatest mommy ever if you can do it quicklky and successfully.<br /><br />you're doing great. i've been keeping up. it's hard and frustrating and challenging and outside your world and you're doing it.<br /><br />hang in there!!<br /><br />CarrieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-79004859173801747912009-10-13T19:13:40.385-04:002009-10-13T19:13:40.385-04:00love it! i often make up the lyrics too.

Works for me! Yep...I fell fast asleep reading this. Works for me! Yep, you are the adult in the situation. I still have to remind myself of that. And like you, I never really have felt like an adult, so it's made the job of parenting a bit harder then some have it. But, you'll get wiser, stronger, tougher. Of course, so will he, but not for a few years.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-53956910298140931262009-10-13T13:08:50.972-04:002009-10-13T13:08:50.972-04:00I love, LOVE your lullabye.

It's probably weird, a precursor to later teenage days when you can say to him, I KNOW what's best for you, damnit! I REALLY do!Sarah https://www.blogger.com/profile/13693577464343562106noreply@blogger.com
