| | 12:28 am--sleep stops at the sound of a high pitched toddler scream
12:35 am--the screaming continues, and there is a blurry, monotone
discussion about what to do
12:36 am--decide to let her cry herself back to sleep
12:46 am--decide to pick her up after she cleverly screams "mommy"
instead of just, well, a scream
12:47 am--baby #2 decides to join in the midnight opera just as baby #1
gets settled in mommy's bed
1:20 am--both babies are taken back to their cribs by mommy and daddy
1:22 am--baby #1 starts up again. this time we WILL let her cry herself to sleep.
1:45 am--back in mommy's bed
2:30 am--daddy goes to sleep on the couch because 23 pound baby is hogging the bed
2:35 am--mommy puts baby back in her crib cause it just ain't right for
daddy to have to sleep on the couch
3:30 am--baby #1 is up again, this time even madder than before
3:35 am--mommy curls into the fetal position and imagines throwing baby
#1 out the window
3:36 am--mommy prays for advise and wisdom from the Lord about what do
to with a strong-willed screamer. she hears nothing in reply.
3:45 am--mommy goes to get baby #1 who has thrown her beloved pacifier
out of her crib. after picking it up, the pair head off to the
guest bedroom
3:46 am--baby #1 sleeps soundly next to a guilt-ridden mommy who
whispers "i love you and promise to never throw
you out the window"
