I am not hungry


Well, junior is still waking up 5-8 times a night but we did manage to get the crying to subside and that makes a world of difference. We still can't figure out why he's getting up every 60-90 minutes but we've ruled out hunger. First of all this kid has a gut that rivals champions of beer belly contests so he's certainly not starving. And we are the world's greatest parents but after the accusatory nature of nurse know-it-all we feel better now that we've been vindicated. Isn't it just like the medical professional to blame you when they can't figure out what's wrong? I think the MD profession is glorified voodoo. I mean in the last 2,000 years have we really made much progress? Is there a cure for the common cold? How about AIDS? Cancer? It looks like back to the drawing board for us and the doctor. He is now waking up and just hanging out instead of screaming at the top of his lungs for hours on end, and that makes the whole thing tolerable.

This morning he got up at 5 and we tried to pretend it wasn't happening as a family but only the dog was succeeding and actually sleeping so I got up and got to the office early and knocked out some busy work before the day started. It was pouring out so the dog couldn't get his morning walk in so we made a first class breakfast and ate as a family turning our morning lemons into lemonade. Now when 2pm rolls around and the umteenth pot of coffee is on that will be a different story. But until then we are happy.

Just returned from picking Q up from daycare and got scolded because he bit two kids! Oh no! My kid is a bully! I guess that's better then being the one that gets picked on but biting already?!? I hope he doesn't get expelled. I won't even sit here and tell you that other kid deserved it but I'm sure he did something to deserve my mild mannered son unleashing the angry beast within. Hopefully he's just trying out his new chompers and it doesn't mean anything. Speaking of biting, here is a pic of Quentin climbing off the chair on to the dog and ahem, biting him.
