I'm tired. I actually was able to take a little 30 minute nap today, but I feel tired now and it's 8:00 p.m., which means our nighttime duty has officially begun.

Today Caleb threw a huge fit...he screamed louder and longer than ever. We weren't at home so I didn't have my ball to bounce on...we were in the car while Dave ran in to Office Depot. I'm sure it didn't take longer than 10-15 minutes but it felt like an eternity. Once the car started going again, though, he calmed down. Dave took him once we got home and they took a little half an hour nap together. Whew.

I get all worried as night time approaches wondering what the night will have in store for us. And I'm trying to push out of my mind that Dave will start work again on Monday...and it's already Thursday...dang. I know he's worried too.

Well, praying for the best tonight...preparing for the worst. Better to expect it than to be caught unaware...

I wrapped Allie TIGHT.

Not "BE QUIET YOU TINY SCREAMING BALL OF ANGER!" tight, but more like, "You're not getting out of this so you might as well give up trying," tight.

If I couln't wrap her, I'd just hold her arms to her chest until I could.

She'd look at me like, "WTF?" But once she figured out that fighting wasn't getting her anywhere, she relaxed pretty quickly.

I'm certainly NOT an expert, but it worked for us. But then Caleb sounds a lot stronger than Allie was at that age...
