I don’t get it.
January 5, 2008
Aiden had managed to once again weasel his way into our bed tonight, when he suddenly woke up crying. Since I just nursed him an hour before, I wasn’t about to offer my services as the resident cow… there was no way he should be hungry.
So, I picked him up and tried to comfort him by walking around and singing softly in his ear. And he cried. And screamed. And was generally mean to his mama, who was trying her damn best to soothe this cranky child.
Finally, I admit, I had it. I couldn’t get him to calm down and the crying was getting to me. I decided to put him down in his crib and let him cry there for a few minutes while I took a breather. And whaddya know? Within two minutes he had soothed himself and fell asleep. Huh? Sometimes the kid really confuses me. But I’ll take it!

In other news… American Gladiators is back! Remember this show from way back when? I confess, I’ll be watching. (But, damn, when will this writer’s strike end? This is getting crazy).
P.S. Check out Hellga. This is one gladiator biatch that I wouldn’t want to mess with. She’d kick my ass from here to Sunday, but I love her name. Hehheh.

If you can do the “lay him down and take a break” thing, it is wonderful. We set a limit for ourselves and stick to it (”we’re not going in for 5 minutes”). Sometimes it’s hard, but we have a video monitor. I feel like I’ve mentioned that a million times. And it’s not like I’m sleeping or relaxed while he’s in there crying. But sometimes you just don’t know what else to do, and it works!

I admit it, I watched American Gladiators last night. My 8-year daughter is totally into it. I’m just waiting for her to leap off the couch and attack me.
