Waking the Beast (December 16, 2009)

-


Well, Finn is still sick. I thought we he was about to turn the corner but he woke up feeling terrible again this morning. So what did we do . . . we rocked . . . all day. Even though rocking is fun, it can get very tiresome. Every so often I would try to put him down, but he would give me the saddest expression and start crying. I couldn't bare it so I picked him back up again and we would go back to the rocker for another round. I did manage to put him in his play gym for about 10 minutes. During that time I prepared pineapple casserole. I have never prepared pineapple casserole so quickly in my life.

For the past few days Finn's has not slept very well. When I am successful at getting him to take a nap he will only sleep for a few minutes at a time. He wakes up every time I either walk by him or he hears any noise whatsoever. So during the day I tip toe around the house trying not to wake the beast. Once I even tried to hide from him. I noticed that he was waking up so I hid on the couch under a blanket. He isn't quite astute enough yet to realize that the huge lump on the couch is his Mama. Luckily, my little act of trickery worked. He didn't see me so we went back to sleep!

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
