Breaking News: Bolt is Back!

This will be a very quick little post to thank our dear friend Patrick for sending Bolt back into our lives. He arrived today, and is sleeping peacefully at the foot of Lex's bed with his other dear friends (Chew, the Wookiee, Hannibal, the Sheep and Richard Parker, the Tiger). Sad to say that Ace, the little black Lab, was once again voted off the bed and exiled to the table with the books and other superheros. We don't know why this happened, but Lex made the case off just before turning in. Otherwise we had a peacefully night, with not too many tears.

So, once again thank you Patrick and the kind soul that found Bolt and knew enough that it was apart of Mad Dog's litter! Bolt, we're glad to have you back.

Why Can't Weeeeeeeeeeee......

Today has been one of those days where the sound of Miss G's voice goes to the spot at the back of my neck and makes my eye twitch. I have no idea what she ate today that make her go from zero to sixty in 1.3 seconds, but whatever it was should be destroyed. I don't think she has stopped talking all day and each answer I give her to one of her questions results in another question which is more annoying then the first. I have taken to answering back with my silver tongue because at least it makes me feel like I'm not taking complete attitude from her. Being six going on 18 isn't something I enjoy especially when the 18 year old can't pour herself a glass of juice. If I didn't know any better I would say she uses a "blonde"-card at least 5 times a day. Stuff she completely is capable of doing becomes completely new in a matter of seconds - she wants it done for her and doesn't want to do it herself.

Mad Dog was a saint and took her to Potter Pandemonium this evening at BN might be the only thing that saved her and me from having a melt down on each other. They're back now and we're 15 minutes from starting bedtime. Sadly that means it should be about 2 hours and 15 calls for "Daddy" before it is peaceful in the house tonight.

Bedtime Routine: Night 2

Mad Dog & I are trying to get Little Man on a bedtime routine. We stared last night and it seems to be going fairly well. Tomorrow night will honestly be the big test, where we have to leave him to cry if it comes to that. He slept tonight from 6:30 PM to 10:15 PM before waking for hi next bottle. I manage to change him in the dark and stay quiet like it is suggested, but going back to bed didn't go as planned this evening. He's in my lap cuddling with me. This evening was just to reinforce the routine set up last night. As for now I'll enjoy my cuddling.
