The Big Reveal

Right. Kids, balance, delicate, yadda yadda yadda.

The mystery is much less mysterious now.

Over the weekend (probably Sunday), we had company in the evening. Specifically, we had company while I was putting Sam down -- note: this is important foreshadowing. To be polite, and to allow us our privacy, somebody turned off the volume on Sam's monitor. It wasn't turned off -- the power light was still on -- but the volume was totally off.

Can anybody see where this is going?

When I finally heard him, he was almost hysterical. He may have been crying for upwards of 4 minutes. We finally got him settled after about half an hour of soothing. Somehow, that's translated into a reluctance to go to sleep and some severe mistrust about us showing up if he cries. Who could have guessed?

*sigh* It's times like this when I really wish he was more logical. "Yes, I took a long time to get here. Once. In 2 years. And for technical reasons that have been rectified. You're good now, right?" Wrong.

This too shall pass, this too shall pass... (Bright side: Joey slept really well last night, and Sam, though up a couple of times, went back to sleep easily and didn't climb out of bed. Tonight shall be better still!)
