We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

"THEY ARE BRITISH LESBIANS! BWAHAHAHA!"

Fay -- that man is just AMAZING.

What I want to know now, is his asshatted behavior considered unusual among Egyptians or is it culturally okay to say that sort of thing in Egypt?

Was this some sort of bizarre teacher roast?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Please, Goddess and moms...why isn't Em sleeping through anymore? Why does she wake anywhere from 12-3 am and want to play??

So the cable guy actually came in the first half-hour of his two-hour window! Though to keep up the cable-guy tradition, he buzzed just as I'd gone into the bathroom. But he fixed the cable! Then he teted it on some soap operas. But then he left it on a movie that I identified in 20 seconds as being Satisfaction! Early (1988!) Julia Roberts as a supporting cast member, starring Justine Bateman, with Liam Neeson as broken-down older man music industry veteran.

What is even happening?

Aimee, what do you do with her (other than make faces behind her back) when she wakes? Do you think you're doing anything she could construe as a reward for waking, then?

Also--is she teething? Do you dope her up before she goes to sleep (with baby Tylenol or orajel, or something)?

When she wakes, we try to put her back down in her crib, but then she gets back up again screaming. So, we end up bringing her to bed with us in the hopes that she falls asleep again so we can put her back in her crib. This isn't working anymore. Now, she wants to play. Sometimes a bottle gets her to sleep. Sometimes, it doesn't.

Letting her cry it out would be ideal, but when she's in our room, it's hard.

Also, we've been getting her on a bedtime routine so she knows when it's bedtime and it was going well and it went to shit when she was sick.

I have no advice on baby sleep. I prayed to the magic sleep fairies for 18 months before I got some relief, and I'm still up at 3 am several nights a week. You wanna talk about bad mommies...

Okay, I do have a piece of advice. Ear plugs.

Aimee, are you keeping track of how long you wait from when she wakes up until you go and fetch her? We're following the "wait 5 minutes to see if she settles" rule, and it seems to work fairly well. If she's going to settle, it will happen in those 5 minutes, and if it doesn't, we're doomed.
