Oops – another one of those “ought to have published back in January when we first wrote the thing” kind of posts.  Sorry about that – completely forgot about it…

=============================================

With our schedule in ruins, so, too, have the boys relapsed a bit in some of their behavior.  We all fought valiantly for nearly a month to help teach Dex to go to sleep without screaming at us, and then he goes and gets sick, and starts screaming, and choking on his Phlegm, and probably some Phloem, too, so we go pick him up and rock him to sleep.  Bugger.  And so we set the pattern.  In order for Dex to sleep, we have to hang out with him.  Sometimes just sitting in his room while he goes to sleep, sometimes rocking him.  In this case, we laid down together on our bed, until he went to sleep.  Once he finally did, I could just-barely extract and arm and stand up, and here’s what I left behind.

I promise we didn’t leave him there.  We were back up stairs before the second bounce…
