You can see by the time stamp that it's late. I just finished dinner. In the end, my puttanesca suuuuucked. Ah well. Adam got to play football/soccer tonight so I was going to put B down and then cook a grown up dinner. Mmmm, extra anchovies! But Bennett? I can't put him to sleep anymore. If I am anywhere near him at bedtime he *freaks out* about boo-boos. As part of my nightweaning process I stopped nursing him to sleep, but I broke it tonight and nursed him down. But I got halfway to the door and he woke up in frantic tears: "Boo-boo? GONE?" And if he gets to 'boo-boo touch' then he really just stays awake playing with it. How am I going to put him to bed when Adam is gone for two whole weeks in July??

Naps? Out in 3 minutes. 15 if it's me. We have a pattern and stick to it. But holy smoke, we have a kid that just. does. not. want to fall asleep alone (so we've stopped trying) or miss a single a moment of life with us. Bless him.

This too shall pass. And I'm sure at some point I'll miss these days of eternal snuggles and desire for no one but us.

Boo. I hate it when dinner plans go awry. But you're right, it will pass - and then you'll only remember the loveliness, not the frustration.

I've never eaten puttanesca!

Mmmmm.... the recipes here don't call for anchovies, just garlic, capers and olives. But it needs anchovies. Mmmmmm..... anchovies.
