One of the real down parts. Damn, Thomas just wouldn't go to sleep; and of course Daddy has to walk around trying to calm him. Eventually, Mom managed to get him sleepy; but it was a really bad night. The awfulness has been compounded by the lack of a night nurse over this last week. She's off sick. Hopefully that will be sorted this week. I'm really tired.
However, a further up is the form of baby genius James, who not only sleeps through - but even holds his own bottle now. Granted, he doesn't really lift it up, nor do it every time, but he can hold it.
We had Claudia's folks over for a braai today. Robyn and Keith joined us, and all this because Claudia bought a bad piece of meat. She was desperate for steak, and bought a piece of Rump. On the reverse side however, the piece was full of gristle and fat; so she phoned to bitterly complain, and the manager drove in his own car to our house to drop off a replacement steak; twice the size. So we decided that cooking a kilo of meat for two was a bit decadent, and took the opportunity to have a get together.
As we speak, I'm waiting for 11 to feed James, and hopefully make it 11 nights in a row. Holding thumbs.
