Wild Nights

We have always been fortunate because Stephen is a great sleeper - he rarely wakes up during his 12 hour nights. . . but every now and again (just when I start to gloat) he has a wild night like last night ...

8:00 pm - Stephen goes to bed.

10:30 pm - Scott and I go to bed - (this is early for me)

11:21 pm - Something wakes me up - after a while I realize that it is Steve's Lights and Sound Aquarium playing full blast. (You have to know that his room is in the absolute opposite end of the house, but the sound carries!)

11:23 pm - I am trying to ignore the music - it will shut off soon - but I am also wondering why Steve turned it on?

11:24 pm - I am awake fully now and go down to check - Stephen is fast asleep under the aquarium with full sound and lights flashing. I turn off the aquarium (with the grown-up button) and go back to bed.

12:07 am - Stephen is crying now - he does this occasionally for about 15 seconds and then goes back to sleep, but this time I am not so lucky - he is not going back to sleep.

12:15 am - Ok he is really not going back to sleep so I go and check on him. I give him a drink and some Tylanol (he is teething) and check the diaper. All very standard procedure. Finally, I take him to sit in the rocking chair for a while. He is very content and as he starts to relax, some toots start coming. Of course - I should have known!

12:25 - I put Stephen back in bed. (He must feel better now). After 5 minutes of fussing he is back asleep.

12:27 pm - Aaahhh, now I can go to sleep finally!

12:28 pm - Scott starts snoring and something is dripping in the bathroom. . .

12:30 pm - Put ear plug in one ear...thats all I remember.

So the question still on everyone's mind is "Why did Steve turn on the music?" I don't think we will ever know...

By the way, these pictures were from a different wild night. I am not entirely sure how he got his arm through the neck hole, but this is how he was when I got him out of his crib. Also, you can't see it in the picture, but one leg was up inside the pajamas.
