Stubborn Baby

W is a stubborn baby. Last week he gained the ability to crawl all over, and shortly before that he gained the ability to sit up right (from a laying-down position). So, now when he gets put to bed, he can rebel and sit up right. We'd let him cry for a bit, and then return him to a sleeping position. He'd sit right up again (more crying). We played this "game" for a few cycles before the crying stopped.

Was he finally asleep?? Yes. Was he lying down? No.

Feeling Like a Run

I was feeling like a run this morning (which is a strange feeling, indeed!) so I walked down to the trail and accomplished my best run yet, specifically in terms of contiguous running (without dropping into a walk), and overall completion time. It was the usual 3.3 mile run. I'm looking forward to longer runs, because the untapped sections of the trail send to be much flatter and better maintained.

I Like My Current Size

K told me this evening, in so many words (I'm paraphrasing here), that he'd rather be small ("I like my current size") than have to eat. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he is going to get his wish. S and the kids are out thrift store shopping because none of K's shoes fit any longer. Then over to the library and probably a park afterwards.

Quote of the Day

QOTD (quote of the day) from A this morning, while we were talking about how he went to sleep quickly last night and stayed in bed all night:

My eyes were begging me to wake up this morning.

I still owe A some chocolate chips for his staying in bed until it was time to get up.
