Parenting


There are a few rules that the baby has to follow and one of them is sleeping at 8:00 p.m. but we had pacifier-crises last night! The baby is not allowed to have her pacifier anywhere but in the bed. The baby's one and only pacifier was out of sight and her dad decided to go and buy the-baby's-exact-pacifier. He spent some $18 on it but she rejected it and refused to sleep. Around 11:30 I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and decided to retire to bed. As I walked up the stairs I heard my husband's voice pleading: Don't leave me with the baby, pleaszzz ... the little girl was running around the house and didn't seem to be sleepy... 

It was a difficult-night at parenting a baby and one to remember for years to come.
