waking a sleeping baby.

last night, clint had a friend over. our friend from maumelle, derek, drove out to see us. the initial plan was going fishing or gigging. but because the water is up so high, that was not really possible. well, i don't think it was. but i'm not really sure what they did. i guess they were just "boys" out on the river. i know they had fun. i can't wait for the day that clint and pratt can just go out in the boat.

well, by the time they got back...around 8, pratt was fast asleep. we had dinner. watched sweet kris allen soar to the finals on ai, and then derek headed home.

around 930, clint said, "i think i'm gonna wake up pratt. is that okay?"

had this question been asked of me seven months ago...when sleep was worth more than chocolate around here...i would have screamed like jack does on "will and grace". that high pitched...can't make sense of what you're saying...fast talk...scream.

but because pratt is such a good sleeper, i said, "sure."

clint said, "you don't think it will mess up his schedule?"

i'm telling you...i wanted to make out with him in the kitchen. i mean, it was like all i worked so hard for...he got it. he appreciated it. all the reading. all the worry. all of it.

so, we woke him up.

and let me just say this. he is TOTALLY clint's child. he never smiled. he was in a daze the entire 20 minutes we attempted to talk/play/love on him. he was not having it.

so once clint got comfy on the couch, pratt fell fast asleep. again.

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
