Like Guantanamo Bay but Different

So, the Boy is switching his days and nights. I shouldn't be surprised because all the time I was pregnant he was much more active at night than during the day, but now that he's out it's a bit more trying to my patience than when he was IN.

The situation mandates that we spend 4 hours every afternoon over stimulating him to keep him awake so that he'll sleep come 2am rather than fussing. It's like Guantanamo Bay but different. And in all fairness if we were to let him sleep the afternoon away then Burnstopia would still be like Guantanamo Bay but with him as the torturer at 2am and his MAMA as the poor degraded and sleep deprived victim.


The unpleasant situation results in many hours of this kind of face:

Fortunately, his MAMA is more determined than he is...and also the sleep deprivation means that she's somewhat less than sympathetic to his pitiful wails of the injustice of being kept awake all afternoon.

It is like Guantanamo. I completely agree!

1- has Chris been confused and squirted the baby instead of the cat with the water bottle?

2- unlike the cats, the baby can't be left alone at home with a bowl of delicious cream - tried that with joshua and he had milk all over the house by the time we got home
