Rockin Saturday Night

Oh how things change - case in point, our Saturday nights.

Two years ago, we'd likely be out with friends starting with dinner reservations between 9 and 10. Followed by drinks, out until 2 (or occasionally later) in the evening.

Last night wasn't exactly that model. Here's how the night unfolded:
  • 6:00 - small feed for Jack and then bathtime.
  • 6:15 - Justin starts cooking dinner (wow, eating at home rather than ordering!)
  • 6:45 - rocking Jack to go to sleep
  • 7:30 - Jack down
  • 7:40 - Justin and I sit down for dinner - I think this is great, I could be asleep by 9 pm!
  • 7:55 - Jack starts to whimper. Justin goes to calm him, I start to clean up.
  • 8:00 - Justin realizes that Jack is hungry as his cries increase. We hand off tasks.
  • 8:02 - Jack's crying. Mel (our orange tabby cat) pukes on the rug next to the dining table.
  • 8:50 - finish dinner and cleaning once the chaos clears!
Sweet. Not exactly your rockin NYC Saturday night!

Don't worry, I'm not posting pictures.

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
