Elliot has a burn on his arm from a kitchen incident the other day and he hasn't really been eating during the day--so i am not too sure what his main reason is for being up at 3am, but hunger and pain both seemed like plausible reasons to me to be up....so here is my question:
Chris is up at 3:30AM for the olympic field hockey game--he gets elliot up for awhile with him, feeds him, chills out with him, puts him back to bed all taken care of.....but Elliot totally screams for a long time (my guess at this point is that he started to watch the olympics and he's ticked he can't continue)...long enough for me to come charging out of my room saying (uncharacteristically btw:) "what the HELL?!?!" (don't wake mama bear, and if you do, don't keep her up for that long screaming in the middle of the night!!!) .. its at that time, that i hear him quickly get up and meet me at the door i am about to crash through and say 'i'll take him'....and i'm thinking '20 minutes ago would have been good'....so, 4:37am, and i am awake (brownies for mugup at camp last night didn't help)...but the question is 'men tend to ignore screaming kids when something of interest is going on for them....why can't i do that?'
