Note to self

5 hour nap before bedtime is not a good idea. But I can't just go around waking him up in an obvious way, I have to try things to get him to wake up on his own or he just starts screaming until he falls back to sleep--never wake a sleeping baby, indeed. Obviously we need to regulate some naptimes, but he wants to have a different schedule every day. Sometimes he falls back to sleep right after he gets his breakfast. Other times he waits until lunch. Sometimes, like today, he won't have much of a naptime except for the 1/2 hours I'm holding him after feeding him--nice because he isn't trying to wiggle around and escape while I'm holding him upright, but dang it's tiring. I'm going to have the biceps of a professional weightlifter soon. It's not helping anything that we ran out of his medicine (we forgot to bring it on the roadtrip and he was fine, then when we started it up again during the week he repeated his original reaction to it (i.e. crying a lot and spitting up a lot for 3-4 days), and then we ran out with no refills. So we thought we'd see how he does without it, because the sooner we can get him off it the better. So he hasn't been taking it since Monday I think, and already he's doing the painful-spitup-in-my-mouth dance. Guess I have to call the pediatrician's office and see if I can get them to renew the prescription without having to go back in. Though it would be nice to see how much he weighs now, otherwise we'll have to wait until his four month birthday in July. It's not like I have anything better to do, after all. Oh, except wait for the dang kid to go to bed because I'm exhausted and Damian's exhausted, and which one of us just finished staying up late to work on his final project for his class. Bummer for me. Maybe this weekend we can take turns sleeping...
