oh the joys...

...of the video monitor. The video monitor is a wonderful invention. It makes it possible for an over-protective-first-time mom to check that her newborn is breathing every ten minutes in the night. But your feelings toward it change as your son gets older. Now I can put Campbell in his bed for a nap and then glance into the video monitor 20 minutes later thinking I will see him sleeping soundly and have one of those touching mom moments where you think to yourself, "What a little angel! I am such a good mom." Well, not today. Today I walk into our bedroom to glance at him, and instead of a sleeping angel, I find a little boy sitting up playing in his bed with no intention of going to sleep. He doesn't understand that we have a doctor's appointment in an hour and if he doesn't sleep he's going to be...well...a lot of fun. anyway, it's now been 30 mintues, dare I glance into the dreaded video monitor again?


This picture is just an idea of how much energy my son has. Your pity is appreciated. I'm just kidding, we have lots of fun.
