Sleepless Sunday Selfie

This guy. 

Mr Saunchy woke up out of the blue at 10pm tonight. This is very unlike him as he's normally a pretty great sleeper. He was inconsolable until I picked him up and brought him upstairs with me. Sneaky trick. The kid is all smiles now, giggly, and has been sitting happily in my lap for almost 2 hours with no sign of wanting to go back to bed anytime soon. It's midnight. 

He is totally still, and as long as I don't bring up the topic of going to bed, he is content all snuggled up right here with me here on the sofa, like a big kid. Where was mr silent, still, and snuggly during sacrament meeting today? Every time we went in the chapel he pointed up at Aaron and shouted, "hey Daddy! My daddy! I want daddy, Dad-deeeeeee!" Until we were back in the hall again. Unable to keep up with him running around and unable to keep carrying him, I finally took us into the mother's lounge (which was luckily empty) and parked myself in a chair in front of the door. He literally ran laps around the tiny room like a puppy that had been released from his kennel after being cooped up for hours.  I listened to sacrament meeting over the sound system and enjoyed the comfort of a rocking chair, while worrying what my other children were up to. Luckily, the sister missionaries and Darcie went and sat behind them and passed them sticky notes and pens to draw with. What on earth am I going to do when I need to go nurse a newborn? 

Little funny guy has been playing it cool on the sofa tonight. It's nice to know that he IS capable of being still, anything to remain just inconspicuous enough to avoid bedtime. I am enjoying his company. He's being wa my too cute to do anything but laugh, and wonder what in the world drugged him up with super speed today. 

I think (hope) I will go back to bed after the crew leaves for school and work and we will both sleep in tomorrow, because we can.
