Happy Hugs

Anna and Alexander take time out from their Sesame Street episode to give mommy a big smile and hug for the camera, a bright moment in some otherwise sketchy days and nights for Mr. Alexander. He hasn't slept well for the past three nights. Last night we were up with his cries five times. After the fifth I vowed there wouldn't be a sixth so I kept him in the living room with me, where he continued to cry for about 20 minutes before we both fell asleep on the sofa. I even took him to the doctor today, but he couldn't find anything. A little pink throat but no strep. Hopefully this will soon pass, as we're leaving Saturday to fly down South for a two-week vacation with the family! And I haven't started packing, so Friday is going to be a bit crazed. Hope we have a good night's sleep tonight.
