Maaaaaaamma, Daaaaaaa-D...

This is what I heard at the wee hours of the morning this morning. I open my eyes, it is pitch black.  I look at the clock.  It is 3:12 a.m.  What the heck??? I think to myself, and perhaps some explatives mumbled under my breath...This is Jacob's new thing and it was cute once, but not anymore.  He did this off and on until 5:30 a.m. when he became cranky.  He fell asleep inbetween, but EEEE GADS! 

Then the morning got even BETTER than major sleep deprivation...Went to throw his diaper bag in the car, he was behind me.  The door shut behind me, and he was not in front of it.  and DOOR LOCKED.  Oh yeah.  Every bloody door was locked in the house and I started to panic.  How can I break the door down?  Should I break the arcadia door glass (I've been wanting a new door anyways)?  Could my bum possibly fit through the doggie door?  I decided that I had to give the door a try, and I fit.  Jake just stood at the door looking at me like I was nuts (I had just reprimanded him from going through the other week).  I crumbled to the ground and just started to cry!  HOW insanely stupid was I to lock the bottom knob?  I never do that!  HOW insanely stupid was I to not have Jake walk out to the garage with me?  Apparently pretty insanely stupid.  As I was sobbing, Jake came up to me, with a sad look on his face, patted my shoulder and sounded like he said, "okay".  Needless to say we got to school late, as I spent extra time telling him how sorry I was for the 2 minutes he was alone and for being so stupid.  Just one more thing to add to the stupid mommy mistake list...

On a happier note, we had Jake's 18 month pictures taken this Saturday.  Here are the few that Leanna posted on FB.
