Odds and Ends

I put part of this on FB earlier, but on FB isn't as easy to access old things as it is on here.

Noah insists on having music playing in whatever room we're in. In his room it's his kids and dance music, in the living room it's country playlist. And that's fine. Except when he wants us to play DJ and skip songs he's not in the mood for.

Also, about a month ago he started insisting on getting up into his car seat on his own. Fantastic! My back is very happy about that. The only problem is when he decides upon getting in or out of the seat to take a detour either past his seat and onto the rest of the back seat, or even more fun, up to the driver's seat. He already loves to sit in the driver's seat and pretend to drive. Didn't know that started this early. He's pretty good with me about just getting into and out of his seat, with Nerdstar, not so much.

Somehow - we certainly can't imagine how - we're raising a complete night owl. Who also likes to eat lots of snacks before going to bed. This wouldn't be so bad, but seriously, Nerdstar and I are so damn tired and it's affecting too many other things. It doesn't seem to matter what time he gets up in the morning, how hard he plays, or how long or short his naps is. It's gonna be sad if all we do on our Vegas trip for Christmas is hand him off to Granny and Pa while we sleep all day! (I don't really want to think about dealing with the time difference.)
