Our son turned 3 today!! My friends and I threw a nice party for him yesterday and he had a blast. You know your child is truly tired when he's surrounded by new toys from his party, and then he looks up and says, "Daddy, I don't want to play anymore, I'm tired." Happy early birthday, E!
Anyway, wife comes to pick our son up from my place just now. He had just woken up from his nap and was still rather cranky. He was crying and refusing to go. I went to carry him, talked to him some, and handed him over to his mom. Here's that part of the conversation.
W: Yadda yadda yadda (trying to console our son); I hand him a juice pack. He perks up a bit and takes it. W: Did he get a nap? M: Oh yes, two hours. W: (While looking at our son) Ooo, thank you. M: He actually slept the two hours in the car. He insisted on staying in his car seat when we got home, so I let him...(I started trailing off here when I realized my wife wasn't even paying attention, because she started telling our son about the details of his birthday party).
Two things I take from this:
1. I was too pleasant around her by telling her our son's napping situation. What do you think? 2. My wife was highly detailed telling our son about the party she planned for him. Our son is easy to please, and when she started telling him all the little details makes me think that she was doing it for my listening pleasure (Why? I don't know). Prior to this she was in my house while I went to get our son in his room, so I'm sure she was scouting for hints of the party I threw for him.
