Shanna and Ezra at the LA Times Festival of Books. We try to go every year.

Some weekends are winners, some aren't. Besides not really eating this weekend, Shanna and I have barely slept. Friday night was one of Ezra's worse nights, but compared to Saturday night he was Rip van Winkle. He slept fine until around the time Shanna and I went to bed. Then he cried for the next three hours. Around 1:30 in the morning I took him for a drive so Shanna could get some sleep. After about 2 minutes he was out cold. Since I didn't want him to wake up on the way up from the car I loaded him into the little stroller and carefully wheeled him upstairs. He's had a runny nose lately (I think it is due to teething) and my theory was that he would sleep better sitting than lying down.

At two in the morning, I didn't want to take any chances with him waking up so I wheeled him into our bedroom. Not long later Shanna woke up somewhat surprised and asked where Ezra was. Over there I said, pointing to the stroller. We all managed to sleep for a couple of hours until Ezra woke up again. This time Shanna took him into the other room and managed to get him to sleep on the couch with her for another couple of hours. The unexpected result of all this is Ezra seemed relatively fine today. Shanna and I were zombies. We spent most of today taking naps in shifts.

    That brings back memories. I think we had a few nights driving around town to get someone to sleep. Hope things are better now. - Floy
