country bumpkin

so it seems as though my new(er) little cherub is not a city kid. in fact, i think that he hates the city. he has not been one to sleep during the first 3 months of his life, but seemed to find his inner peace up in OP, maine. truthfully, it would be hard not to find your chi up there, but the transformation was insane. he took 2.5 hour naps twice a day and was incredibly happy when he was awake. it was unbelievable. then we came back and my skittish little boy returned. it is very sad. i feel very guilty about subjecting him to the noise of the streets and the crappy air that he apparently hates and i can not wait to move out of here.

so, one week from now we close. what luck, not a second too soon. my little guy will have quiet. when miss b is napping, that is. it will be really great to go outside without it being a major ordeal complete with snacks, drinks and strollers. and 2 flights of stairs. see you later apartamente.

although, i talked to my landlord last night and he has rented this place out. can you even believe that someone else is going to live here? i can't quite get over the fact that it isn't going to remain empty as a shrine to us. as much as i am dying to get out of here, i will be a mess when we leave the place that both of my babies came home to for the last time.

oh yeah, despite hating the city, drew bug slept until 6 AM last night. most likely a fluke that i shouldn't be speaking of, but hey, what the heck. it was nuts, i woke up and felt that something was not quite right because it was light outside and then it hit me. i slapped michael awake - not nice, i know, but i was shocked - and said - he slept through the night! and then i realized that i am not that reliable these days so i followed it up with - right? did i get up last night? i don't think i did. did i? he said no but i'm pretty sure that he wouldn't know if i got up or he just shot out an answer to shut me up. so i should really say - i think he slept through the night. we'll see what happens tonight. every 2 hours no doubt.
