Day's finally over. I didn't get to go to the zoo again because of the rain. Yesterday was supposed to rain so we changed plans to today and yesterday was sunny and today it rained! Ugghh!! Then I wanted to go to the Y to work out, but it was raining and I didn't want to risk Spencer getting a cold. He was so miserable the last/only time he had one. No reason to make him suffer needlessly. I decided to go at 430 b/c that's when childwatch opened again. Mike was so thrilled (though he didn't advertise it) to have the house to himself that he forgot to pick up a library book on the way home. Totally not like him to forget. Guess he really needed some Mikey time. Not suprisingly, he didn't talk to his boss. He promised me he will on Monday, which was odd b/c I didn't think I was pushing him to - guess I better back off. Surprisingly, he asserted himself and said that he was going to go to this video game thing tonight and a bike ride tomorrow (if it's not rained out). He always comes up with these things to do, but doesn't do them out of some sense of responsibility towards the home. What he doesn't understand is that having less time with happy, fun Mike/Daddy is better than having more time with miserable, resentful Mike/Daddy. Now I'm not saying he should start looking for things to do every hour of every weekend, but it's normal and healthy to get out and do something sometimes.

Weird night with Spencer. I offered for Mike to dance with him and put him down, since he will have to on both Monday and Tuesday nights next week. Spencer started crying shortly after Mike put him down. He took a 2+ hour nap until a little after 7 when I woke him, so it's very possible that he wasnt' really tired yet. I went to get him and he burped, so I thought that was it. He started crying again and I burped him again. He started crying again, so this time I got a bottle ready (even though it wasn't really the "hungry cry"). He took every drop - a bit slowly, but he took it. Then I danced with him and put him down again. He cried a couple of times. Like he used to when we first started sleep training. When I went in awhile ago (right before I started typing this) he looked like he was asleep, but I swear his eyes ewere open. It was a little freaky actually because it was too dark to really see, but I really think he was just lying there with his eyes open. I'm going to go check now... Yep, he's out. He went bed an hour late and had some food later than usual. I wonder if he'll sleep in in the morning. Saturday's are Mike's sleep in days, so it would be kinda nice if he did sleep late and then I could have two sleep in days in a row. I know I'm being selfish, but I don't feel bad because if the tables were reversed Mike sure as hell would sleep in two days in a row. How long was it before he even got up with Spencer so I could sleep in??? And even then I had to force him to "offer" LOL.
