passing the buck
after a painful, fitful night of stops and starts (can't ignore a baby fussing and futzing in bed next to you), i finally gave up at 4:40 am and asked cam to wake up and attend to the child.
cam: wha?
paul: change. change.
me: okay, baby, daddy will change you.
paul: mom.
cam: we audi 5000, motherfuckers! [snore]
me: ass.
so cam went back to sleep and i dealt with a boy who went back and forth between wanting to be changed in his room on the changing table and wanting to not be changed at all. yet he was firm on not wanting to go back to bed or even to let me sit down. i finally got to sit down almost half an hour later. this did not bode well for my morning.
