The joys of parenthood

So I am. Thank you Jaxson. Jaxson has decided the last two nights to wake up @ 2am and be awake and want Mom or Dad to be awake with him. Sunday night I got up with him, and we watched Planet Earth to a point where I was starting to get really tired. I then told him that it was time to sleep, since it was after 3:30 am. I laid down with him, and he finally went to sleep. I remember waking up at 6am, and decided to go back downstairs, get my hubby up for work, and go to sleep. I thought with being up for so long, Jaxson would sleep in, but of course that wasn't going to happen, he came downstairs at 7:30am pounding on the door. It amazes me that he can't open up our door. Jaxson can open his door, but he can't open up my door, and the doorknob is lower. That was yesterday. Early this morning, same time, James & I heard Jaxson crying, but this time Jaxson came to us. We could hear him go across the floor and down the stairs, and then apparently he ran into something at the bottom of the stairs because he really started to cry. James got up, grabbed him and brought him to bed. We then spent the next couple of hours having him between us wiggling all over. It got to a point that I took him out of bed and told him to go back to his; he didn't want that, so I let him back him, and we had an understanding of laying still and being quiet. Jaxson must have an internal clock, because at like 7am, he was awake and ready to get out of bed. This time we took him upstairs and put cartoons on.
I'm looking forward to a long nap this afternoon.
Uggg, I'm tired.
