The other day your dad asked me if he was grinding his teeth in the middle of the night. Yes, yes he was. Why do you ask Daddy? His answer: you smacked me! Hmmmm. I remember hearing the tell tale sound of teeth grinding (yuck!) and being annoyed by it. Then thinking I should nudge him to make him wake up and presumably stop. Then thinking I really should nudge him for his own good (not just a selfish endeavor, that the logic). But I don't recall actually doing anything about it. Funny how memory works. Apparently I did take action and apparently my nudge was your daddy's smack upside the head. Let this be a lesson in perspective, kids.
And, unfortunately, you two have discovered a bit of the push and shove. So not nice. Normally this involves the lap space you want to yourself, or a toy that you don't want to share. Although you ARE capable of sharing as well - I've seen it with my own eyes!
Tonight Zoe woke up in the middle of the night crying. This isn't normal. Or if it is, your parents are really sound sleepers. I sat with her for 20-30 minutes as she gently rested her head on my shoulder. Just a little cuddle time, that's all she needed. I asked her if I could put her back in her bed and she nodded. I don't know why I find this so...mature, but I do. Reasonable maybe. Or maybe I'm just amazed that we can have a two way conversation - you get me Zoe, you really GET me. :) Which I suppose is a substantial shift from "babyhood".
