Legit Parents

I think we are official parents tonight. We had a meeting for Cruz's baptism tonight so we tried to feed him a little extra to get him to sleep a bit longer. Naturally that didn't work so in a room with 7 other couples and their children, the children's staff, and the 15 members of the leadership team for the church Cruz starting crying... during the prayer... after he got done burping. Somewhere around Amen he started crying. During the prayer I am trying to jam a pacifier in his mouth while his head is jerking around like the Exorsist and I think I managed to get the pacifier in his ear, nose, chin, and maybe even his mouth once. Tonight I will pray on the correct way to handle that situation, because I am pretty sure that keeping your eyes closed and mind focused doesn't go well with trying to get the pacifier in a moving target.

We were a bit run down from the night before when Cruz stayed up pooping and crying so we decided to do a nice supper out. As I screamed my order into the driveup menu at McDonalds the kind woman asked me over and over what I had asked for since she couldn't understand over Cruz's uncontrollable wailing. (Fun side note: A 6 piece McNugget meal is now a kids meal. I know this because I got a toy tonight and the little Fry sack instead of the fry box. This is why our country is fat. I am going to come back to this some time.) So Ash hopped out of the car to try to comfort Cruz as I argued with the menu and I started to pull away, but I didn't know this because I was trying to get my Hi-C orange with a barbecue sauce pack. So I almost killed her as I pulled ahead to window two.

So over all it was one of those nights. It's a good thing that the little dude is so damn cute...
