Houseguests

It's here...a day I've both dreaded and looked forward to--we have houseguests this weekend. These aren't our first houseguests (let's call them "HGs" for short), but these are the first HGs that are neither related nor do they have a toddler/baby of their own. They have a high schooler and a college age child and have theoretically survived sleepless nights of endless crying and should have some understanding of this experience. However, I've met their lovely girls--one of them when she was a toddler around Boden's age, now--and I just don't believe they could have ever caused their parents any trouble at night (they might now, but not as young babes). I told Todd to warn them that Boden sometimes, without warning and oft without reason, has some yelling/crying at night...and the guest room is right next door to his room.

We gave the HGs fair warning and full disclosure but they insisted they knew what babies were like. Oh (insert nervous twitter), they know what their babies were like, not what this babe is like.

Ugh...of course, Boden was sleeping like a rock last week, but this week, he's got a cold and because we have company, it will probably turn into an ear infection and interrupted sleeping...for everyone.
