When I'm Not Home

Tonight after we FINALLY got Jake down for the night (long story), and after we watched the Wizards beat the Bucks and Obama beat Clinton, Ali went to bed and I cleaned up a little. I found the camera in the kitchen and turned it on and found this video. This cracks me up. Apparently Ali is running a little Irish indoctrination camp while I'm at work.

Spring Forward

Daylight Savings Time is a cruel trick for parents with little kids. They're pretty set in their schedules - at least ours are - so trying to get Jake to go to bed at his normal time last night (which was actually an hour earlier than Saturday night) was, um, what's the word?...torture. "But I'm not tired" "But I need some apple juice" "But I'm just going to read some books" "But..."

By the time he fell asleep it was pretty much his pre-DST bedtime. So the score is: Jake 1, DST 0.
