In the meantime, the boy and I are navigating this new napless world. And by 'navigating' Jack means 'trying to cram in as much naughty fun as possible' and I mean 'trying not to put the child out on the corner with a Free To A Good Home sign around his neck'. On a typical day I'll put Molly down and let Jack mess around on the computer. He has the Fisher Price Cool School toddler keyboard that I would highly recommend if I didn't suspect it was being phased out for something bigger and better. He's also become pretty adept with the mouse and is fully capable of playing nearly every game on the pbskids.org website. This, of course, makes his computer nerd parents' hearts go pitter pat. However! We don't want him to play the computer forEVER and, honestly, Jack gets tired of it after a half hour or so. So then I coax him into his bed for "a little rest". And this is where everything gets wonky because he never falls asleep anymore, and is now saying things like, "I just going to take a TINY rest." FINE THEN. 

This Saturday will mark a grand and important event in the Cheung Household: it's our first night out with a BABYSITTER!

That's right folks. While we've left our kids a million times (and often for DAYS at a time), we've always left them with aunts or grandparents. I've got two sisters and two sets of grandparents willing to watch my shorties whenever we ask. But sometimes they're not always available. Or sometimes we want to just head down the street for dinner, which isn't so conducive for grandparental babysitting since both sets live at least forty minutes away. We often drive to the grandparents' towns and go outthere, but sometimes you just wanna go see a movie and come home to kids fast asleep in their own beds, am I right?
