Well, this sucks
Katie has been crying for about 40 minutes in her crib. Shrieking, hyper, a-wolf-is-gnawing-my-arm-off cries. I went in there for a minutes to tell her to stop. Hey, I figured I'd give it a shot! I headed back into Jamie's room to finish putting her to bed, reading her a selection from her book of 5 Minute Stories. Hug, kiss, see you at two 7's. Left the book (it's been downstairs for the longest time) and left the room.
By then Katie was tired, but Rex was missing. I correctly deduced that Rex had gone in and picked her up, which would't be so bad if it didn't just restart the crying from wah one. Thirty seconds after I sat down on the couch, Jamie starts shrieking like the wolves have moved into her room. The problem? I left the book in her room.
I'm afraid I didn't handle the Jamie thing all that well. I was/am pissed that she made a HUGE production out of a book. And when it came down to it, it wasn't a scared thing, it was just that there was something different in her room. I told her how lucky she was that I left the book there so we could read her another story and she finally got over it.
Ah, silence. And in just under an hour. My nerves are shot.
