Bedtime shenanigans

Jason's been out of town a lot lately. A lot. He left last Thursday, came home Sunday night, left Monday afternoon and is expected back next Sunday. Rough when you've got a 3 year old. Even rougher when you've got a 3 year old and are trying to grow a second child. We're doing just fine, though. Jason had told Will to be a good boy while he was gone and Will's taking it to heart. Bedtimes are going much smoother, he's following directions better, just being all around awesome.

Will spent the night w/ Grandma last Friday and got to stay and play for a majority of Saturday as well. Since he got to spend so much one-on-one time with Grandma, now he's kind of used to her being around and wanted to call her tonight to say good night. So I turned the phone on speaker so Will's voice would be the first she heard. It rang forever before I realized that tonight was her tennis night, I heard her pick up in a panic:

Grandma (shouting off the phone): It's my pregnant daughter-in-law! She's home alone and never calls. I hope she's okay.

Will: Grandma! You have to come to my house. I love you, Grandma

Me (shouting): Janice, we're fine! I forgot tonight was tennis! Everything's fine!
and then she hung up. I still don't know if she heard me--hope so.

Will was disappointed he didn't get to say good night, so I decided we could call Daddy. Of course he didn't pick up either, so Will had to leave a message on the voicemail which I knew would break Jason's heart, but it bothered Will that the people he most wanted to talk to weren't available.

So tonight at bedtime, after hugs and kisses and one last glass of water, Will went to give hugs and kisses to the wall.
