Yesterday, we got some rain out of the far western edges of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Hanna. This past Sunday, we had some really heavy rain and breezes out of the eastern side of Hurricane Gustav as it moved around the Keys into the Gulf of Mexico. As I write, two more storms are lining up behind Hanna potentially taking aim at South Florida. It could be a really busy September.The whole time we've lived in Miami, I am struck by just how far a way the effects of a tropical storm system can be felt and now that we have Caleb, I am struck by how similar a baby is to a tropical system, at least with regard to how far out the effects of a particular action can be felt.
As you may recall, we went out with friends on Sunday night and were out past Caleb's bedtime. We figured it would be OK since we could sleep in on Labor Day. Caleb did remarkably well and did not fuss much and seemed to be in a pretty good mood. Even though we did sleep in a little yesterday, the late night apparently started to catch up with him tonight.
We were out with our usual Tuesday night group having coffee. He slept on the way to Starbucks and only woke up when we set his carrier down. As we visited,it was well before his bed time but Caleb started to get cranky and was obviously tired. Once we finally loaded up and came home, he went right back to sleep in his carrier. When we got him home, we debated whether to give him a bath or just let him sleep. In the end, we decided he would wake anyway as we changed his clothes and he would end up awake in the middle of the night hungry if he did not get his bedtime snack. So after bathing and eating, Mom laid him down and he was out almost immediately.
