Robot Mama

Yesterday was the day of Fuss at Londonacres. Yes, that is a capital F on fuss! Gunnar slept great overnight, got sleepy at his usual am time and then REFUSED to go to sleep. All he wanted to do was fuss and freak out. For hours and hours. Finally I decided it was time to pull out the big guns and go for a Geo ride. He wailed to Sandy and again to Gresham but conked out as we hit the Old Navy parking lot. Whew. On the way I spotted this puppy at a garage sale:

$10 and it was mine. After dinner we put Gunnar in it while we cleaned up etc and low and behold the robot got him to fall asleep. It was very entertaining to watch him fight the machine and then in the end give in. It was even funnier watching us try and get him out of it and into bed without waking him!

Today has been much better, but it sure is nice to have the robot in your corner if you need it. We love the stinker but our arms can only take so many hours!
