"Babies are hard work, you know?!"

Sometimes being awakened at 6am, after being up twice throughout the night with the wee one, with a 5yr old ready to play play play, can be a little overwhelming. Ristow questioned my bit of crankiness this morning and I explained to him that I had been up with Jess quite a bit throughout the night and that I was tired.
To which he replies
"Babies are hard work, you know?!"
Yes, I do know that, and thank you for reminding me Ristow.

Then he said "pets are hard work too. and I am ready for it!"
We are in the middle of a deal where if he can go a week without arguing with us, he gets a pet hermit crab. A good compromise since our family is definitely not ready for a dog or anything big.
So far, so good. We are on day 4 of the deal. Will post a pic of the new "pet" if Ristow makes it through the week.
