Playing in the Dark

We lost power at 11:30 PM last night. After checking that all circuit breakers were in place and discovering that none of our neighbours lost power, we called the electricity company. Surprisingly, they came over to our house within the hour and by 2 AM the electricity was back on.

However, during the 2.5 hours of darkness and heat (our backup generator was out of gasoline… *duh!*), Mommy was so afraid that Nick would wake up and fussed. Sure enough, he was up by midnight. However, Mommy was pleasantly surprised that he did not fuss at all! At first he just tossed and turned in his bed. So Mommy changed him from his long sleeves jumper into shirt and short pants. When Mommy put him back in his crib, he continued playing with his hands and feet in the dark until the lights came back on.

Once we turned on the AC and the temperature got cooler, Nick drank some milk and fell back to sleep.

Nick, Mommy is so proud of you!
