jackie boy goes in to see the pediatrician for the first time since the hospital today, and i'll bet he's really rather quiet for her. this is because last night he never slept in bed for more than an hour at a stretch, demanding the rest of the time that one of us be holding him, not in bed. on the plus side, he really seems to like reggae and traditional ska, siouxs!'s and my favorite musical genres of late. true, you have to bounce him in time with the beat for it to work, but the island music does seem to work better than other types. it also helps if you sing along, which can be a bit tricky if the singer's jamaican accent is strong enough. though my imitation of vowel sounds is pretty spot on, i don't always know what i'm saying.
needless to say, i'm freakin' tired today. perhaps i'll post again later.
