Aaron, without my permission, put Lily down in here big girl bed. To SLEEP. I am also holding other people responsible here. For one, my mother. She kindly cleaned my house before I got home on my vacation, and as I went room to room eyes wide open with tears coming down my face as I examined how every room was neat and tidy, we came last to Lily's room. Not much needed to be done with it, but she did make the twin bed that needed to be made after the guests of David's wedding left. She suggested in the way my mom "suggests", maybe you should teach Lily to sleep in her nice bed so you can finally put away the port-a-crib. I said, how dare you say such a thing, you want me to go even crazier? I am not teaching her until she can climb out of her crib even if it means I have to buy another crib for baby-on-the-way, because I love my sleep that much. Hindsight 20/20, it was at that point Aaron was cooking up his evil scheme.
Then the next day came and the other people to blame came over. Josh and Jenni told us how they had just switched Caden over to a toddler bed and things went amazingly smoother. Apparently, the idea turned into a plan of action for Aaron at that point, because just minutes after they left Aaron without being asked put Lily down for her nap.
"You're going to be really mad," he said. "I did something that you are not going to like." Then he made me play the guessing game. I don't remember if I guessed it or not because everything is just a blur from then on from the lack of sleep I have been getting. Sure Lily goes to sleep on her own, but somewhere in the morning’s tossing and turning she realizes that she doesn't have to stay put and gets up earlier than before.
Last night Aaron had to go up to the scout camp to supervise for a day leaving me home with Lily. I knew I could not do mornings without Aaron yet so I put her in her crib. I hope it does not ruin her chances of going from crib to bed, but I am just not happy about her not sleeping (or at least playing in her crib quietly) like she used to. I don't know what I am going to do when Aaron starts school in less than 2 weeks.

A heinous crime was committed against me recently. Three days ago to be exact. Here's a review on the definition of heinous: Grossly wicked or reprehensible; abominable. It's that bad. You want to know what this heinous crime is, do you? Just ask Aaron. He is the perpetrator.
