last night chet did the most wonderful thing. he slept all the way from 12 to 7. it was divine. i woke up at about 6, out of habit, and waited nervously for chet to wake up and snap. that is usually what he does after an extra long sleep. probably because he is extra hungry. (he usually eats every 4 hours now.) but he didn't wake up. infact, the only reason he woke up at 7 was because of me. i picked him up and snuggled with him. then he slowly started to wake up. as he opened his sleepy eyes they were all blinky from the bright light. it was so cute. i wish all mornings were that nice. usually i am half asleep and he is right livid.

matt and i often forget that chet is going to grow up. that he is going to be a boy one day...and then a teenager...and eventually a man. we just think that he is going to be a baby forever. it's scary to think that we are responsible to teach chet all that he needs to know so he grows up to the best he can be. i definitely don't feel qualified! the other day matt and i used a glass of cold diet coke to keep chets milk cool. do good parents do things like that??
we are without a car. it's in the shop getting a new transmission. and oh how i miss it. i have always been spoiled enough to have a car, so going without is hard. it's probably good for me though. i have been able to go on lots of walks over the past couple days.
yesterday we found this cute bridge...
today we found this cat...(i can't decide if this is too gross to be funny. the worst part is that it is right across the street from a junior high. and it has obviously been there for a while!)
