Want to know a surefire way to wake a sleeping baby? Frozen grapes. More specifically, four cups worth of frozen grapes spilling out of your freezer and all over your floor. Seriously sounded like a mini machine gun going off in our house. Some female in this house (I won't say who...) apparently did not do a very good job putting the tray in the freezer, and when Darrell opened it last night to make smoothies--BAM. Disaster all over our kitchen. And the icing on the cake? William, who had been asleep for only 45 minutes or so, responded to the incident like he had been woken up from a nap--wide awake and ready to play. Not exactly high on Mom and Dad's priority list at 9:00 at night. Lessons learned: place items in the freezer with more caution and frozen grapes get seriously hard. And maybe reconsider smoothie making once William is asleep, especially given the proximity of his room to the kitchen (because I was finally close to getting him settled back down and then BAM--Darrell ran the blender to get the smoothies made. Progress undone).
(For what it's worth, the smoothies were delicious. But after the battle we had getting William back to sleep I found myself wishing we had spiked them--at least just a little bit.)
