For the third night in a row tonight Jeremy screamed for the about a half an hour before finally settling down to sleep. Tonight was probably the worst of yet (although, unlike the last two nights of noise, Harry didn't wake up). However, for the last two nights Jeremy has also gone on from that to sleep the entire night from some time between 11:30 and midnight until after 6:00am. It's an intriguing trade.

Another less brazen trade is that for some time now Harry has been effectively calling his mother and I by saying "mommy coming" or "daddy coming." I'm pretty sure he knows enough language now so I could quite quickly correct this little misstep of grammar and he really almost has it already and does demand that "daddy, come!" or "mommy, come!" when he's trying to be especially forceful. But, somehow, I find the more gentle "daddy coming" (it's a little like the formal command form in Spanish) more appealing than the more brash alternative and I've let it go thus far. I figure we're probably not holding Harry back too much by letting this error work itself out in its own time.
