The thing is… (hey, I never used a ‘thing’ in a title before)…

But the thing is… this little guy right here…

a 1

… is a colicky baby. Now, if you have never had a baby with ‘the colic’, it is not fun. Our first daughter, Jessica, slept through the night from day one… almost. Mollie, not so much. A colicky baby cries all the time. And they barely sleep. Campbell is a colicky baby.

Clark was also colicky, but not these days.

Now, he is what you call an ‘active child’… he never stops moving. So my cousin, Mallorie, and her husband, have their hands full.

An active kid and a colicky baby is a tough combination. You get no sleep at all. So my wife decided that she and Mollie would rent a car to drive back to San Diego… because they had stuff to do… but they left me with the cousins for five days to help out.

Now, you know I never brag about my awesome ‘baby whispering’ skillz… but I think I did help out a little.

And I might be going back in a few weeks to help some more… if they still need me.
