Ringing in the New Year! We don't have a lot of traditions for New Year's. When Doug was growing up they had a tradition of trying a new food with the New Year. They would eat either Chinese food or cheese soup in bread bowls. So last night Doug brought home some Chinese and we shared some bubbly (Coke) in my Christmas martini glasses. Bode chowed on the take-out! Loved the egg roll and chicken with mixed veggies. Then he proceeded to take the rice kernels that fell on the floor while he was eating and drop them through a paper towel roll until he had a nice pile. After the boys were in bed, Doug and i watched half of season 2 of Grey's Anatomy, my guilty pleasure. And then i was off to bed, before midnight. Doug had to stay up for the official New Year. I told him it's already the New Year in New York so off to bed for me.
I woke up at midnight, though, to neighbors lighting off fireworks. I also watched the fireworks go off over Pikes Peak, which was fun to see. Apparently a group called "Add-a-Man" climb up to Barr Camp on the 30th, set up camp and stay the night. Then they go the rest of the way and also truck up the fireworks for the celebration. Must have been a crazy hike this year with all the snow and a cold camp-out!
Regarding Keegen and his nightime awakenings, we had a little chat last night. I told him when i put him to bed at 6:30 that he was allowed to get up to nurse at 10pm and then he had to sleep until 6am. Well, he cried for about 30 seconds at 9pm, must have remembered our conversation and fell back to sleep. He was up at 10:01, nursed and went back to sleep and was up again at 6am on the dot! Oh, how i hope this is the beginning of a good trend!
