It’s a little early in the morning for me to be awake. My youngest likes to get up early and turn on all the lights. The primary problem with his routine is that as often as not one of those lights is burnt out. Today he was very calm when he asked for a new one and it was a bathroom light so replacing it didn’t require any climbing. But still. When that was done I asked him if he wanted water. He repeated: water. Then he went upstairs and I waited for him to bring his water bottle down. After about five minutes of sitting in the empty room I came up to check on him. He seemed fine so I layed back down. As soon as my head hit the pillow he asked for a diaper and bath. So I drew him a bath and went to set out a change of clothes for after that. All his drawers were empty so I had to get a set from the laundry basket in the basement. At that point I resigned myself to being awake. I got the coffee drink my wife had gotten for me yesterday. When I looked at the label it realized is was “sweetened” with stevia. I’m not a big fan of stevia. I’m not a big fan of any of this. Lord help me.
