Monster Hands thinks making faces is fun. Trying to sit up without assistance is fun. Kicking is fun. Being carried in loops around the diningroom is fun. This is all especially fun in the middle of the night.
You know what else is fun? SLEEPING! I know, let’s *try* it, so we can have an informed discussion based on common experience.

Yesterday, at 3:31 am, while attempting to heat a cup of water in the dark as I soothed a crying infant, I managed to enable the child lock feature on my beloved microwave and render it completely inoperable. I didn’t even know there was such a thing. This was easily fixed, but not until the following morning when I could actually look up the unlock procedure. No hot water for me until then.
Today, I got up to feed Monster Hands at 2 am and spent a good hour afterward walking in circles through the house, holding her at just the angle she required, until she finally started falling asleep at 3:25. At 3:31, before I could safely put the baby down, the microwave began beeping frantically.
Apparently, when I child locked the microwave 24 hours ago, I also set a “reminder” to commemorate the occasion on its 24 hour anniversary.
