Catching Up

Last night was a return of the old Sofian, where he was having some severe problems getting to sleep (brought on possibly/probably by his parents feeding him too much pizza at dinner) and I decided to drive the boy around to get him to sleep. Well, it wasn't a slam dunk. Usually, the car gets him to sleep pretty quickly, but last night it took 90 minutes. Got to see a lot of Seattle. And catch up on some podcasts. But he didn't get to sleep until very late (well after 11pm). And I've just gotten an update from the LemonDrop that he's refusing to take a nap today as well, so I might be headed home early to help with that.

Things are progressing in talks with two contractors about the upcoming addition to the house. Both are coming in with higher bids than we hoped (no surprise there), and Parie is going to take some time to try and sort out where we can try to save some money by cutting things out of the plans.

Here are some vids of the boy checking out his new ride-on recycling truck (the box calls it a garbage truck, but we like to think green around the LD):
