Went to visit in-laws. They have a huge bed for us, where all three of us sleep. Last night kid was put to bed the usual time. Since there are no side walls on that bed (unlike kid's bed) and parents weren't limiting him, he eventually rolled out of it. Drop could be heard pretty well on the whole floor. Luckily, carpet was quite soft and cushioned the fall.

Hold the door!
Last night was one long and tiring evening. Well, not for me, but mostly for the old lady. She spent 2 hours dealing with the kid who's now actively is testing and pushing borders. Chatting, humming, walking around, playing and generally entering himself, while mummy can't wait to have her free couple of hours. At one point she came downstairs and told that she can't do it anymore. I went upstairs and kid started crying and chanting "mommy no want, mommy no want.." Not sure whether it was "no want daddy, want mummy" or "mummy no want me". Jeez i hope it was former.
Today I'm putting him to bed and he's chanting: "dear child please shut your mouth and go to sleep. Dear child, please shut your mouth and go to sleep..." Creepy as hell. Sometimes his evening chants remind me of Hodor from "Game of thrones" and make me hope we haven't fucked him up too much already.

Round and round it goes
We have this local family-friendly shopping mall which used to just give out free fruit to each visiting child. But now the have added also a free mini carousel. I've been sitting here (next to it) for 20 minutes already and don't see an end to it yet. He just keeps on jumping from animal to animal. Wouldn't be such a bad way of spending my day, if not for the music
