Christmas Eve and the second night in the same bed for a while

After another hard night where Oscar woke up at 5am in order to
eat 3 packets of food, we realized that he’s going to have to adjust to these changes and being in the same room with him doesn’t help because he hears every time we roll over in bed and thinks that it’s now time to get up and play or something….hopefully, now that we’re staying put for a few days he can get back on track, or John and I won’t make it….Christmas Eve and there is still some shopping that needs to be done.  Not for Christmas because we’ve got that taken care of, but we have to get some food for Oscar because he’s going through the
 food that we brought at a prodigious rate.  We’ll run out of food in the middle of Christmas at this rate and he needs something that will last longer now that we have a freezer and a fridge to use.  I have also realized that holding him in my arms at the table is going to cause my arms to fall off, so we are going to a kids’ store that rents things for all the grandparents around here.  They close at noon and mom and I had to hightail it to the store and she almost ran over dad in the driveway as we pulled out because I was handing him John’s ipad since I had put the navigation into the car’s GPS.  Not an auspicious beginning, but we made it with 15 minutes to spare and they had a compact little high chair that I could rent for $10 or buy for $17….let me think about that since I have several more stops on this trip….of course mom bought it and a set of golden books because Oscar doesn’t have enough for Christmas.  We hit the grocery store and I got some Oscar food that I could cook up and save for the next few days.
