Why my baby is like Jack Bauer

An unlikely comparison, yes, but lil a is more like Bauer than you might expect. For one, he had no problem using torture when necessary. Take for instance last night: he skillfully used bloodcurdling screams to get me and his father to behave as he wished. I'm waiting for him to pull out a device for Chinese Water Torture.

Like Bauer, just when you think you've got him cornered, he pulls a fast one on you. It seems that every time we think we have him figured out, he changes his routine. He's been on a pretty set schedule (he set it himself, just as Bauer would), but just as we've gotten comfortable with it, he switches it up. No more sleeping from 10 pm to 2 am. Last night, he decided to get up at 11:30, 2:30, 5 and 6. Who knows what today will bring - it might be the longest day of my life too.

Finally, you never see him take a bathroom break. (Maybe Jack is sporting Pampers too!)
