The Clausen 3 woke up refreshed bright and early this morning. Hopeful that after we attended the Lake Oswego BBQ Soren would lay down for a very late nap, sleep until at least 6pm, and be ready to stay up late and observe his very first firework show. We got home from the BBQ at 3pm. I took Soren out of his car seat, stripped his clothes off and changed his diaper without him opening even one eye. He slept 20 minutes and woke up. Nate and I sang to him, rocked him, held him and did every possible thing we could to get him back to sleep. He layed back down. We made it to the bottom of the stairs and he started fussing. We waited 5 minutes and just couldn't do the "cry it out" thing. So we got him up. He stayed up until 6:30pm, then totally crashed for the night. Nate crashed around 9pm. No firework show for the Clausen 3 this year... stay tuned for next year!
