Zachary’s 6 weeks older cousin Spencer from Shanghai is visiting us. Zachary is a bit taller than him and thinks that he should be the leader. Zachary tries to protect him from Hershey because Spencer is afraid of dogs. Zachary tried a couple times holding Spencer’s hand to go somewhere too, just like a big brother.
Zachary was very good and went to sleep around 10pm last night. This gives us about an hour to catch up on our addictive Korean drama series. Then around 3am, the flashing screen of our bedroom TV woke us up. We found little Zachary standing in front of the TV eyes wide awake. We pulled him into our bed and made him comfortable with pillows so that he can fall asleep while watching TV. I also turned the channel to the Chinese Jade channel so he can learn Chinese and less likely any violence would appear on the show. I tried to turn off the TV half an hour later because Zachary started to doze off. But as soon as I turned it off, he complained and I had to turn it back on again. I am a light sleeper and cannot fall asleep with the flashing TV and sounds. I tried again to turn off the TV 15 min later and luckily Zachary didn’t complain this time, though he was not fully into sleep. 5 min later in the dark, Zachary pulled his blanket over his head and started playing peek-a-boo with me. I couldn’t resist because his laughter is so sweet. That went on for about 15 min before he finally tired out and went into deep sleep. Of course Chris, being a heavy sleeper, didn’t participate much of this middle of the night activity. He probably don’t even remember any of this happened.
