Have been needing to post about our baby adventure. The last two weeks at our school is a program called Project Term. Project term is when the kids get to pick a class from a list that they want to learn more about. The list is topics that aren't normally taught during the year. Our daughter choose Child Development class. They had to wear a empathy belly, go visit the day care, talk about sex, talk about sexually transmitted diseases and care for a "real" baby doll. The baby has a computer chip that records how long it cries, if it has been shaken, if its head falls back and other items. 
I call her after school on the day she is bring the baby home and she answers in a whisper. "Mom, I can't talk because I just got my baby back to sleep after he had been crying for 25 minutes." Then when I get to softball practice the team says "don't touch the baby because he cried the whole ride over." At this point we are liking the baby and the learning experience that she is getting.
Fast forward to bedtime- He is crying- she feeds him and changes his diaper and burps him. He continues to cry for 40 minutes. I can't even describe how freakin' loud this thing cries. Needless to say he was up crying 4 times in the night. Every time we are up 45 minutes at least while she does all the things she needs to and he just cries. Hence the reason for the title of this blog.
This definitely made an impression on both of our children! It also reinforced to Neil and I the reason he had his procedure.
