Bug

Check out the Beast that tried to eat our little helpless baby! I'm still freaking out a bit. Last night after we put Coop to bed we heard a strange noise coming from the baby monitor. It was loud. So loud that we heard it over the tv. It sounded like Cooper was snoring. Not a sweet baby snore, but a passed out drunken sailor snore. It was loud enough that we thought we better go check on him. We tip-toed into the bedroom and a goo-gooed over our little guy like any sappy parents would do. Aw, look how preshush our widdle babeee is! Then, as we leaned in closer to his crib, THERE IT WAS..the Beast that you see below. It was crawling right next to Coop as he lay peacefully sound asleep. Mark tried to slide it out of the crib by covering it with a book. That didn't work and the Beast suddenly flew right towards the door and the light. Unfortunately, its path was intercepted by ME and my hair. I SCREAMED and did the OH MY GOD THERE'S A BUG STUCK IN MY HAIR dance which of course woke Coop up. He then started screaming frantically. Can you blame the poor kid? Who wouldn't scream if they were suddenly awakened by their mother doing some freaky dancing next to their crib? Mind you, I didn't do any of my signature dance moves that he has become accustomed to. This was definitely a new routine. The poor kid is probably going to have nightmares about this for years to come. Mark then shut the door and told us to stay put while he tried and finish off the Beast. As I rocked Coop back to sleep I could hear Mark in the other room. It sounded like he was wrestling a gorilla. There's was a lot of pounding and slamming going on. Finally, Coop was again sound asleep and Mark had slayed the Beast (insert dramatic movie score here). He even saved the remains. So what did I do with them you ask? What any first time Mother would do.... take a picture of it and blog about it. Notice I even took the time to pose it next to a Netlix envelope so that you'd be able to scale it to size. Am I a dork or what?
