Making it work, episode 1

Last week shortly after Jacob came home, Dada was struck with the stomach flu and a strained ankle and became temporarily useless, leaving me solely in charge of putting The Firstborn to bed. I had Grandma to help me, but Isaac seemed to fight her harder than he fights even me at bedtime, so I put Grandma on Jacob duty while I read Isaac bedtime stories and then used my special mommy tricks to keep him from launching out of his toddler bed. The only problem? Just as Isaac was falling asleep, Jacob woke up and started feenin' for the boob. I tried to escape Isaac's bedroom to feed The Secondborn, but then Isaac, who is incapable of falling asleep unless someone else is in the room with him, started some screaming of his own. I took Jacob into Isaac's room and started nursing him in the rocking chair there, but that aroused Isaac's ire all the more, as Isaac was commanded to stay in bed and not snuggle in the way that Jacob was allowed to do.

My genius-mommy solution?
1) Carry Jacob, attached to the boob, over to Isaac's bedside.
2) Plant my tushie next to Isaac's bed.
3) Cradling nursing nursling in both arms, crane my neck over Isaac's bedrail so he can run his fingers through my hair.
4) Watch both boys quickly fall asleep.
5) Attend to crick in neck later.
