I know he passed his hearing test but...

Scene: Mom stoking the fire, which wasn't cooperating and sending copious amounts of smoke billowing up to the ceiling. Baby sleeping quietly after a marathon hour-long nursing session.

Mom (whispering fervently to fire): Please start already. Please don't set off the smoke alarm. I just got him to sleep. Pretty Please...Please, Please, Please.

Smoke Alarm: BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Baby: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Mom: Whew!

Scene: Fast forward five minutes. Smoke alarm has been turned off, Fire is lit, and exhausted Mom is climbing back into bed.

Mom: (Pulls back sheets to lay down) *small Sigh of Relief as tired head meets pillow and Mom relaxes*

Baby: WAAAAHH! WAAAAHHH!

Lol! Welcome to the world of motherhood! It will get better, just sleep when he does- not quite as frustrating when it happens again!
