The In-Laws

Last Saturday my husband and I went to a wedding and we had his parents watch the little guy.  This was the first time I've left him with somebody else for longer than 2 hours.  I had never missed putting him to bed until that night.  Needless to say, I almost didn't go to the wedding. 
Anyway, my in-laws arrived and I was very specific about everything--when he'll wake up from his nap, his bedtime routine, ounces of milk he'll drink, the bedtime, etc.  Again, I reiterated the exact bedtime he goes down and what to do if he cries.  My mother-in-law definitely heard me, but it didn't make a difference. 
We got home at about 11:45pm and SHE HAD JUST PUT HIM DOWN FOR THE NIGHT!!!  She said she couldn't stand to see him cry so she continued to play with him, hold him, take him on a walk, and feed him...again.  Therefore, from the time he woke up from his last nap until his bedtime, he had been awake for 6.5 hours!  No freakin' wonder he was crying--his mind was melting because he was so dang tired!
The point is...it's been 3 days and he's still a wreck.  His sleeping habits are completely blown and I'm tiiiiired!
