[On the monitor: Finn cries and wiggles in his crib.]
Allie: Well, it's been five minutes.  How much longer should I let him fuss?
Grandma: Maybe I should just go get him and hold him for a minute.
Allie: He's getting worse lately.  It takes 45 minutes to put him down.  He's relying too much on me for sleeping.  He needs to learn  how to do this.
Grandma: Maybe a few minutes more.  It does sound like a tired cry.
Allie: He's been up for four hours.  He's exhausted.  How much longer can he keep up?
[On the monitor: The nursery door slams open and Cael steps up to the crib, pointing.]
Cael: Mama!  Baby wah wah wah!  Mama!
Allie:  Well, I guess that settles that.
