I happened to wake up at around 11:30, and at that point figured I may as well stay up to see the ball drop. I quietly grabbed my phone, started my Slingbox and tuned it to ABC. When the time came for the ball to drop, I wanted Erin and I to share the moment, but that would be hard without disturbing the sleeping toddler between us.
Luckily, I had a solution.
With about a minute to go, I opened up my AirPods, ensured they were connected to my iPhone, woke Erin up, and handed her one.
