Odds and Ends
Today was my first day alone with both kids for the entire day. We started the day at 7:15 as we all loaded up to take the car to the body shop for some work. (Joel was rear ended a few weeks back in the Publix parking lot). After a visit with all of daddy’s coworkers, we arrived back at home at 9:30.
*By 10:30, I thought, wow, only an hour has passed. This is going to be a REALLY long day.
*Ruthie continues to eat food off her high chair tray like a dog/cat. Mouth to tray. Why???? Who knows. I can only hope this is a short phase and something she is just trying out.
*Following a complete breakdown at 1:00, I put Ruthie down for a nap early. She was so tired. Another successful 2 hour nap. She is now down to one nap a day.
*Sweet Samuel doesn’t want to nap in the cradle in the middle of the day. He’ll nap if I hold him and seeing that I was desperate for a nap, I gave in.
*Daddy didn’t get home until 6:30 after riding home from work with a coworker. Both kids were past ready - And so was mommy.
*Ruthie now says “ocks” (socks) “ooes” (shoes), “ish” (fish), “uice” (juice), “gongon” (milk), “aldon” (all done).
*The connection was made today by Ruthie that socks are for feet. She just can’t get them on once she removes them for the 10th time in the day.
I’m hoping to get to bed here shortly after I feed Samuel. I’m wondering if I have a plugged milk duct so we’re going to try nursing in a different position tonight. We’ll see how it works.
