Flying. Today Noah is two months old, and tomorrow I am 25. How does that work when he was born a few seconds ago? I feel like I am clutching sand here, folks. My husband and I have been married for almost four years, but that makes no sense to me since it feels like yesterday that I was stationed at Ft Drum and we were just starting to date. At the same time, I know that I have settled down so much since then. At that time, I couldn't go for a week without either taking a road trip, jumping out of an airplane, or climbing a cliff-face. My restlessness evaporated with every extra bit of responsibility that I took on. It had to happen and it was a good thing. I've never been this happy.
So updates. . .
-I can't keep clothing on my toddler. Every shirt is a battle, and pants? Forget it-- they're too easy to take off. Diapers will stay on if I'm lucky and if she's not telling me that she has to use the potty just so I take it off of her.My area rug may not survive her potty training.
-Noah is smiling a lot and even laughed this morning. He makes good eye contact and I take him to the doctor's next week and I'll find out how much he weighs. We've exclusively breastfed and have only come across minor hitches. The tip of his tongue is a little m-shaped (though he's not tongue-tied) and I think that this affects his latch. We've pretty much worked through it, though. He still cries quite a bit, but I THINK it's dying down.
-Roscoe is still naughty and the neighbor's kid is getting pet rabbits that he's keeping outside. Naturally, this is cause for concern.
-One cricket is still alive, and I have reason to believe that she ate the others. I think that Roscoe respects that and has thus chosen to let her live.
- I am reading Name of the Wind again and it still rocks my socks off.
- My husband gives me lusty thoughts (sorry if it's TMI, but this IS my blog)
He is so not 8 weeks and you are so not going to be 25. nope. i'm not buying it. ;)
ReplyDeletehow weird is it that i was excited to hear about the crickets too? lol. will it make a difference for Roscoe if the bunnies are kept in a high hutch? i have a feeling he is too cunning for this even..
aww! baby laughs! love those.
as for the potty training, i'm glad we have hardwood floors for the simple fact that they are easy to mop. Logan likes to just stand and pee wherever he may. ::eyeroll::
Lol! I am glad we're not the only ones cleaning our floors. Freud has an entire theory on how parents should be sensitive during potty training because insensitivity can cause insecurity that transfers over to the rest of the child's world. I am not into Freud, but I agree with that, yet it's been a struggle to maintain a sweet disposition while cleaning warm turds off of the floor!
ReplyDeleteRoscoe will get the bunnies, I have little doubt. Germans have tiny fences that they set up for their bunnies, then let them hop around until night time when they go in a hutch. There is only a strip of privacy fence separating where the bunnies will be from where Roscoe's run is. He's going to smell them every day until the fateful moment where he slips between my legs while I am bringing in groceries or wrestling the kids through the door. Time is like Roscoe: you can try to put it on a leash, but it will get away from you before you know it.
