One of his favorite words

"No, I don't wanna sing!" - when I have told him we will not sing before bed because he didn't listen.
"No, I don't wanna read!"- when I have said that we will not be reading a book because he threw a fit.
"No, I don't want cover!" - when I covered him up and kissed him goodnight
"No, you no say no to me!"- when we tell him no to something he wants
"No, I don't wanna play!" - when I told him that his friends are coming and he better take a good nap if he wants to play!

He spent an hour last night in and out of time out. Crying and pleading with us to talk to him and let him out, to hug him and for us to be happy. Yes, he asks us if we are happy, when clearly he knows we are upset. If he knows that we aren't happy he tries to make us happy. The smallest thing set him off last night, it was as simple as his new shoes not fitting and us saying that we had to take them back. He was mad because he wanted to wear them. He ended up going to bed with no bath, no book and no singing!

It honestly broke my heart to see him cry and listen to him cry out our names and want us to talk to him and hug him. It's funny how one week he can act wonderful and the next week he is a totally different kid. This has been a hard week.

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
