Max and i had to skip yoga yesterday as he has a good ol fashioned cold. i thought his irritability Sunday night was the polyester pajamas (who knows; dr sears says it might be a reason) then the drippy nose and cranky baby showed it’s ugly head monday morning and away we go. so back to motrin and tylenol around the clock. it’s now thursday and the worst of it is over, but the snot keeps coming, at least he is back to himself for the most part. i thought i was being considerate to keep him away from the other kids, playground, story time etc, until my mother said pretty much “who cares?”
….well, as i thought about it, yeah, he may as well give it back to where he got it!! except that when i see snot nosed kids i freak out inside and think “what an inconsiderate mother, how can she just bring her child out like this, teething my ass, your kid is sick!” So we went to the playground and he had a fabulous time. Poor kid, we walked by it yesterday and he whined and pointed because we weren’t stopping!
as i finish up this post, my little beast awakens…so must adjourn.
And a final shot out to Daddy who is on an easy month at work!! he actually comes home in a timely fashion and can sneak away earlier too. no worries though, if you add up all the cumulative hours for the year, he has put in his fair share of 80hours/week! He also is presenting a poster on some neurology thing, incidence of depression in early parkinson’s, or something like that….at the fall meeting of the American Neurology Association. too bad the meeting is nearby in DC and not someplace cool like seattle.
ok, i hear binkies getting tossed over the side of the crib…
this last shot is just so sweet, he must have just gotten up from a nap, he never looks that angelic and calm on his changing table!
