It will be a shorty post today. The kids and I got to sleep in a bit this morning, which was lovely. The weather, as I’m sure you all know, is crummy and cold and wet. I awoke to a layer of snow again, which I’m finding more and more difficult each and every time. But such is life, and we did our day. Dekker recently got tired of oranges so we stopped buying those little mini mandarins for him. But I bought regular oranges and I finally convinced him to eat one this morning. “Its juicy” was all I had to say, and he was sold. And sooo disappointed when it was over! However, we’ve recently learned that Dekker is likely allergic to/irritated by tomatoes, so I didn’t allow him to have any more acid, which he desperately wanted. It was sad.
He played well all afternoon and so did Laela. She had a decent enough morning nap, and was out until about 1:00pm, maybe 1:30pm. I’m not positive.
She has been up since. She would not have an afternoon nap. She would cry and cry until she could barely catch her breath. I’d go retrieve her and those big puffy red eyes from her bed, and cuddle her for a few minutes. The puff didn’t go down. She was wiped. But wouldn’t have it.
This was an extra fun dynamic to our evening with Dekker. He woke up from his nap at 6:00 and cried consistently until 7:00. Best evening ever. He was in bed fifty minutes later. It was just exhausting. Brady and I still have to eat, but that comes after we get Laela down, if its possible. Who knows.
I don’t want to just here and whine, and that is why the post will be short tonight. I know I’m not any more tired than any of you guys. The weather is a hard thing for me to overcome as well, so I’m gonna just call it a night on here 🙂 I’m looking forward to having Brady home tomorrow, so we can tag team. Yay for an indoor day all together. I think this calls for a musical!!!
Awwwwww … so many tears. I’m sorry 🙁 Hope tomorrow is a happy day.
Me too, haha
