I feel like I have been MIA on the blog front - sorry folks. Life just gets in the way! Lets see, we have been trying to get out of the house at least once every day...Logan just seems to get bored if we just hang around the house and now that he is trying to only nap once a day that makes it more difficult to keep him entertained. Speaking of naps that whole thing has me confused! We were right on track doing so well and of course that is when things change....always ;)
So I still put him down at 10 or 11 am and then again at 2-3 pm. But sometimes he sleeps and sometimes he plays. Even if he misses his morning nap he will only sleep 1 hour maybe an hour and a half which seems not a lot to go from 7 am - 7 pm with only 1 hour nap! I know every baby is different so maybe he doesn't require that much sleep during the day. But Mama is exhausted!!!
I started Bloom back (was Moms n More last year) which is a bible study at Fellowship Church for Mamas! It is Uh-Mazing....we were all so excited to go back and get inspired. We are reading "Parenting is Heart Work" and I think it will be fantastic. But, Logan was not too thrilled to be in the nursery for 2 hours. When I dropped him off it was INSANE as there are over 200 women and kiddos this year!!! There were 3 kids crying in his room so he immediately started crying when I handed him over the door. Poor little guy :( I had to help a friend get her child to his classroom because she just had surgery and he was in the same class as Logan. Logan didn't see me but I could see him from the window next to the door and it about broke my heart. He was very upset crying and crawling to try to find a teacher to hold him but all the teachers were busy holding other kids and getting people checked in....I had to vacate immediately before I had a breakdown! I know he will be okay but it really upset me that he was so upset and no one could comfort him :(
So when we picked them back up he was fine - playing thank goodness! But when we got home he was dying of thirst and gobbled up so much food it was crazy - he also downed a whole cup of milk and lots of water which he NEVER does so I thought maybe they didn't offer a snack and something to drink which I specifically told them he would need a snack/drink that I packed. It didn't look like any was gone from what I packed. Humph. I know it was the first day but it didn't leave me feeling confident about this nursery. I will obviously give it more time but luckily Trey is off some Tuesdays so he can watch him too.
Stinker :)
inspecting a piece of avocado...mushed it and licked it before making a face and that was it...
He laughs every time you get ice from the freezer!
MDO is going okay - we love them but he is having problems getting used to the drop off. In fact Thursday he started crying from the moment we walked into the room. He has never done that. I hugged him and handed over his bag and left sort of quickly but it was too much for him. I called to check in after an hour and he was in and out of crying fits. He basically didn't calm down until lunchtime when he got into his highchair and ate lunch. But they said it was on and off so they didn't see a need for me to come get him. He would play then almost realize I wasn't there or that he should be upset so he would cry again. I brought his two favorite books and those didn't even help he just pushed them away. But I guess what works at home doesn't work everywhere.
So he did eat ALL of his lunch - hooray! The first time there he has eaten more than a few bites! Then he played in his crib and fell asleep for 25 min. They said they always have to rub his back to get him to fall asleep which we never do at home but I think its because he is in a weird room with PEOPLE! He is in a dark quiet room at home so totally different situation. He was fine when I picked him up so that was good! Oh another thing to note is that one of the things he does for comfort is chew on my hair and lightly pinch my neck - both of which are not the most comfortable...so I try to distract but usually when I pick him up the teachers talk to me for a little while and he does it the whole time... interesting!
He was loving brushing these boogie wipes on the air grates. He did this for a long time :)
He cracks me up - he really tries to make us laugh and its so cute!! He is such a sweet little boy but does have a temper and will let you know when things aren't going his way. But I wouldn't have him any other way - I love spending my days with him watching him learn and grow - and one of my favorite things is when he pulls out a book and comes to sit in my lap for me to read it too him. Ahhhh melts my heart :)
