This week is Winter Break for my school district which means I get to be home with my little buddy all week! I give stay at home moms a lot of credit, it's exhausting! Tommy's at a stage where he wants everything in his eye sight: remote, my phone, computer, my soda bottle, his toys, the boppy, his jumperoo, his bouncy chair, the rug, the dog, the cat, the mail, etc. He wants them all RIGHT NOW but don't you dare just hand them to him, he wants to get them himself. But he can't crawl yet. He can only spin around in circles on his belly. If he can't quite reach whatever it is that he wants, he gets very frustrated.
It becomes a constant game of redirection. Hey Tommy! Look at this! Ok, you're bored with that? Look at this! Reach for this! Don't hit it out of your reach! On, and on, and on. He has also decided that naps are for suckers. I have a hard time getting him to lay down and end up nursing him to sleep, something that I know daycare never has to do! Then he stays asleep for about 20 minutes and is up and ready to go again!
I know part of this is his teeth. One has pushed its way through but there is at least one more close to breaking through, if not 3 more. His first to break through is his bottom right tooth. The bottom left tooth is right there and the top two look dangerously close too! Poor guy.
He's also not sleeping great at night. He had been sleeping straight through from 7:30-4:30 then some days going back down somethings being up at that time. Not fun but at least no getting up several times. The last few nights we're back to getting up 3 times a night BUT he's been sleeping until 6:30 or 7. Who knows. I've stopped trying to figure him out. He'll straighten out eventually!
Ok, Little Dude has had enough of the Jumperoo. I better go get him and start playing!
