Little man FINALLY went to bed at a decent time tonight. I was able to quit singing around 9:10 pm. Almost an hour and 1/2 earlier than usual. After last night I badly needed it. Yesterday was a little ridiculous. I drove around with him for one full hour hoping he'd fall asleep; not my son. Then we came back to the room where he kicked me, smacked his head into mine or screamed out for another hour until he finally gave up (10:30 pm). Then he tossed and turned until 4:30 a.m. and fought sleep with me until 7 am.. What a night! I was cursing the hotel room for those 2 1/2 hours. Hotels and babies just don't mix. Today was a better day. We bought a bunch of freezer meals, waffles, frozen veggies you can steam in the bag, deli meat, bread, poptarts and other unhealthy food to replace eating out. I can not waste my money on another meal out. So we are microwaving food for the next week; woohoo! For any concerned parents or advocates for little man; he is eating jars of healthy, not so yummy, baby food. And an occasional snack. And I won't deny the fact that he has added "candy" to his vocabulary. One thing we have discovered is the kid is not picky. He'll eat anything from vegetables to Mexican food (dipping his chips in salsa over and over again).
Life is good! Sorry for those of you unfortunate enough to have to listen to my "venting" on the phone. Thank You; you are keeping me sane!
Sweet, a mullet! You are a strong woman to admit to it. I had the same discovery about 3 weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about eating badly for a short time. You will love the memories later...much later.
