Nice and quite, so I thought we was
probably asleep. Went upstairs to return doggie to him and find
him sitting in his bed covered in Purel. He climbed on top of
the dresser, brought it back to his bed, and soaked everything.
Sooo angry! I changed him and all of his bed stuff (bye bye
blanket) and he screamed and kicked. I put him back in bed and
walked out. He screamed some more. I sat outside his door
listening to him throw his toys and started reminding myself
that anger breeds anger. After I calmed myself down I went back
in and he ran over saying “hurt self. kiss it make it better.”
So I kissed him all over and hugged him and told him that the
sooner he takes a nap the sooner he can come downstairs. We
cuddled and chatted for a few minutes and he laid down in his
bed with a new toy and blanket and closed his eyes. I came down
and turned the monitor off for awhile. And I’m forever grateful
that Eve is an easy, peaceful baby!

Some days are great, others…. I had to
confiscate doggie today in an effort to get Lex to settle down
and take a nap. He stood at his door crying “doggie, want
doggie” for about 5 minutes. It sucked. Then he started playing
with his toys again!! I just went up now to warn him that his
blanket is next. I’m such a mean mommy!! But it’s 2:15 and he
is overtired and still awake… and noisy!! Always noisy these
days. If he’s not asking questions, which is good from a
developmental standpoint and usually fun and cute, but when
he’s not asking questions he usually just making noise. Blah,
blah, alala, ohohloo, etc. Also good developmentally, I know,
but sometimes you just wanna say “shut up for a minute!” I know
this is payback ’cause I’m pretty sure I did the same thing to
my mom. Sorry mom!!!
