In baby news, Theo finally drank regular milk! Hopefully now it means it less will wind up everywhere else. He also drank juice from a sippy cup willingly today! This all sounds very mundane to anyone else, but since I took away the formula, it has been a struggle to get any liquids in this little man.
As I type this, I am trying to get him to bed. This is always a tricky time. I put him in his crib, and at first he resisted, but then happily starting playing with toys. But then I made a huge mistake...I looked at him. Eye contact was made. Whenever I make this mistake, I feel as horrified as Orpheus and Eurydice. Because as soon as I make contact, he started screaming. He remembered, oh she is trying to put me to bed, I am in bed, Arggh! Waaah! Tantrum! If you ever, have a child, resist the temptation.
I gave in and let him out of bed. Now he is hugging my chair, and holding onto my shirt. Adorable!
I will leave today's post on a hilarious note from a scummy man (on OkCupid):
Hi,
Would you ever consider getting together with a married man?

Wow, Mark, nice pickup line. My response was simply: No.
Going back to work when you have a child is DIFFICULT. It took me 10 months to get out there!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that he's taking liquids! He's a cute little man!
Call me a softy, but I cuddle my daughter to sleep every night. I don't think I've ever put her in bed and waited for her to pass out. It's a horrible habit, but the way I look at it is that in a few short years, she's going to be locking her door and not talking to me, so while she still wants to be around me, I will cuddle her to her little heart's content, haha. Then again, I AM a super softy. Keep up the hard work. It's more than I can do. =D
