And now that my week is over I am all sick. Runny nose, leaking eyes, headache, congestion, exhaustion. You name it, I have it. And I can’t take an anti-allergy medicine cause I am still nursing so I am not allowed. Woe is I.
The little one has a drippy nose too so I get a lot of this.
But thankfully, also, some of this.
And reaching for out of reach toys is his very favorite activity.
After we went to get David, I emptied his lunchbox and he drank water from his bottle which, of course, Nathaniel wanted to do, too. So after a lot of strong encouragement from me, he let him. Love seeing these photos.
I know all about looking up to an older sibling.
And another day is done and so is the first week of school. Save for several instances of recess punching, he seems to be loving every moment of it. I am trying to help him and watch out for him while not being insane. The instinct to preserve, protect and worry is very strong. Very. But I am working on it.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that this weekend is a quiet one. I am too sick to even think about doing anything.
2. I am grateful that I fulfilled many of my upcoming commitments so I can relax a bit and catch up on everything else for a day or two.
3. I am grateful that we’ve survived the first week. I am hoping and estimating that it will get easier.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. making friends on the school bus. (he made friends with some second graders)
2. going to the office at the school.
3. daddy.
Recess punching? Yes, it will get better and so will you. You will fall into a new routine and things will roll smoothly. At least you don’t have to worry about snow and all that that entails!
true that. but we do have a lot of rain too. and thankfully the punching seems to have ceased for now!
