I Shouldn't Have Said Anything

Cathy, thank you for the wonderful books for Mason!! We loved them...as usual!! And the wrapping was a nice touch!

We are wrapping up our school stuff...and I was going to end with a worm unit study..but maybe a unit on explosives could work as well?

I was just reading about the delayed schedule of shots for children with allergies. There are a lot of similarities between pet dogs and children...that is crazy. But you are not a Crazy Dog Lady.


Well, since my last comment...Maddox hasn't slept. Not going to bed until 10:00 or later, needing to be rocked to sleep, getting up every 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours and staying up for hours, not napping more than 20 minutes or so and waking up not so happy. It is either from the wildrice I have been eating the last few days, or the 2 boxes of chocolate chip cookies I ate (there are only 12 in the box and they are as big as a tablespoon...no exaggaration and they have no allergens in them...the chocolate is even milk free) It is so frustrating with all the food stuff...because you just never know. He could also be teething. Seems like when one thing clears up for him...another one starts. Poor guy.

So tonight we were trying to put him down for the night and he was very upset. Craig was up with him and Maddox was inconsolable...which is unusual for him..so I went up to help, took Maddox and he stopped crying immediately, looked at Craig and smiled. Yep.

He is now laying on the living room floor playing, babbling, blowing raspberries and laughing...but at least happy. He is saying "baabaa" now and when upset he does say a sort of "maaamaaamaaa" .

Well, I think am going to lay on the living room floor and go to sleep next to him. It is almost 10:00. We are trying to get him to sleep in the crib at night...but no go. He is WAY to big for the bassinet..looks like a giant...but we didn't want to put him in Mason's room until he was sleeping a bit at night. But, it is time. Mason will have to sleep in our room for a couple of nights on an air mattress until Maddox gets used to the crib at night. He does fine for naps though (when he naps)

Take Care!!

Unreal. At least as the Crazy Dog Lady, I get some sleep.....except when the dog is on Prednisone. =)

You guys need a break....

The break will come in about 18 years and even that's iffy. Guess it's no more cookies for you, Jolee. Poor Maddox. Maybe if the weather ever warms up the fresh air will tire him out.
Good hearing about the
Adventures of Mason and Maddox.
Worms sounds like a good project--then you could start a compost pile.
