Andrew took two extra shifts after being off for 4 days. It's nice that he will have 4 days this week as aposed to 2. I can't believe how often people have been calling off and calling Andrew to cover their shifts! The think that annoys me most about it, is we only have one car, and he doesn't even run it by me first before taking them. What if I had something planned for his day off like taking the baby to the doctor??! I shouldn't be complaining because it's money, and it's the opposite of what I have been usually complaining about (him not getting full time.)
Just now, there was silence, and I saw one of the dogs walk by, so I jumped up and ran to see where Hayden was, and he had opened the lock on the doggy door, let himself out, and went all the way up the hill to his little tikes car and was sitting in it. Luckily my sister was up there.
This is the second time he has done this. DUCK TAPE!
Andrew and I are kind of pondering the thought of NOT having a wedding, and since we are already married, maybe just wait until he get's full time and then try for a baby. If that's the case, we will be trying sooner rather than later! I really want to have a big family wedding, but at the same time, I kind of want to skip all of that and just go straight to the baby thing. My mom's business isn't doing well anyways, so she can't really afford it right now.
I heard a really cute story about weaning off of bottles the other day. My neighbor told me that when it was time to get rid of them, on Christmas, they had their daughter gather up all of the bottles and put them in a basket and told her that baby Jesus needed them, and Santa would take them to him. Apparently, she did fine with it, and is 3 now (this was at 2yrs) and had no issues and still talks about giving her bottles to baby Jesus. Hahah. Too bad Hayden will be 2 right smack in the middle of summer. I'm back and forth on the idea of getting rid of them. I feel like I'm taking away his babyhood because he's not talking a lot yet and still seems like a baby instead of a toddler. Not like Caelin. She's 2 going on 30 and blows everyone away. I want to get rid of them though because he's waking up in the middle of the night a lot asking for a 'baba' sometimes 2-3 times and won't go back to sleep unless he get's one. That just started when we moved into the new house. I don't know if the regression was from anxiety from new surroundings or what but he was taking one bottle before bed before.
I had a blast with my mom last night and this morning, but I'm glad to be home with my baby and husband. I missed sleeping next to my snoring rock.
Try replacing bottles at night with sippys? And you can always tell him when he turns two that his bottles turned into big boy cups :)
ReplyDeleteI think that's what I want to do. Wait until he's old enough to understand me telling him something like that. I did try the sippy thing. He just flips out and throws it.
