Week 27

I think I can say its been a pretty good week. Even if Dylan is still getting over his cold, he's been happy and pretty settled.  We've even made the transition to 1 day sleep pretty easily which I'm kinda amazed by.  Our days at home where we tried the one sleep have resulted in some pretty big naps. Naps around 3 hours roughly, with one just yesterday for closer to 4 hours!! He had his first attempt of the one nap at daycare on Friday and it went great!! He was down for 3 hours and apparently all the carers were amazed. They said they kept going in to check on him and make sure he was still breathing as he was in such a deep and peaceful sleep. What a good lad!

Last night we had a birthday dinner out for Dylan's Pa. It was the first time we've taken him out for a while. I prepared by packing some snacks just in case there were some delays with dinner. And there were, so we did have a few tears and tanty's but a chunk of tasty garlic bread soon fixed that. We decided we would try ordering Dylan a meal from the kids menu. Great meal and great size, but where are the veggies???  What's up with kids meals and no veggies?? We added a few veggies from our plates, and he ate and ate and ate!! So all up he filled his belly with a handful of sultanas, half an arrowroot biscuit, a big slice of garlic bread, an entire kids meal of fish cocktails and chips, and veggies. He topped it off with a small slice of birthday cake a bit later!! What a garbage guts!! Ha ha

Week 34 Unfortunately things fell apart during the week.  I was hoping that we were all on the mend but it quickly became apparent that we weren't, and we went downhill quickly.  There's been more whinging and moaning and sleepless nights and day naps and the tissues... boxes and boxes of tissues.  It's just no fun.  When the sleepless nights turn into cranky days, you just lose your shit sometimes. You yell. You yell at anyone who's there. You say things I'm sure you wouldn't normally say if you were well.  And decisions, oh my god, why is it so friggin hard to make a decision??? Like what should we have for dinner? Or should I put that other load of washing on or will it piss down with rain?? This week I've really felt quite isolated.  On my own little sick island where nobody wants to go.  Some days you just wish you had that magic fairy that would come and get your shit done for you.  I've been so lethargic this week that makes it seem everything

We had to go do some grocery shopping one day this week.  I was wearing a new-ish dress and could not for the life of me work out which shoes to wear with it. So Dylan takes the opportunity to choose some from my wardrobe and model them around the bedroom for me!  Such a funny little man!  He even got them on the right feet!   A portrait of my son, once a week, every week in 2015 Shoes were fun for a minute or two... then back to his trains of course!   Joining in with Jodi and Project 52 .   Bel

Week 11 What can I say about this week??  Not much other than there has been a serious lack of sleep.  I can mostly blame this lack of shut eye on the weeny boy, but otherwise I only have myself to blame.  One night out with my girlfriends was the culprit on one of those occasions.  But it was such a fun night, no kiddies, no husbands, just a few hours of good girl gossiping and frivolity!  The next day, being a work day, no amount of concealer would hide the under eye bags. The only thing to do was dose up on coffee and get through the day.  It was good in theory, but after multiple coffees; more than I would normally drink, I was buzzing! I was still buzzing at about 3am the next morning... Not the way to get a good night's sleep. One piece of exciting news for the week was that I finally got my new digital SLR camera! Yippee!!  The bad news is... I don't know how to use it other than "Auto" mode which kinda defeats the purpose. Oh well... It's something new
