Nothing like a good cry
I just put Lizzie down for a nap and we've been battling it out lately, she doesn't fall asleep for a good 45 minutes after I put her down. I just tucked her in and was walking away from the door when I heard a big thump and she started crying. She had slammed her head against the wall. Obviously I went in there and hugged her and walked her around the room a little but I was also thinking- there is nothing like a good hard cry to send a toddler off to sleep and sure enough she is now fast asleep. Sweet! (did I just say sweet over my child banging her head)
Julia is rolling around the office eating a piece of paper (wow, maybe someone ought to call children's services)
We had her head ultrasound yesterday. They didn't tell us anything of course but we really aren't expecting anything since her blood tests were all fine. I'll be interested to see how reassured our pediatrician is on Monday. She's not the overreacting type and I'm pretty sure the tests were just precautions. For those of you counting that's 3 times to TC Thompson in one week. 2 tests for Julia and Lizzie checking to see if her barrettes were edible.
I did lots of shopping this morning even though I've been stuck at home without a car. It's actually the way to go since it's easier to shop in my pjs on the couch versus bundling the kids up and taking them out. We have Andy's brother done which is a miracle since he is hard to shop for, and he gets really good gifts for us. Thank goodness for Amazon wish lists, I highly recommend them. I also have my dad and his family almost finished. That box should be shipped to WA by friday. With each thing finished the stress is definitely less. I wish it wasn't like this but I have been extremely stressed out this month. I'm not sure if its the money thing or just trying to get a great gift for everyone. I wanted so badly to really teach Lizzie about the meaning of this time of year and being a stress pot is not a good example. Good thing she's 2, I have a couple more years to get it straightened out. Then I'll be the PERFECT mom! Whatever!
I often think that during the day, "I hope she's too young to remember any of this." Well, maybe not everyday, but I do think it. I certainly don't want to look back in 10 years and think, man I totally should have just relaxed. But I know that its my destiny.
