I admit it,
... all the mirrors in my house have tiny hand prints on them. Cleaning them off everyday isn't a priority for me, but he gets a kick out of touching them. I choose to see them as cute smudges and smile as I walk past.
... I contain my son for his safety. I push all our living room furniture together to make a play area. As long as he is happy and can't get into anything dangerous, I think it's okay. He gets to crawl & practice pulling up in a safe environment. Plus, I get to put away dishes without Isaac trying to swim in Roy's water bowl.

... I don't turn on the monitor for five minutes when I put him down to bed. This is as much for my sanity as it is for him to learn to put himself to sleep. I hate to hear him cry for us, but he needs to continue to put himself to sleep even in this separation anxiety phase.
... I have mixed feelings about stopping pumping. Today, June 1 is my last day pumping! With the freezer stores mixed with some formula, we'll be well over a year by the time we're finished.
... I didn't get around to writing my full birth story until now: http://reddoorbluesky.blogspot.com/2013/08/he-has-arrived.html. It's at the bottom of the post. I wanted it for posterity before I forget everything.

I love the furniture play pen! Cool and resourceful!
ReplyDeleteThe second picture of your profile is beautiful!
And you have done an amazing job feeding Isaac! Give yourself a pat on the back and a bottle of wine!
