Lest I sound too positive, let me complain a little. Bathtime with David the last couple months has been a nightmare. Here’s how it usually goes…
-I take a deep breath and gear up for a struggle. I tell myself, “I can handle this. Just stay calm.”
-We enter the bathroom and start the warm water running. David begins to cry.
-He fusses while I undress him but REALLY gets mad once I put him in the water.
-He is screaming and arching, I’m trying to wash him as quickly as I can and hold onto his soapy body.
-I pull him out and try to dry him off, By this point I am soaked, his reflux is acting up and I am yelling at Matty to stop splashing water all over the bathroom.
*sigh* To end on a positive note, I have to say, I love a clean, yummy David in striped jammies with monkey slippers.

Feels like it’s time for a giveaway!

What makes you feel loved? Leave us a comment and I’ll choose a winner for a new ‘love birds’ necklace. Wouldn’t it be sweet to have you & your sweetie’s names stamped on the pendant?

rain, rain, won’t you stay? i don’t mind getting wet while i play.

totally posed, but who cares!

We’ve been visiting with family and having a wonderful time, but now we are home and MAN it is a wreck and I have to get it to a better state so I can function!

I took David to the pediatrician this morning (thanks for your sweet comments!). He feels like it a viral thing and just a stubborn one, so we are going to wait another week and see if he can shake it before we try antibiotics. I don’t want to put him on antibiotics unless we absolutely have to.

I am trying to wrap up all the pre-Christmas orders (when I’m not holding David!) and then I’ve got some fun new things to show you! Happy what-day-is-it?, oh yeah, Thursday!

my little walker. walk right over to your daddy and give him a hug. little silly heart. why are you so sad, and congested and up all night?? mommy is tired and i want my happy boy back! tomorrow we’ll visit the doctor and see what he has to say.

get organized, cook one new recipe a week, take more walks, be okay with ME. what are your goals for the new year?
