- E has two teeth on the bottom and the top FOUR are working on their appearance.
- Speaking of teeth, I have proof that your toothbrush makes a difference. My Dentist had given me a new type of toothbrush that I used for the requisite three months. That whole time I noticed more mysterious staining and teeth that just didn't feel as clean. Now that I'm back with my good old Oral-B, the stains have disappeared, and my teeth feel slick again.
- I'm really enjoying the book series, "Dealing with Dragons." (Thanks Jen!) It's rare that I like each book more than the last, but that is happening with these.
- I also read, "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" and found it enjoyable and sensible. A funny side note is that my family has been handing down a lot of Dr. Karp's wisdom for years but not in such a tidy package. He always says he uses information from how people have raised their babies in times past as inspiration, and I guess that's true! It's just that so many people these days don't have a family history or lots of help around.
- I miss my family. When I was home, I felt like me. I relaxed into my role as mother and found peace. It was like the final chapter in my healing. It felt like "real life" for some weird reason.
- When Hub and I were at BWI, he looked at me and said, "Let's just stay."
- I truly think if we could sell the house, it would be a very viable option to move closer to family again.
- Nice thing is, we will have a LOT of family visiting over the next 3 months.
- We may go a little crazy, and I may be very much less available, but it's still nice.
- At work the other day, I was talking to a customer about her beautiful little girl with Asperger's syndrome. We were discussing fun things for kids to do in the area - especially sensitive children. I mentioned a few things, and she said, "I wanted to, but my husband didn't. You know men." She repeated that a few times. I thought to myself, "Actually, luckily I don't. Hub is wonderful that way. He loves to do the things E would enjoy. He throws himself into being his Daddy and enjoys it whole heartedly when the baby is happy." It was nice to think about.
- An Older Version had a wonderful post recently about the struggle with accepting how people see you differently as a Mother. I agree that many gift you with kindness that they didn't before. However, my struggle through work has been very different. I have been seen as less dedicated, my loyalty questioned and my worth dismissed. In my line of work, many people see having children as foolish and irresponsible and have no interest in babies. Therefore, I have felt gagged sometimes when it comes to talking about him. Even the women who do have children seem to feel the need to "tow the line" and prove that they are "tougher" than the average mother. Quite frankly, it's frustrating and disgusting.
- At the same time, many of them are very quick to judge how much you love your child. Ridiculous.
- It's good to remember that everyone's experiences are different.
- I hope you've enjoyed my story bullets.
- Bring on the Christmas!!!!
