The Weekend is Near! And it's a Long One!
It’s a long weekend coming up and you’re getting over your first illness (we’re not counting your recent immunization-related fever nor the cold you’ve had just before Christmas when you had incredibly loooooooooooooong ribbons of snot hanging out of your nose for an entire week and had problems with the boob ‘cause you couldn’t breathe through your nose, hence making it difficult to eat and breathe at the same time) – anyway, you seem to have caught the same stomach bug I’ve had for the last few days and I know it’s not a fun one, let’s just leave it at that. Hopefully you’ll be over it by tomorrow morning, or better yet tonight as we’ve got another daycare thingy to check out. And then another one tomorrow morning and then we’re off to see Oma and Grumpy and some of the assorted aunties and uncles and cousins out in the countryside for the weekend.
Are you excited yet? I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to contain yourself if only you knew what was up, but as it is, you’ll just have to wait and see. Sometimes I wonder how you babyfreaks put up with this sort of thing – getting put in the car when really you want to play rather than go who knows where to do who knows what. Must be confusing, but you’ve been doing a stellar job of just going with the flow. I think you’re a pretty laid back baby, though Papa disagrees with that assessment. And he may be right… since you can also be incredibly prone to temper-tantrums every time you happen to disagree with something, or just think you might disagree with though you really don’t.
I guess maybe what I’m hoping for is that yes, you are on an even keel overall, and that for now, we’re just experiencing your early onset toddlerfreakishness. Even Oma M. who, as you know, claims to know all about babies (and everything else for that matter) was in awe of your full-fledged tantrums, including banging your head into the nearest hard suface, gesticulating with hands and feet, throwing your entire body around and complaining loudly. I must admit it’s fun to watch, but can be slightly annoying at times.
Anyway, I’m glad to be getting a break from work – what with the donkeys around here and all – and everyone will be happy to see you. Now I just have to make it to 4:00 and get out of here and I’ll get to see you and Papa, woo hoo!
