houston, we have a problem.

so. yes, we have a problem. A has become very attached to his dad. it’s come to that point where some days he just screams his head off until M picks him up. it’s a bit frustrating.

i try to ignore it. but, my heart just aches everytime i try to console him and he just doesn’t want to be with me. it definitely is heartbreaking. it can’t be fun for M either. he’s got this sad little monkey after him all the time.

fortunately, he’s a happy camper when M is at work.

so is this little guy!

except for right now! i better go see what’s going on …

do you hear that?

silence.

they boys are asleep. finally! it’s been one of those days, where everything that can go wrong, does. on top of it all, it’s so hot in this house i’m sure i’ll melt away any second now.

4:30 this morning, my lovely son, A, wakes up. it’s awfully hot in their room and well, i’m not surprised. problem is, he refuses to go back to sleep. neither of us want to get up and for some reason i lost that fight. i get up, go downstairs, try to get this kid to calm down. i’m not a big fan of having my soon-to-be one-year-old scream in my ear at 4:30 am. the best part, when he’s starting to calm down, J wakes up.

Ugh!

well, the only thing that was keeping me sane was knowing that during their nap later that morning i would be able to sleep as well. hah! boy was i wrong. J dutifully goes to sleep during our morning walk, as does A. but just as i get back home A wakes up hysterical. yay! there goes my much needed nap. what do i do now?!

well, to make a long story short. i let J sleep for about an hour. wake him up. try to keep them both awake until 2 pm. i need to get me some earplugs. finally at 2:30 pm both are asleep. one upstairs in his bed, the other outside in the pram.

finally. wait, shhh … do you hear that?

silence.

Latte … a mother’s best friend!

Outside

Sleeping outside is so much better!
