A Successful Friday

Tummy Time

Today was another day with Sydney & Jason home together & it went well. Yesterday from the time that I picked Sydney up from daycare until the time Brad got home from work, she was a little pill when it came to me trying to do anything for Jason. So, I was not looking forward to our Friday together. Then I was rather worried about how the day would shape up when I woke this morning & felt like crap. I went to bed last night with a headache & knew it was a bad sign when I was dreaming about trying Exedrin (sp?) rather than Advil. But thankfully the headache went away after some breakfast & coffee helped the tiredness (Jason was up at 4am, not 5:45am- although he had essentially been sleeping since 5pm so I cannot complain).

I don't know if it is coincidence or not, but before Jason woke up I had a talk with Sydney about how she could help me out today. I told her that Jason needs a lot of help from Mommy & that Sydney could be a big help to Mommy if she would do as Mommy asks when Mommy is with Jason. Well, we had a day with no tears or tantrums from Sydney & she essentially did everything I asked all day. I consider that a huge success. Especially when Jason woke Sydney from her nap much before she was ready to get up because he was crying trying to get settled into his nap.

Each week gets better, so next week should be better than this week. Although next week Grandma & Papa are watching Jason so that Sydney can go to a Halloween party at a nursing home with her friends Ellie & Emma.

Prior to waking Sydney up from her nap with his crying, Jason was a very happy little fellow. See they make cute clothes for boys too. I think this little shirt is very cute with his trendy jeans.

Jason's new thing is exploring his hand with his mouth, but he quite often is trying to ram the whole thing in his mouth.

Since Sydney got woken up too early from her nap, she got to have "quiet time" lying on the courch & watching "Comfy Couch". I've never watched this program with her before & thought it was the first time she had seen it, but when it was over she told me that "Comfy Couch" was over...so I am wondering where she has seen it before.
