More Ramblings About My Day

I had another decent morning at work. Today was a slower day. The most I had at once was 6 I think. A lot of kids come every other day, but a few come every single day. Of course a couple of those are the ones who are the worst behaved...coincidence? I think not. Although as it turns out, one of the kids who normally drives me nuts isn't bad at all when her big sister isn't there! I also had a sister and brother that I hadn't had yet. The little boy turned 6 months today, so it was his first time in the nursery since 6 months is the youngest they can be. He wasn't a happy camper at first either. I almost had to call mom back down, but he calmed down and played in a saucer. I did find it interesting though. Normally, Daniel doesn't care if I play with other kids or hold other kids, but he seemed a little put off that I was holding the crying baby for so long. He would come over and fuss at my legs like, "Mom! Put that baby down and hold me!" I sat him in my lap too, and that actually calmed the other little one down. Yay!

I'm feeling a little less guilty about taking him with me now. He seems to be getting the lay of the land and appears to be having a good time for the most part. Last night he stood without support for maybe 10 seconds. Today at work I caught him standing alone twice! Once had to have been for at least 15 seconds if not longer. I don't think he even realized it either. He was too busy examining a piece of play food. My baby is growing up so fast!

After we left I decided since Daniel seemed to be in a good mood that we would do the grocery shopping before going home. I made sure he had a snack before we went so that he wouldn't be screaming for food! He's always so good on our shopping trips. It makes me happy because I always get compliments about him. I hope as he gets older I can continue to instill good habits into him when we go out in public. Proud momma. :)

While we were out, Jacob called me to tell me he had a 101 fever and was on his way home. Sickness is kicking our butts around here. Daniel seems to be getting better. Jacob keeps getting better and then getting sick again. And I just stay sick. I haven't really taken anything for my cold other than Advil, but I finally caved and took some Robatussin today...and it feels like it's helping out some!

I try to be careful about what I take since I am still breastfeeding...but I needed some drugs. Speaking of that though...I bought Daniel milk for the first time today. I'm going to start introducing it. Judging by the way he's become SO picky lately, it may take awhile to get him used to it. Eventually I cut out the day feedings (although usually I only nurse once or twice during the day). I think I'll continue to nurse at night for awhile. Not forever, but he's still my baby! Maybe for a few months after his birthday. We'll see. Unless he self weans...which is okay too. It's funny when I think back. I used to feel like that's all I ever did was  nurse him ALL. THE. TIME. There were times in the beginning that I dreaded it. Now I cherish it. It's become a really special bond. I sure do love that kid!
