From hearts to molars: Back to daily life

I’m hiding out… in my room…chugging coffee and waiting for the next interaction with my little monster…

Moms will understand, Summit is cutting his molars. He is grumpy and miserable. He only wants to eat cheerios.

He is FINE until he sees me, then he turns into a snotty mess! WHY?! It’s almost hilarious actually. (well, not after 2 days of this) He is watching “Wonder Pets” or something on Nickelodeon. Thank God for the TV. I was one of those people who was NEVER going to let my kid watch TV. I guess if that my goal I should have gotten RID of the TV, b/c the mesmerizing calmness that comes over Summit while the blue screen is flickering is too tempting for me to resist.

I’m suppose to go to lunch with Jacqueline… I better cancel… again… I was looking forward to adult time, darn it! :)

He’s talking in a grumpy way in the other room. It reminds me of a king wondering where his servants are. He’ll make a loud noise, like he’s asking a question, then pause, and I’m sure look for me. He dumped the Cheerio box over, scattering the little O’s like the sand over the invisible pathway on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Sigh. Now fueled by a caffeine high I go face my monster…

    Well that just sounds delightful. I can picture him grumbling in the other room. Pacify, pacify! is all I would think! So I don’t think your a bad mom because he’s watching TV. Mom let us occasionally so if she did…I’m sure your fine :)
    Granted…it was fuzzy and on a tiny screen…and had 5 channels…if we were lucky :)

    Too funny! “We” watched our first Baby Einstein video yesterday because “we” needed a break too. I think a little tv doesn’t hurt, but we haven’t hit teething yet so we’ll probably be watching more. :)
