she must be kidding…

I’m telling ya… making it the rest of the year with my son’s teacher may be the death of me. That **BEEP** JUST gave out the spelling bee list of words to study. The spelling bee is THIS Saturday!!!! THIS Saturday. As in… 4 days away!! Most teachers give that out a month or more in advance so kids can study. In fact… some give it to EVERYBODY and then they all just study words and pick the three for the spelling bee when the time comes. It’s good practice for all of them. I need some pills….. I’m going to lose it.

In baby news…

He had to have a shot yesterday. He was having fun playing with all the toys in the waiting room…. and then…. the nurse came around the corner and said “HI Carter! Come see me!” I shit you not… that kid took off running out the doorway (there’s no door on the room we were in) and headed straight for the front doors of the building! haha I think he remembered her from last time. We made it through with a few tears from both of us, as usual. And I learned he hates bandaids. At least, he hates them being ON HIM. He must be the only kid in the world who doesn’t like bandaids.

more recipe

Okay I can’t quit thinking about the e-mail from her. Is she yelling at me?? Or is it an excited thing?? I received a one sentence e-mail back saying… she’s found the recipe and will print it off so everyone has a copy for their recipe book. It was followed with an exclamation point. That’s all she said. No hi, no thanks, not signed Ms. (blank). So is she yelling at me?? Did I just totally piss her off? I have no idea, but it’s really bugging me. I guess I’ll just send a nice Thank You note back, thank her for her time and for adding his recipe to the CLASS recipe book. Okay…. so maybe I should capitilize class?? (hehe) See… this is so me, I’m going to end up saying something. HELP!! I’m calling my Zia, she’ll tell me what to say in a thank you back. Because right now I’m going crazy, like I explained the other day.

My e-mail to her this morning said…. Good Morning (Yes I put that little smiley guy behind that in my e-mail, cuz I’m nice and sweet like that, haha) Just checking in on this. (Of course the rest of our e-mails are still are there, I just replied again) Thanks, (My name)

finally!!

The recipe will be added to the book, she said to ALL books. Me being who I am… I REALLY want to let her know I was disapointed over the entire issue from the beginning. BUT…. I suppose I should just let it be huh? I wonder if the other parents did anything or said anything? Part of me just feels I should be able to speak my mind and let her know why I wanted the recipe so bad and why this was a problem from the beginning. BUT… I’ll leave it alone. Ooooo this is going to be REALLY hard for me. (My man is reading this right now, shaking his head uh-huh, knowing this will be hard for me! haha)

recipe issue update

I e-mailed the teacher again this morning, just  a little reminder e-mail to ask her WTF is up! haha Kidding. It was a nice, I’m just checking in, e-mail. I’ll update again later. The last time I e-mailed her and asked was the 2nd and she’s done NOTHING since then. She’s kind of like that, I’m actually not sure how to explain her. But I’ll keep you posted.

back to the sleep talk

I just saw the weirdest thing ever. My little man had crawled up into my lap and fallen asleep (which is weird in itself, cuz he just never does that – but that’s not the weird part I’m talking about). I cuddled him for quite some time and then moved him to the couch where I thought he’d be more comfortable. He slept for maybe 15 minutes (which has been typical lately) and then woke, crawled off the couch, walked into his bedroom (didn’t make a peep mind you), pointed into his crib wanting me to get his pillow (thank goodness I was right there when he got off the couch), which I grabbed along with some more blankets not sure where he was planning on sleeping next and we went back to the living room where I laid the blankets down and he laid down and went back to sleep. Is he sleepwalking?!

At night he plays musical beds also, but it’s going from the floor (where he starts out sleeping), to the couch sometimes (last night I actually caught him sleeping standing next to the couch with his head laid on the couch next to me, maybe he tried waking me up and I didn’t wake?) or sometimes into bed with his Dad. Some nights he’ll end after those few moves and decide being in the bed is a-okay. Other times this continues for at least half the night. He usually seems to sleep best for about the first hour of sleep, maybe 8:30 to 9:30, and then in the wee morning hours, 3 or 4 am til 6:30 or 7 am.

At first I thought maybe he was having night terrors, but he settles down with us holding him or laying by him. Sometimes the settling down part involves the bathroom fan, as usual! ACK! That damn fan, I don’t know what we’d do without that thing.

So then  I thought maybe just nightmares, which he maybe still could be having. BUT…. then after today! I’m wondering if he’s sleepwalking. The weird thing is, he made NO noise today. He makes noise at night, whether it be whimpering/whining or crying hard, he makes noise. So maybe it was just some really weird thing and he was awake and just didn’t have to make noise because I got what he needed right away (and he let me know what he needed right away by leading the way).

I have NO idea what to do with this sleepless little boy. Morning are usually pretty hard because he’s so tired still. I have been getting him to lay down for naps IN his own bed, but today he curled up with me and it was so cute and comfy I let him stay. After he has that nap he’s good for quite some time. Afternoons around 3 or 4 get difficult sometimes. I think he needs another small cat nap then, but no other daycare kids take naps then which means he just can’t settle down and sleep knowing they are all moving about.

A little update on talking, he’s starting to talk WAY more. Every once in a while we even get a two word “sentence”. His climbing is proving to be a challenge every day. I can’t even go to the bathroom anymore without worrying (so usually he goes with me in the bathroom) that he’s walking around on the counter digging in cupboards or climbing my dresser, which I’m terrified is going to tip over on top of him. He’s such a busy boy. And the way he says what sound the kitty and the sheep make are the cutest things ever!

Update on big brother. He’s in the spelling bee again!! WOOT!! 4 years in a row people!! 4 years!!

Baby just woke and he’s the happiest little man again Aaaah the joy of him taking a small nap.
