Sick Days

I've finally gotten back to blogging today and I'm never sure how long its going to last. Most of the time it's just because I'm busy and blogging is always low enough on the priority list that I don't get to it. That isn't to say I don't want to do it since I do! There's just been too many different things to get done in a day.

Today my little one has a pretty bad cold and although it has resulted in some days where I feel completely frazzled, he's doing well. He's able to sleep for the most part which is good because about a week ago at this time he wasn't. We finally made the switch to a "big boy" bed and he didn't take to it very well. Bedtimes were fine, but naps have been another story. He's able to get out of the bed but doesn't yet know how to get back in, so we have to put him back in every time. We also had to remove the lamp from the room because he was having a ball turning the light switch on and off.

I certainly don't want to convey a "woe is me" attitude since overall the boy has done amazingly well with transitions like this. It just takes up a lot of time and weekdays it's just me. I've fallen behind on sleep for sure which doesn't help the situation, but his tolerance has always been an inspiration to mine. I really do want to get back on track with projects, like the Zen Room, which is currently full of carpeting I had to pull up from the kitchen (yes, you read that correctly). Let's just say that carpeting and kids eating don't mix very well, so that became a priority.

The boy is waking up from his nap in a coughing fit, so I'll end here. Hopefully I still have some readership left out there. ;)
