Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin’ all of the time…
Oh Monday, you’re killing me today. Our weekend was part great and part not great.
The great part? We got lots of fun and necessary things done, including buying a new ipad and having a little photoshoot at the house!
The not great part? It was in the triple digits all weekend and was just about too hot to do anything. I think the heat brought the crazies out in all of us. Case in point – Maxwell decided he didn’t want to sleep in his bed and he only wanted to sleep with me in the rocking chair. Goodness gracious. I have no idea where that came from as he’s always been the BEST sleeper and loves his bed. Over the past week, he’s wanted to rock for a just few minutes before going to sleep and I had no problem with that. I loved it actually. It was great snuggle time and, after a few times singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (or Tinkle as Maxwell says), he would ask to get in his bed and go on to sleep. Well, on Saturday night, he just decided that he wanted to rock and sing Tinkle all. night. long. I’ll spare you all the details but we dealt with SCREAMING crying for up to 45 minutes straight and I was in there at 7:30, 8:30, 9:30 pm and then again from 4:30 to 7:00 am. Maybe he’s just getting me all geared up for another newborn!? Goodness gracious indeed!
I decided to implement a firm “no rocking” policy from here on out because, clearly, you give him an inch and he takes a mile. Things went better on Sunday with only about 15 minutes of crying at nap time and only 30 minutes of crying at night time (of course, we’ve had zero crying for about a year so “better” is a relative term!)
Hopefully we’ll be back to normal sleep soon. I guess I should just be grateful that he’s been as good of a sleeper as he has been up until this point.
He did end up taking a great nap on Sunday so we thought we’d celebrate and beat the heat with a little cool treat…
Yum! And here’s some other iphone pics from the last few weeks…
Please note the bottom left picture with the pigtails I was able to give him before he got all his hair cut off! hilarious! My sweet buddy boy.
On another note, this ipad is really only 50% mine and 50% Maxwell’s. I got it mainly to entertain him on trips, etc. What are your favorite apps for the 2 year old set? Would love some ideas!
Hope you all are more well-rested on this Monday than I am!

Funny little guy with his pigtails and his mouth taped up! He’ll get back on his sleep routine soon – can’t wait for all of you to get to Naples1

Wish we had that tape for his mouth Saturday night!

Poor Maxwell. Poor Mommy and Daddy! Heat and teething make for some difficult days, er…weeks. Hope those cuspids come in and the temperatures drop! See you all soon.
