Could it be a tooth?

Well, I think my son is getting his first tooth…I THINK that is what it is. He has been so incredibly fussy the past couple of weeks, and for the past few days, even more so. There’s a small white bump on his lower gums….so there may be a tooth arriving soon.

And apparently I spoke too soon…he was sleeping through the night, 8/9 hours for almost a week and has now decided that I don’t need that much sleep. He is waking up every 3-5 hours to be fed at night. I honestly thought things had finally turned for the better. But I guess that’s the deal with kids, you never quite know what is going to happen next. I really need to stop with the expectations. It makes life too difficult. Just take it day for day until he is much older I suppose.

So I have a fair that I am doing this Saturday and am a little nervous-I don’t have anyone coming with me, so I’m wondering how I’ll even make it to the bathroom! Guess no coffee for me that morning.

my dear son has decided to rebel against his mother for the 2nd day in a row! With a pounding headache I try my best to ignore the pain and help the little one to calm down. Alas, I have no success and just wish for the best-hugging him will eventually calm him down, right?

This past weekend I had my first event attempting to sell Barefoot Books. What a day (quite similar to today actually, just more wind). It was a much smaller fair than I anticipated and with the weather being so crummy, it wasn’t well attended. But, I did get to hang out with my mother for the fair and meet some people who adore the books, so that was good.

It was hard from an educator stand point to see parents not even interested in the books. How can you NOT be interested? They are so colorful and fun. Kids these days with their ADD and only wanting to watch TV or play video games or go on the computer. Wouldn’t it be interesting if we were to lose power for a week across the US…what would happen?

Apparently today is a random thought kind of day. My mind can’t seem to focus on much (not that this is something new since the birth of my ‘angelic’ son). This mom brain gets to me. Need more adult interaction……
