Downs
- For the past few days, Calvin has been resisting eating supper. I can’t figure out why. He just throws everything on the floor, even stuff he normally likes. I have two theories: 1) his teeth are bothering him and 2) he wants to eat at the table instead of his high chair. Until today, I thought he might not be hungry but he ate almost no lunch at daycare and I only gave him a banana and milk for snack (usually he would get cheese and crackers as well) and he still threw a fit at dinner time. I gave him some ibuprofen and Jaeger fed him the rest of supper on his lap. It’s not apparent which calmed him down. Tomorrow night I’m going to try giving him some ibuprofen about a half hour before supper and see if that helps.
Ups
- I managed to lift weights and do my ab exercises today.
- Today was my “day off” and while I did a great many useful things, I did have a couple minutes to relax in.
Calvin Moment
- Today I wore my blue Tux t-shirt which always causes a stir in daycare. As soon as I got in the classroom one of the little girls toddled over and clearly indicated I should kneel down so she could touch the penguin. I obliged and soon had a group of around 5 kids all trying to touch the penguin at once. I’m not entirely sure why they like Tux so much but it’s pretty funny to watch the stampede.
Simplification
- I got a lot done this weekend. Yesterday, I sorted through all my Christmas boxes and threw out the stuff I’ll never use. Today, I continued cleaning off the shelves and finally shipped 3 boxes of canning jars back to mom. (Mom brought us home-canned fruit several years ago which we eagerly consumed but kept forgetting to give her the jars back).
