I awoke to the sing-songy voice of Ajax calling- I’m all done sleeping mom! My first thought was- goodness, he sounds so happy. I walked downstairs and found Ajax sitting up in bed saying how he was done sleeping and that he was done with his nap. Try to explain, however, to an overtired and stubborn two-year old that it’s midnight and no one is up and about at midnight and to go back to sleep. Ajax was up till 3 am. I was so tired and frustrated that I finally laid on the couch with him. He won.
It’s kind of funny how first-time parent’s have these grand ideas and plans of how they will raise their children. They will do this, they won’t do that… then the baby comes and throws all your well-laid plans out the window, lol. At 3 am, I didn’t really care about any of that, I just needed to sleep. I was finally able to transfer Ajax into his bed wrapped in blanket where he slept till 7:45 am.
On Saturday Dave and I were beyond tired (more like a little nuts), we were so tired that I called my mom. Yes, I did, I called my mom. My mom was nice enough to come visiting and help take care of Ajax. They played outside in the leaves and Ajax had so much fun playing with his grandma. My mom even made us a delicious dinner… a recipe I actually wrote down and will share sometime.
Ajax slept through the night Saturday, but now I fear that he’s getting a cold. Dave was sick last week with the flu and then had to go to Urgent Care on Saturday and is now on antibiotics for strep throat.
Today was pretty laid back. Ajax and I went grocery shopping, then we swung home to pick up Dave and went to the mall. Ajax played on the playscape for over an hour and then we bought Dave a down-filled vest. Dave and Ajax then worked outside, while I got some cooking done inside. Ajax was in bed by 7 pm and out like a light.
