It’s 2:00 in the afternoon, the time I’m usually maxing and relaxing (well, really working) while Falco naps. But right now, he is groaning, “Mommy, I’m awake!” after being in his room for the past hour NOT napping. If this was an isolated incident, I would think it was just an off day. The trouble is, this happened Monday too. That day I thought it was just because I tried to put him to bed too early, but today it was solid nap time. What if he’s on his way to giving up his afternoon nap? What a nightmare. I’M NOT READY FOR THAT!

I hope this week is just weird for some reason, and he will magically get back on track ASAP. How could he suddenly go from taking 3-hour naps daily to no naps? Not only do I need to work while he naps, I need a break from my charming, demanding child. If he does stop napping, he’s going to have to have quiet time or TV time or something that translates into “leave Mommy alone time.” I don’t have the mental capacity to entertain him for 12 solid hours a day.

Good news: He’ll be in bed by 6:45 today.

I finally caught up my gallery. Now you can see photos of things like…

Our anniversary.

Our trip to Mississippi.

Easter.

And a bunch of random photos of Falco looking cute.

Enjoy!

It’s that time again. Time for a huge catchup post because I’ve fallen behind. This time I’m even more behind than usual because something went horribly wrong with my Wordpress. I couldn’t log into my own blog, but thankfully Matt straightened it out. Now I can fill you in on the last couple months.

1. We thought we didn’t get into any preschools because we only applied to two and we were waitlisted at both. We thought we’d hang around at Slippery Fish for another year, but then we got a call from Playmates at the end of May with the good news that a 3-day morning spot opened up for Falco. We were thrilled to accept, and Falco will start there at the end of August. It’s a co-op, so I’ll work one morning and he’ll be there without me two mornings each week.

2. At the beginning of June, Falco fell down a step at school and broke his clavicle! It was very sad, and he had a rough couple days. He didn’t need a sling or anything, so we just had to wait for it to heal. He bounced back incredibly quickly. Within a week he was only guarding it a little, and after three weeks he seemed like nothing ever happened.

3. A few days after Falco’s injury, I got rear ended again, smashing the rear window again. The dude who hit me wanted to pay for it on his own, and I went to a body shop where he knew the owner. The guy ended up getting a black door that he could swap out so it was a cheap fix, which was fine with me. However, now the back door doesn’t quite match, it isn’t water tight (which I need to get fixed), and the exhaust makes a weird noise. It just passed 100,000 miles and is looking a little worse for wear, so I’m hoping to trade up for a Prius soon anyway.

4. We went to Mississippi last week, and Falco did great. The flights were 1,000 times better than last time, and he slept well and was cute and fun. We stayed in a fancy pants condo on the beach with a gorgeous pool, and that made for a nice getaway. It was really nice to see my family, and I was especially glad Falco got to see his great grandma, Ma-Ma Hazel, who is about to be 97!

5. The pets are all fine. Rosco is back on meds for his only eye, and he has regained some vision. Adelaide is stable on her current meds and pretty much acts like a civilized pet again, though I don’t really trust her alone in the house. Miu is still around and unremarkable.

I think that’s all the exciting news I have to share, and people probably stopped reading a couple paragraphs ago anyway. Stay tuned for photos TOMORROW!
