kleigh omg, walking thru TJM/Homegoods without kids does sound like heaven. Esp. on a weekday when it isn't insane. Fun fact: we have an insanely huge TJMaxx/Homegoods combo here and I'm not kidding when I say it's the size of a Walmart. This thing could be a tourist destination in and of itself. I can't wait til B goes back to school--I'm going to drop him, stop for a coffee, then hit up TJM and just browse. Girlfriend already loves to shop so she's easy.

I have a love hate relationship with the Wonder Weeks. It was really nice to see what what happening with B but it gave me false hope that it would end. B is a very sensitive little boy and always has been, once I really got to know him I know how to manage his crazy.
I mean, not all the time, because emotions are always there.

vino I have to admit that that makes me laugh. Those "why my kid is crying" posts I've seen are so funny. Although I'm sure I won't think so when we get to that point.

B is a very sensitive little boy and always has been, once I really got to know him I know how to manage his crazy. I mean, not all the time, because emotions are always there. DS1 is really sensitive, too. Especially to tone. I have to try really hard to have a stern but not angry tone when I'm trying to discipline him. It's a fine line and and it either results in him doing what I ask with only a couple of disapproving grunts, or tears galore and him sending himself to his room. Unless I'm asking him to have patience. That always ends in tears.

I think AB is heading toward being the sensitive one too jubilantsquirrel and vino . Besides the completely unnecessary meltdowns, he is super sensitive to tone, being tired, being hungry, etc. AV so far seems much less (if at all) affected by my serious tone. I mean, she gets it and moves on smiling and babbling. There's been a few times AB has thrown his head back in a tantrum - you know, when super important things go wrong like giving him the wrong flavor purée or not putting on the "right" song (FYI the right song is always Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran or Can't Stop the Feeling but Justin Timberlake). I don't even know how to correct that in a 10 month old.

Today was...interesting. The zoo was fun. Both kids were angels on the ride up. J slept pretty much the entire time. I wanted to quickly nurse him in the car when we got there but he wanted nothing to do with it. So I gave up. I tried again after the zoo was finished. Again, no luck. We had our eye on this pub for lunch but there was only off street parking and we circled 10 times and decided to try somewhere else. Both kids were passed out. We ended up going to this brewery on the way home. Food was delicious. Kids were starved. J cried the ENTIRE way home (about 65 min ride). It was pure hell. Like the worst car ride ever. Got him home and nursed him no problem. But he's been so GD whiney. I see a tooth super close to breaking the gum so I'm thinking that's contributing to it. I gave him some Tylenol and I'm putting him to bed. Then I'm drinking my weight in alcohol. DH has threatened a dozen times he's never taking a week off again 😂
Sorry this turned into a dear diary

C cried today because "eating makes me sad". Whatever the fuck that means. What actually happened was the Barney song (you know the one - I love you, you love me, we're a happy family .....) came on and songs make him SUPER emotional.

They said I'd hear tomorrow if the decide to cancel it. My dad is doing really well. No more bouts of disorientation and his physical & occupational therapy is going great. They think he'll be coming home Saturday.

I have a ton of resources in Atx/ Houston corridor and many that want to do *something* so I am almost positive we can find someone heading from atx to Houston that can give you a lift.

I did hear that it was 'hacked'; I think she was missing him, staring at the pics and accidentally posted them. It's ok Selena, I'd go back and check out those pics regularly as well.
