What a day..........

While I was cooking dinner, Cade was standing on the stool playing in the kitchen sink. Then, I think he was trying to get down and slipped and hit his head on the floor. While I was trying to console him, he was crying so hard that he puked all over both of us. I got him calmed down and both of us cleaned up and resumed making dinner while he snacked on a banana. I finished dinner and sat down to eat and gave Cade some food. Well, he choked a little and then puked all over himself again. So, new clothes again and then Sean got home. When he came in the door, I said, slightly frustrated and slighty amused, "You picked one heck of a day to be late." Turns out he was cleaning the parts of my car that didn't get clean when he took it in to be professionally cleaned for Mother's Day. I love my husband! Sometimes you just have to laugh because on top of everything, Cade is refusing to go to bed. So, I was with him from 7 to almost 9 and then Sean took over. It's 9:30 and Sean is still up there. After puking twice in one day, we don't want to risk a 3rd time and Cade has been known to puke if he's too upset to go to bed. The joys of parenting.......

Hi Jill:

I hope Cade is feeling better.

When Tash was very little, about 2 there was a period when she wanted to stay up until she fell asleep on the floor next to me (I usually spent my nights sewing after the kids went to bed). After a couple of nights of this silliness, I looked it up in Spock, I know he's passe, but there was a wonderful technique that worked.

When you put Cade to bed, sit in a chair in the dark room with him but do not say anything to him and do not respond. Soon, he will settle down and go to sleep. I did this for about 3 nights and after that Tash went to bed without a fuss.

I would like to go on a picnic with Cade and you of course, but I don't have your phone number. Send it to my email if you want to get together.
