Mommy and me and lack of it

My dear boy,

I am really sorry. We had a nice string of mommy and me time then life got in the way,

I am hoping we can start doing it again soon. I like having just some one on one time with you. I think you like it too.

I don’t think it will be a weekly thing but I will get better with it maybe a few times a month.

Love you
Mom

ENT

Well I would say Sebastian’s ENT appointment was a waste if time.

His appointment was 2:45pm.

We got called into the examine room at 3:30.

Saw the doctor at 3:40.

By that point I was ready to leave being I was taking more then my hour for lunch and Sebastian was a hot mess trying to get into everything.

Then they take us to do a hearing test.

Note to clinic, do not expect a 20 month old to sit still in a hearing test room after being left in a examine room with nothing to do but try and dig in drawers.

They want to redo the test in 4 -6 weeks.

Apparently he has fluid in his ears but its not infected. The doc gave a rx and said when its infected give him the rx.

Yeah so I don’t no, maybe I should wait till he’s 2 and just have the school district evaluate him.

I don’t like the doctor or his nurses. The nurses gave me attitude when I asked how much longer.

I feel like the whole experience was torture for him. I can’t think of the last time he cried as much as he did during the appointment.

20 months

Dear Baz,

I am a few days late with this update.

We are currently on the patio and I am just watching you and in awe of you. You are growing up so fast.

You have such personality, a charmer yet so serious at times.

You are so protective of your brother and such a helper at Evening with the Tots.

Speaking of the tots. We have continued going and you still seem to love it. Sadly tomorrow we are going to miss it as you and your brother seem to have gotten colds.

You interact with the kids more but still try and help here and there.

You will be moved to a toddler bed soon as you now know how to climb out. On Friday you figured it out and landed on your face. We were going to do it this weekend but didn’t as it was a busy weekend.

This weekend you took part in your 2nd Match for Babies,

Your hitting has decreased a little so that makes mommy very happy.

We need to get back to mommy and me time.

We are taking you to an ENT this month to see if there is a reason that you ate still not talking.

Lets see what else…

-you love hummus

-you are loving the spring weather we finally have. I feel bad you were stuck indoors pretty much all winter.

-you can get on and off the couch and chair yourself

I think that’s about all I have so till the next update.

I will end with a few more pictures:

That time again

20130416-204727.jpg
It was time again for Evening with the Tots.

Due to Sam’s PT evaluation today we got a late start getting there. I actually think it helped Sebastian a little as there wasn’t as much excitement in the beginning.

So we got out name tags and talked to one of the teachers before heading to the gym.

He was all over playing again. Tonight he was more about playing with things then pushing kids in cars, etc.

He enjoyed snack time and wanted any unclaimed cracker.

After snack time we did have a little issue with the sensory table. They had corn in it. He wanted to eat them and share with everyone.

At the night of the time Sebastian was a little confused about the song circle. I do wish I could have gotten his picture though when they sang about him being there tonight and yeah for Sebastian being there (they sang each kid’s name).

When it was time to go he handled it well.

I am happy he seems to be enjoying it.

Evening With The Tots

Dear Baz,

So after being rather cooped up all winter and then last week due to sickness, we finally were able to go the Evening with the Tots.

Evening with the Tots is a program I wanted to sign you up for during the winter but with sickness floating around and your brother’s immune system still being immature, we had to wait till spring to register you.

I was sad we couldn’t take you last week but was happy we finally got to go last night.

Wow, you were in heaven I think and I am looking forward to going next week. You were so excited just walking into the school. Sorry it took me so long to figure out where we were going.

I think when we finally got to the room though and the teacher opened the door, it was all worth it. You just ran in there and started sharing all the toys with the other little kids while I made us some name tags and talked to the teacher.

You didn’t want to leave that room when it was time to go to the gym. Oh you were kicking and screaming but as soon as we walked into the gym you were so excited I thought you were going to burst. You were just running around checking EVERYTHING out. You wanted to help all the kids out who were in the little cars and stuff.

You tried playing with the kids and you wanted to push them around in the cars. One time you actually went around the mother and pushed her hands off the car and started pushing the car. The mom was o.k. with it but I was a little worried by your bold move.

You played with balls and tried to play catch very briefly with a few kids.

You gave this little boy, Miles, a kiss a cheek and then hugged a few others. You really wanted to touch this little girl, Greta’s hair bow but I stopped you. I think poor Greta was just overwhelmed by the whole night as she was the only girl and then you being so curious scared her a little.

All the parents seemed to love you and your expressions. They were all surprised and your lack of shyness. So I had fun telling them stories about you and how you are sometimes to friendly, yes we will be having the stranger talk when you get older that is for sure.

The teacher loved how helpful you were.

After gym time it was time for a snack so needless to say it was a little rough getting you back into the other room. You didn’t seem to want to leave all the fun toys in the gym but again when you say the other room and all the toys all was right in the world again.

It took some coaxing but I got you to the back table for snack time. You helped cleaning up  by eating all the remaining cheerios on the table. The teacher thought that was the best.

Then it was back to playing until we had to leave early to help Daddy with Sam.

I am looking forward to next week and all of us going.

Love you

Mom

1st ever Mommy & Me

Dear Baz,

Yesterday, you and I had our first mommy and me outing. Yes, we have went out to Target without Dad and Sam before but we never have really had a fun outing together.

So yesterday after a rough morning, we went to the Burnsville Center. We were going to get your haircut first but they were busy so off to Caribou we went. We shares some mini.blueberry scones. You seemed to enjoy them and just seemed in awe of things going on. You just kept looking around.

After a little bit we went to get your haircut. You did ok but I think it would have went better if Rachel cut your hair.

Then we strolled around the mall a little before heading to Target then home.

I think we need to have mommy and me outings more often.
