Busy, Busy, Busy
What a busy weekend! Friday night I went shopping for clothes for MC and myself for Sunday dinner. We were pretty successful and I bought a nice outfit for myself.. Luckily I’ll be wearing that when Scott and I go out for anniversary dinner…even though our anniversary is today we knew we’d be too busy this weekend to enjoy a nice relaxing dinner so we postponed until this Friday.
Saturday we went to the organic farm we have a food share with. They invited everyone out to the farm for a bbq. Food was good and MC had loads of fun walking around the very, very long driveway. There were some puppies and a meow there. MC saw for the very first time…some chickens. Which he promptly decided were ducks, not chickens…I figured that was close enough. We left as the mosquitoes came out looking to dine.
Sunday we had dinner at the club. That was after the mother of all tantrums, not sure why changing his clothes set him off but it did. After a sweaty struggle I left him in pants and his shirt and we waited to put his shoes and socks on. Phase 1 complete…in car…driving…with a good chance we’d be on time. We parked and Scott and I each took a foot to sock and shoe…MC decided not so much, thanks anyway. Phase 2 incomplete and no longer caring. MC was now in a bad, bad mood. He was probably hungry and he wasn’t very sociable when everyone arrived. He did actually start to eat the bread that came, after refusing the multitude of snacks we brought with us…funny guy eh. After getting some food he was finally able to sit in his chair and do a little chatting. Phase 3 complete.
Once he ate his dinner he decided that he was DONE…FINISHED…LET’S GO! So rather than disturbing everyone else we opted to leave before he had another melt down.
Ugh. This is why we don’t take him to sit down places to eat. Stressful.

Goodmorning Sun, Happy Morning Everyone
Dear MC,
Your mommy is not a morning person. Up until now you have obliged me by sleeping in, I appreciate this. So if you could please explain what is going on right now I’d really like to know how we can go back to our 8am sleep in.
And I can hear you in my room through the monitor, there is really no need to shout PUPPY PUPPY PUPPY at high decibels. Trust me, I know you are there.
If you’re going to wake up early, you can help me out by being in a good mood. Feel free to leave the cranky self behind. If you really must be cranky please feel free to make me my coffee in the morning, it’s not hard…daddy will show you.
That’s all,
Your Mommy (So not a morning person)

Molars…Great
Oh the crankiness. MC is apparently acquiring more teeth. I was really hoping for a little break here. After the soaking shirt, random tantrums, and constant gnawing he decides he won’t eat. Lunch times are becoming royally frustrating as I can’t find anything that he wants to eat. What ever he thought was good yesterday he has decided today is pure poison.
I can only assume he’s getting molars, that’s all that is left to come in. If he follows his past teething routines he will be popping two of those suckers at the same time. I guess that’s good in a way…getting through it twice as fast. I can’t help but wonder if he only got one tooth at a time if it would affect him as much.
So he’s tired, cranky and obviously uncomfortable. And I’m now tired, cranky and frustrated. Makes for some fun play time. All of this is leaving me pretty uninspired.

Ahhh….Fork It
MC has discovered that forks are indeed useful and not just another little something to toss off of the high chair. He has slowly over the past few days been practicing at piercing the food, but he always took it off and shoved in his mouth via the hands. Yesterday he had an epiphany…food on fork, fork to mouth, watch mommy clap wildly, and repeat. He still get frustrated as not everything fits neatly on the fork or it falls off on the long trip from tray to mouth. He’ll get the hang of it soon.
