Beady, Beady, Beady

I bought one of those busy bead toys from IKEA awhile ago for MC. He only just started recently playing with it. For some reason it finally struck his fancy and he’ll sit and push those beads around for about 15 minutes. Normally he pulls it off of his shelf and pushes it over on its side, why he can’t leave it standing upright I don’t know but this apparently is the best way to play with it.

I started making car noises (nneee-yoooo best I can do to explain LOL) when he pushed the beads around loops. This is apparently really funny stuff. He stops pushing the beads and dissolves into giggles. Today I added a braking noise when he hit the end of the line, this is even funnier than car noises. He started pushing them faster and faster so that I would make the noise again….more giggling ensued.

Amazing what can entertain a toddler, a bit of noise and some wooden beads.

Waiting …. Room …

Ugh. MC’s vaccines were today. We’re late as we couldn’t get an appointment when he was a year because our doctor had been quite ill. So after waiting for an hour we know now that he is growing well and developmentally is coming along just fine.

And then they poked him with sharp things. At least I didn’t cry this time. He was quite a trooper after waiting in the waiting room for over an hour and survived his exam quite well. Poor kid.

So no decluttering for me today. I will be making it up tomorrow.

Brain Is Melting

It’s hot. Stepping outside was like being slapped in the face with a soggy wool blanket, disgusting and hot. In spite of that we did go outside to dig around in the sandbox until I just couldn’t stand it anymore. Of course you can guess what happened when I made this decision by myself without the input of MC…oh yes total and complete meltdown. He sat on the floor all forlorn with snot running down his sandy chin at the injustice of it all. He went to the only place he could find comfort…under the kitchen table. Poor, poor baby.

Lunch was delayed as he was far too busy protesting his lack of input.

I patiently *cough cough* waited for the protest to end. While waiting Merlin stole MC’s sandwich off of the table. Murphy’s Law would indicate that this would be the time that MC would cease all protesting because he was hungry.

Lunch delayed to repeat the sandwich making process.

Second meltdown achieved for not getting lunch RIGHT NOW.

More waiting.

Lunch eaten, happy MC makes his return.
