I have to start with the magical mommy moment. It happened on Saturday. We had just returned from a trip to the zoo, and E ran up to me, his green ball in his hands. He tugged on my finger and said...wait for it..."mama! Mama!" That's right, my non-speaker finally called me mama! It was wonderful! I hope he keeps it up.
Second, I'm having a bad morning and wondering if I even deserved the moment I just described above. E still fights sleep until 9:30 or later and he has been waking up at 6:00. Yesterday he woke up at 5:45, and this morning he woke up at 5:30. With only an hour and a half nap (on average), this makes for an INCREDIBLY long day for me. And it leaves me with one grouchy kiddo. I have a goal not to yell. But when he refused to go back to sleep, what do you think I did? Of course I yelled. I feel like a complete jerk. Why does is it so impossible to just not yell?
Long story short he did eventually fall back to sleep sometime between 6:30 and 7:00, and wonder of wonders is still out cold at almost 9 am. How do I convince this child that he needs to sleep?!? I don't need him to sleep this late, but he is a bear all day if he wakes up at 6:00 (or earlier). Just sleep until 7:00, son, and then we won't have to go through all of this. Sigh...
In other news, we went to the zoo and had a blast. E loves the animals, especially the polar bear. Is it any wonder? His favorite stuffy is a polar bear. We got lucky and the bear at the zoo actually put on quite a show for E - playing with him for several minutes. It was so cute! E was so sad when she left and started doing something else though. Poor boy. Here are some photo highlights from the trip:
