Rough day in the Bartlett household

3/1/2012

Yikes, today was rough.  We had an overtired, gassy baby that didn't want to sleep.  Just cry.  And a toddler determined to push every one of my buttons... there were many occasions where I had two crying, very unhappy little ones on my hands.  I can definitely see that the crying little baby set the tone for the big baby, and she was all out of sorts as a result.  Definitely a tricky thing to deal with all on your own!

But of course, in the midst of the chaos we had some moments of calm in there... short naps in the rock 'n play for Jackson meant some one on one time with big sister, which she desperately needed.

One on one time spent frantically trying to cram a million activities in (Riley, not me... the girl is on the go!) Painting and playdoh and books and puzzles and so. many. stickers.  Everywhere.

The little guy seems to have a sensitive tummy some days... It was clear he had a bit of gas pain and was NOT a happy camper.  He just wanted to eat or be held most of the day, which is pretty tricky to do while taking care of Riley.  I did manage to get him to sleep on me sort of upright leaning over my shoulder, and I think having his legs squished up and a little pressure on his tummy felt good, so in the late afternoon I plopped him down on his tummy, and voila.  2.5 hour nap.  A MUCH needed nap, poor little guy.

And eventually, daddy comes home and all is right with the world.  Well, comes home from work and does some more work with his little sidekick.

And thank goodness for early bedtimes for the littlies!! Hooraaay for alone time in the evening!  Well, as "alone" as it gets with a 3 week old sleeping on the couch next to you... :)

I don't even want to know what's going to happen tonight with the little guy... Hoping to get more than a few hours sleep!!
