Today was fun! You woke up happy, and we talked and played once you ate this morning. We had to meet Sara in Tazewell around 10, so when it was time for a nap, we loaded up the car and headed to meet her. After we left, she called and said she was running late. Since we had time to kill, we headed to CVAC, and filled out paperwork for Early Head Start.
I'm not sure if you'll qualify for the program since we're over income, or if Doug Sheets will approve your application if you do, but it never hurts to apply! All the girls in the Head Start office fell in love with you! They were so impressed with how alert you are - you were taking to everyone and kept following people with your eyes. You also held your head up, and turned it side to side to see everyone. You've been doing this for quite a while now, but apparently it isn't normal for someone so young. We stayed at the Head Start office for about an hour, and Sara still hadn't left home. Since we still had time to kill, we headed to the YMCA!
When we got to the Y, I pulled out my boba wrap, strapped you on, and we went walking on the indoor track.
You fell asleep right away, and napped through an hour of walking, and about 15 minutes of the elliptical and the stair machine. You love when I wear you - you relax almost immediately and fall right to sleep.
Finally, Sara called and said she was on her way, so we left the Y, and headed toYour Grate Escape for lunch. Sticking to your schedule, you woke up as soon as we got there, and decided it was time to eat and play. I'd packed a bottle for you today, and you drank half of it when we were with Head Start, but still had three ounces of milk remaining. Sara and I took turns feeding you so we could both eat. When it was time to leave, you screamed when you had to get back in your car seat. However, you calmed down quickly, I paid for lunch, and we headed out the door.
Sara had a bunch of stuff to give me, so I kicked you into your car seat base, started the car, and helped Sara move things from her car to ours. As soon as I closed the door next to you, you started to scream. I put your paci back in, closed the door, and went to help Sara again. And within a minute, you were screaming again. Sara took her time explaining everything she brought to me, and what went to our house and what went to the farm. You yelled the entire time. I'd put your paci in, and you'd spit it out and start screaming. Finally, Sara had finished her explanation, so I stuck your paci in again and we headed home.
As soon as I pulled out of the parkinglot you started to scream. I knew you were tired, and expected you to fall asleep. Haha. Hahaha. Yeah, that didn't happen. You screamed the entire way from Tazewell, home. All 18 minutes, at the top of your lungs. You needed a new diaper, but there was nowhere to change you at lunch, and it was too cold to change you in the backseat, so I decided to wait until we got home. Wet diapers don't usually bother you. You were fighting sleep hard, and weren't happy to be buckled into your car seat. You finally fell asleep about a minute before we pulled into the house.
As soon as we walked in the door, you started screaming again. I took my shirt off, and nursed you as we walked to the nursery. You calmed down, I changed you, nursed you some more, and you were back to your happy self. After some playtime, you fell asleep, and took a great nap! You were fussy again later in the night, but were back on schedule by bedtime. Tomorrow's another day, and we'll see how it goes!
