Pride

They say pride goes before a fall...or something like that. My most recent moment of pride relates to my son. As I was picking him up from daycare yesterday, the daycare worker tells me of his "cuteness" during snack time. Apparently he was very good about using his Please and Thank you. I was so filled with pride that I thought I would burst. I haven't yet heard him say Thank you--but we've been working on it. To know that he's using it with others appropriately feels so good. I have a difficult time seeing how this pride could ever be a down fall for me.

Ho Ho Ho.....maybe

Life doesn't stop for holidays. I wish it did, but that's just not how
it works. We started Christmas Eve Day with a doctor's visit for
Christopher. Turns out that he hasn't had an ear infection at all. His
doctor is now convinced that all of the respiratory stuff Christopher's
had over the last two months is allergy/asthma related. It has built up
fluid behind his eardrums. After doing a tympanogram , we discovered
that his right ear drum doesn't respond to sound/pressure normally and
the left doesn't respond at all. There's not much we can do right now.
We have to wait until the specialist's office re-opens next week so
that a referral can be made. I'm hoping that getting tubes inserted and
having the excess fluid drained does the trick without any residual
hearing loss. DH isn't dealing well with the news. I keep telling him
to not panic. This situation--with what information we had--is easily
addressed. We're NOT dealing with a life-threatening and debilitating disease.

Anyway...Christmas went well. Christopher enjoyed opening presents in the morning. He absolutely loved his Thomas the Tank Wooden Railway. "ommeee" is his new favorite word. We went to my parents' home for the traditional Turkey dinner. Of course, we had waaayyyy too much good food. We exchanged gifts and then DH had to go off to work. All said and done, we arrived home around 5:30 pm with one very tired little boy in tow. Now the trick is getting everything organized, the v-smile hooked up to the tv, and the internet baby thing from C's aunt installed on the computer.

Oh what fun it is to...

tired and worn out!

I'm tired and I'm worn. I feel like somewhere, somehow, I've lost myself. I don't know what to do about that. I feel disconnected. I've got no real social circle. I feel almost like I've got nothing--except my son--he keeps me going and going and going. I'm hoping that I'm at this low point because I'm sick and have been. It'll all look better when I feel better....at least that's what I tell myself. Maybe once I have more energy I can make things happen for myself.
