Lately

My poor boy has been having a rough time lately. He is teething, his molars are coming in so he is in constant pain :( I feel so bad for him. He won't even let me give him medicine half the time, and it takes reading the same exact books to him over and over to get him to stop screaming. He loves his Dizzy Dragon book and the Foot Book lately. He hasn't been sleeping very well lately, and has been waking up WAY earlier than necessary. His good moods are great, and his bad moods are horrible. Even with my full attention on him, doing everything I can to distract him and keep him busy sometimes there's just no satisfying him. I feel so bad :( Hopefully this will pass soon.

Since he wakes up so early now, lately we have been going to the park a couple mornings a week before I take him to daycare. We just have a loaf of bread in the car at all times lol he LOVES feeding the ducks. As soon as we get out of the car he is already saying, "DUCK! DUCK!" He is definitley starting to speak more, and he doesnt need to be provoked. There aren't TOO many words he says regularly, but he says ball and book a lot now, without me having to say it to him first. Oh, and Daddy. I taught him to say Daddy instead of Dada and now he's obsessed. He points to my computer and says daddy, or picks up my phone and says it lol

This is going to be a very busy and stressful semester. I'm wondering how exactly I'm going to do it all. Especially now that Kieran is so needy and goes to bed an hour or so later than he used to, I have much less time to do homework and study. We'll see how it goes... If I really have to I'll ask my boss if I can work a few hours less a week, but I don't want to have to do that. We are barely making it by as it is.
