Runaway October

It seems my youngest may have colic or some sort of reflux. Poor lit­tle guy. All of us here are run­ning on lit­tle sleep and even less money, which causes great stress. To lis­ten to a new­born wail and sob for hours at a time is enough to make my cheese slide right of the cracker. We’re try­ing some reme­dies to see if it’s really colic or if it’s some kind of 24 hour upset. Of course, it never fails that Declan chooses to be two right as Rowan has fallen asleep.

I just want to gush over my new lit­tle day­care guy. He has Down Syn­drome and is just the cutest lit­tle guy ever. Appar­ently his par­ents had had a hard time try­ing to find a care­giver for him because he’s spe­cial needs. And here I am expe­ri­enced and every­thing. I already know all the sign lan­guage he does and we have great teach­ing aids to help us help him. He sticks up for him­self when the dog or other kids get in his face which makes every­thing so much eas­ier. I don’t have to police the dog’s every move.

I spoke with an old friend tonight again. She has 3 girls, which is awe­some because who would I be able to make these awe­some things for:

• Patch­work Cir­cle Skirt
• No Sew Tutu
• Faery Wings
• And such girl-like things…

Din­ner tonight was del­ish — Chicken Que­sadil­las with Carmelized Onions, though the pre­sen­ta­tion was lack­ing cause Rowan was fuss­ing. Break­fast was a mod­i­fied pan­cake of sorts — 1/2c peanut­but­ter, 2 eggs and some honey fried up like pan­cakes. They’re great because it’s pretty nutri­tion dense and sweet enough to not need syrup, so lit­tle hands can just pick them up. Plan­ning on mak­ing some Peanut­But­ter Choco­late Chip cook­ies tomor­row. Yay! No pic­tures though, unless I can find my moms camera.
