What made me smile today?
Baby's good mood this morning, as he'd had plenty of sleep
Baby's chattering after he woke up from his nap in the afternoon, and spending his time relatively independently
Baby slowly waking up from his nap after I called his name very loudly (I didn't want him to nap too long as it was rather late) and then his smiles and giggles as I decided to be silly with him while he was waking up
What triggered me today?
Baby was in a bit of a testing mood today, doing things he knew he was not allowed to do a few times today. So he kind of got on my nerves, but I think I had them mostly under control. Just before lunch he was playing with a pack of tomatoes and sitting on the box by the recycling bin, and he was hitting the bin which I don't allow - and he was very clearly hitting the bin knowing he was not allowed. I ended up moving him away - there were some tears but it was all ok in the end.
What would I have done differently today?
I wouldn't have done this differently perhaps, but I need to figure out what my stance is on Baby's access to the main table. I haven't decided whether to allow him, but this indecision means I don't know really how to react when he insists on climbing onto one of the chairs so that he can play with whatever is on the table. I need to figure this out soon otherwise it's just going to be too confusing for poor Baby.
What will I try to do tomorrow?
Remember triggers, limits, voice, be gentle.
What am I grateful for?
Baby sleeping in til 10 this morning - a record first for a healthy Baby! This I was extremely grateful for, as I only went to sleep at 2am that morning. Baby's dad giving him a bath so I was able to get some work week prep done.
