Rainy Day
Today's just one of those days...it's been raining all morning which means we've been cooped up inside. I'm kind of in a funk today anyways, because I'm upset because a weekend I had picked to go see my Grandparents just didn't work out. And, for the first year ever, it looks like I might not get to see them for Thanksgiving or Christmas. It's difficult to explain on here, but somehow I feel like the pendulum is shifting and it is making me incredibly sad.
This is one of the most challenging things for me as a mother. How do I pick myself up and not let me emotions effect Logan? I let him watch Sesame Street this morning, lol. I also just got him a Baby Signing Time DVD which he loves. Most of you know that I'm very selective on TV with him. Just in the last few weeks have I let him watch any at all. (By this I mean, I have not turned on a children's program for him to watch until now. If it has happened occasionally I'm okay with that but I just haven't done it much at home.) Now, I'm not saying that we never have the TV on when he's awake, but I generally try to keep it off during the day and if it is on it's because Shane or I are watching something. It's not on for Logan. But, today was definitely a Sesame Street morning...
So, a lady in the grocery store called him a girl the other day. Do you think it's time for a haircut?
I just haven't been able to bring myself to cut it because it looks so cute all curly. We'll see how long I can push it off! I kept saying that I'd probably cut it before the holidays, but they are coming quick!
I'm off to get busy. I have the nursing home tonight with Lucy so she needs a bath while Logan is napping. I can't take a stinky dog! We're also working on our huge Delta evaluation which is a week from Saturday. Oh, and we're leaving Logan with a sitter for the first time on Friday! Well, kind of. I guess it doesn't really count because she is a friend of mine from playgroup. But, I am so grateful to know that she babysits! It is always so challenging for us since we do not have family here. And, I'm just not comfortable leaving him with strangers. Okay, I'm off : )

I am grateful that you would trust me with the most important little person in your whole world. Olivia and I are so excited to get some time to come play with Logan!! It's definately just as much fun for me as it is for Olivia!
