ss- hope your day got better,

Naomi, miss E- I washed the toys today and put them in he sun. Hopefully that kills any remaining germs. :S

Naomi - Thanks I am really proud of us. I didn't do it drug free like I wanted, but I did the best I could and feel a great sense of accomplishment because of that. Maybe next time I'll try for drug free again and see how I go.
Hopefully you had a better day today. I'm the same, I just battle on, on my own then talk about it later.
Dribble away, that's what were here for

AFM- Isaac is exhausted but refuses to sleep. I rock him to sleep and he wakes up agian 10 mins later, I've tried feeding him to sleep and he wakes up 5 mins later, I've tried sitting with him next to his cot and holding his dummy in (he wont keep it in just smiles at me and spits it out ). He wouldn't sleep in his cot last night either. He was fine while I was holding him but the second I put him down he was wide awake. It seems as though we've moved on from not feeding to not sleeping now. Sigh.
The hardest part is whenever I lay him down in my arms he cracks it and starts crying and arching his back, stiffening his legs etc. Just like with the feeding probs, except he'll feed now (mostly). I have to hold him upright and hum to him for a while and slowly lay him down while I'm rocking him. It takes forever. Then I finally get him to sleep put him down and he wakes up again. I've tried holding him while he sleeps but it doesn't seem to have made a difference this morning. ARGH!
So right now I have him lying on a mat on the loungeroom floor. He's quite happy I think but he's soo tired. Droopy eyes, rubbing eyes, pulling ears, etc. Then DF (whose been watching TV all morning) says "He's REALLY tired, you should put him to bed" like I don't know WTFDYT I've been doing all day?? Playing tea parties with my teddy bears?

ahem /vent..
we're going to head to the shops now because DF reckons he might be too hot and the air conditioned shopping centre might make it easier to get him to sleep. I doubt it, but I cant be bothered arguing. At least I might get a decent lunch. Theres no food in the house.
