snot rockets, co-sleeping, etc.
hey world! ive got a sick baby on my hands. just a cold. stuffy nose, blowing snot rockets across the room with each sneeze and refusing to eat anything other than oatmeal and bananas. around 11ish last night, he was coughing and sneezing and doug went to check on him....doug returned to our room and said 'he's sleeping with us' -uuuuug. i thought. but doug thought he'd be more comfortable. ok! let's try it....we've tried it a few times (back in april he was REALLY REALLY sick) and it never works out. our son must be the only child in the world who hates sleeping with his parents. he slept with us for 4 months, then suddenly, stopped sleeping....and we couldn't figure it out. put him in his co-sleeper, in another room...and he slept. weird. so, even when he's sick, he'd rather be alone, in his crib, away from us.
so, please keep in mind that co-sleeping doesn't work for all families - most importantly, all babies. lars only slept for the first 4 months of his life when i was either wearing him in a sling or he was in doug's arms in bed.....so we just assumed we'd sleep with him for ....well, until we decided to make a change. i do what lars 'tells' me he wants, pretty much. he basically told me he wanted his own space!
personally, i didnt sleep the first 4 months of his life b/c i was so on edge that i would smoosh him or elbow him or he'd roll off the bed, so maybe he felt my vibes and said 'i want outta here people - this lady needs some sleep.'
anyway, back to this sickness. just a little cold.
if i could just teach him to blow his nose. that would be so cool.
i lost my zzzzz
im blogging from my phone, at four am. sad i used the word blogging, reminds me of the, oh, nevermind. i hate when i cant sleep. i guess most people do. nothing profound here. ta ta.
heart, cloud.
today i used some of lars' old shirts (sans stains, thanks) to make 2 pillows. one cloud, one heart. ive been seeing a lot of cloud pillows out there lately, and thought i could easily make one. ta da!
they are lumpy, and crudely finished, but that's the way i sew and i like it.

heart is mustard on one side, salmon on the other.
dogs and toddlers - same.
check this out - its a toyblocker for dogs! but totally perfect for toddlers who constantly roll balls under the couch too. i think we shall invest in this. thanks to a chatroom friend (and fellow mom of toddler) for showing me!
please note, lars likes to play 'fetch' another dog trait. :)
