Skin looks beautiful! And your lip color is very pretty
Thank you! Though I should have specified that my foundation made my skin look even better...I didn’t wear a lot but it did just enough. The lip stuff is a lip butter (I think that is what it was) from Almay.

Hope that goes well (and I hope you get a good nap in today)!
I just saw this, but yes it did go well, and we got a nap in too! The monster is actually eligible for the program due to an delay in expressive language, but only for another 6 months and then the public schools take over. But until then he will probably get set up with speech therapy done in our home on a sliding scale fee.
Oh, boy! It is so scary when they run off. My son dashed across our Brooklyn street one day. Just standing next to me, and then zoom! Scared the life out of me and the (thankfully alert) driver coming down the block. I figured out my son was literally at "loose ends" during tantrums, and quiet talking with a firm embrace helped him calm himself. But that was him. Every kid is different. Hope you find your energy.
Thank you! It still amazes me how much of parenting is making sure your child doesn’t injure themselves! And so scary! Your situation sounds like it was far scarier than mine, but either way luckily the outcomes were both good. I admit that my anxiety gets the best of me, and so I become frustrated really easily, but I’m constantly working on it. I am still trying to figure out the best way to react to the monster’s outbursts, I think I will try your tactic next.

It is so hard not to worry over every little thing with kids, but I have forced myself to chill or else my anxiety would be the end of me! Plus, I used to work with kids with severe autism and other severe developmental disabilities who were non-verbal, and I haven’t seen any markers in the monster that it could be something more serious than him taking his own damn time to speak.
nonplaudite said: This is wonderful! Toddler concentration is so lovely. (Better stuck to him than the wood furniture. Ask me how I know.)
He is such a little tornado of energy that it is fantastic to see him sit and concentrate on something! I cannot even imagine how rough it is to get the stickers off of wood furniture! I am just going to spend at least today picking stickers off of the carpet and other random places, but since they were stuck to him first it isn’t hard just a nuisance.
nonplaudite said: I’m sorry you’ve been feeling bad. It’s so hard to care for a little one when you’re well. If you can sit outside, pans of water and measuring cups, etc make for fun. I used to use water with paintbrushes on concrete. It’s like painting but no mess! But even if you’re just chatting with him, you’re being a good mom. Don’t let it get you down.
Thank you! It is reassuring to read that, and I needed that!
So tumblr is being stupid
And won't let me add this to a post, but oh my gosh @nonplaudite your tags on this post (re: confession): http://nonplaudite.tumblr.com/post/113300293035/writingonthecastlewalls-apparently-someone-is Just about made me do a spit take with my iced coffee. Hehe. True.
