greek easter Yesterday, on our way to celebrate Greek Easter with friends, my husband reopened the yesterday's discussion by telling me I had a lot of work to do on myself. "WE have a lot of work to do if we're going to make this marriage last," I insisted. I told him I knew I was wrong and had admitted that to him but he had continued giving me the cold shoulder and that was no way to resolve a conflict. If someone admits they are wrong then accept their apology, don't try to drag it out to prove a point. I explained that I understood why I was reacting the way I did about his suggestion that he take the baby for a walk to say hello to some friends while I did the laundry. I resent the fact that he has an entire community of friends nearby and that all my friends are so spread out. I will surely have to join a mother's group nearby. I think this could be a great way for me to meet new people and good for the baby too. I'm just waiting for him to be able to sit up on his own so I can put him down to play and not have to hold him in my lap the entire time. ******** I had a great time yesterday. We ate out. There were about ten of us, the restaurant was super crowded and loud but the baby faired well. I was so sure he was going to have a meltdown that initially I was on edge, expecting that any minute we'd have to take him outside the restaurant and call the evening short. But alas, he was actually quite good, and managed to charm the pants off of everyone. Good friends of ours, another Greek couple, agreed to be our son's godparents. We had asked them a couple of weeks ago, and they delivered the good news at the dinner table. I couldn't be more pleased. They are super cool people, and deeply loyal. Now we can start planning the baptism! By the end of the evening my husband and I were laughing, and smiling, and holding hands under the dinner table. We went home, put the baby to bed, then cuddled up on the sofa. I am fully aware that this does not mean that our issues have been resolved. But for now I was content to reconnect. ******* I am getting ready to wean my son off of nightime breastfeeding. My son needs to learn to put himself back to sleep at night. I don't know how much more of these night wakings I can take. He is still waking several times a night, and usually the only way he'll go back to sleep is at the breast. Mind you at this age they don't need to feed at night. He is merely doing it out of habit and best to break it now before he's a toddler. Lord help me! Started baby on peas this weekend and sorry to say these got a major thumbs down. Will get creative and mix them up with sweet potatoes, which he loves. You should have seen the face on him when I shoveled the green mush in his little mouth. ************* Am counting down the days until the arrival of my jogger stroller! I have managed to shed some babyweight by simply taking the baby out for a walk every day. The jogger stroller will make for a much smoother ride. I just can't wait!d ************* It's raining today. Oh how I love the rain. Will stay in today and clean. Love Rose
