DS is only getting worse when it comes to H holding him and more dependant on nursing to sleep if he gets slightly overtired. Ugh.
Tonight I fed him laying on the couch and he fell asleep so I ducked out and made H lay next to him, ds drowsily woke up and has calmed back down. I am going to call this progress for tonight. This is the first night in heaven knows how long, if ever, I haven't been holding him at this point.
So J decided tonight he didn't want to be left out so he just pulled a 5+ hour stretch of being awake! I say 5+ because I can't remember when he last woke up for a nap. Kid is so overtired he finally just passed out in my arms. Tonight will either be awesome or completely terrible. FX for awesome. Mama needs sleep.
Double FX for awesome! Did he just chill with you or did he expect to be entertained the entire time?

Lilah hates her medicine. HATES it. At least I'm surviving with out my allergy meds so far. My boobs feel fuller again so yay. I've also been offering a lot more often and she's game most of the time for a snack. Fx she gains the pound the dr is looking for in 3 weeks.
We had a busy day and I'm exhausted. I'm ready to tackle decluttering. I feel motivated to go through everything and decide if it is a) something I need or b) something I love/has real sentimental value. I'll try again tomorrow to be around more. We'll see...

Sorry ladies. I feel like this whole conversation is my fault then I disappeared for the night. Screen time is obviously a tough topic and something fairly new to deal with.
In the case of my nephew, I have no idea if he's over exposed or just having a bad day but he seemed to be over exposed. I've seen people hand him a phone almost immediately when we sit down to dinner and like I said, he gets so sucked in that you almost have to shake him to get him to pay attention to you again. But maybe it's just his personality. I don't think he's been as bad lately and have actually seen him with a toy car instead of a phone at dinner lately so maybe they changed something or maybe he just outgrew it. Who knows.

Oh don't apologize. These conversations happen. One way we navigate how we parent is to observe other interactions and decide how you would handle it. Yeah often times when it's something you face your perspective changes and then you adjust. As long as you acknowledge there areany ways to parent a child and your ways are likely to change then I think you are doing fine.
I watch my my SIL struggle with her kids because they push until she relents, it emphasizes to me the importance of sticking with my no. Are their kids bad? No. Are they terrible parents? No. Those kid will grow up to be just fine I am certain of it, but as an observer I can see how much harder it is for her because of it and learn from it ya know? Not that I won't ever give in or I am a perfect parent I just try to learn from every opportunity.

ClassyMrsA getting these meds in M is akin to putting a tutu on a mongoose. 0.1 ml at a time with me acting a fool so that she's distracted enough to not mind the syringe going down the side of her cheek. If I attempt even a smidge more she's able to spit it out.
Worth it though. 110% worth it. She hasn't choked in three days and her congestion is almost gone.
