I Want Mom!
September 29th 2010 01:32
Well, it's official. My son doesn't like me. He likes Mommy.
I'm not taking him too seriously though. He's pretty cranky right now, because his last (thank goodness!) molar is coming in. He's pretty well doped up right now (ibuprofen and baby orajel) so he'll hopefully sleep through the night without any more screaming fits. But he told me tonight that he doesn't like me. He likes Mommy. He mainly felt this way because I was the one that took him away from watching Bolt, when he wanted Mommy to carry him upstairs. Being in her third trimester, Mommy was not really feeling up to it, so it fell to Daddy. Our son was not happy with that! We figured he'd start becoming more of a Daddy's boy as Mommy got less mobile, and for a while that seemed to be the case. But he's reverting in a big way right now! Pretty much everything is "I want Mom!!"
It's been a while since I posted, so here's some updates: I got transferred to a much less stressful job this year. I'm no longer working with kids with behavioral issues. As such, I'm coming home with much less stress, which is really nice. My only current problem with work is that I get a little bored sometimes. Anyway, having less work stress has allowed me to start volunteering with my wife at Salvation Army youth nights every week, which is fun. My wife volunteered there all last year, but by the time I got off work, dealing with more kids was the last thing I wanted to do.
My wife is doing well, and her pregnancy is progressing normally. My son is hitting his stride in the Terrible Twos, but is still not too bad. Potty training his hit-or-miss. For a while he'd wake up at night and ask to sit on the potty, but I'm pretty sure that was just a stall tactic to not be in bed. He has since switched to wanting tons of kisses and hugs as we're putting him down. Which is far more endearing!
I keep wanting to post more often, but never get the chance. They'll probably continue to be sporadic now that I'm back at work!
