6:15 AM "I want to sleep in your bed." (looking very cute with bed head and his Mr. Rabbit).
Carried him to bathroom then back to bed.
6:45 AM "I have to go pee pee." (looking less cute)
Tom takes him to the bathroom for his morning poop (why can't this get later?)
7:05 AM "Good morning! My lamp is on." (looking even less cute as I cover my head with my pillow and moan)
On a positive note, our house was deep cleaned today and it is fan-tab-u-lous! Worth every penny!

Teeth
Dear 2 year molars,
Really? Still? He's almost 3, give us a break. The first one broke through in May and is still growing. The second one broke through today. Why the delay? Let's do this - 2 more to go. You make him crazy. He sleeps worse than normal. He peed on the rug yesterday. He woke us up at 6:15 this morning to go poop. That was, however, better than running in at 7:05 yesterday with it all in his pull up. Who knows if it's your fault, but if it's not yours, I'll have to examine my parenting and frankly, I'm just not going there right now.
So, here's the deal. I'm done with this. Do you understand? D.O.N.E. DONE. I would like my sweet boy back. I want him to take a decent nap today, wake up happy, play nicely, go to bed without drama, sleep without drama and get up at a reasonable time with beginning with a 7. I hope you are hearing the theme - no more drama. If I wanted drama I would watch soap operas, not toddler teeth.
Thank you in advance for your immediate compliance,
Thomas' Mommy

HOT
It is soooooo hot. Poor Thomas barely sees outside unless he is being hurried to the car. We ran to the grocery store a few minutes ago and I was really worried about him - his face was red and the AC just couldn't cool the car down. No more errands for us in the late afternoon!
We found a great babysitter to help me out in the mornings when Thomas' summer camp ends. She's very sweet, loves to play and thinks Thomas is "awesome".
I wonder what she would have said later, when instead of napping, he played with his stuffed animals and then had to go to the bathroom - TWICE?

Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk
...and did I mention Thomas keeps talking?
Today after nap we had to run to Grant Park to pick up our CSA box. As we are driving down the street we pass his school. He starts talking about how he needs to see his friends. I say, "Yes, you'll be there again for camp tomorrow. Who do you want to see?" He replies, "Ian. He is my friend. He has a lot of words, just like myself."
Then at dinner he is playing with his fork on the edge of his bowl. I remind him that we are using nice manners at the table and a fork is for eating not for playing. To this he says, "Yes, but I need to make a lever with my fork."
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Reflections on Growing Up
Thomas went back to school today for the last 3 weeks of summer camp. He was happy to go and marched right to his room greeting everyone on the way. It was bittersweet I have to admit. I am glad he is back in school...he needs some time away from me and I definitely need some time to work and do some other things away from him! However, it's always hard to turn him over to someone else :)
Thinking about this time last summer he was clutching my leg begging me not to leave him at that wretched summer camp. Now, I have to remind him to give me a hug and a kiss before he runs into his classroom. I am thrilled that he loves school- I really like his school and think that he is just blossoming there. I am also thrilled that he is becoming such an independent little person. He is curious, engaged and we all know the boy can talk.
Tom and I were talking with a friend a couple of weeks ago and it hit us that our kids are getting to the age where they are actually going to start remembering things. I guess we better try not to give him too many memories to share with his future therapist - hahahahaha!

Bedtime
Mommy, "Yes, you need the sheet and this blanket. It will keep you warm and cozy."
Thomas, "Right. And it will be protection from the predators so they can't eat me."
Hmmmmmm......

3:51 AM
Picture it.
3:51 AM. House is dark and quiet. Everyone sleeps peacefully.
The silence is broken by the pitter patter of little feet startling the two adults awake.
A door opens quickly further confusing the exhausted adults.
"Thomas, what's wrong?"
"Mommy, I have to pee!"
Ahhhh.....another parenting joy revealed.
