This morning John did wake up crying like usual, but it didn't last long and then he was in a very good mood!! I loved it! Wanna know what's even better?
JOHN SLEPT ALL NIGHT!!
This is huge and I love when he sleeps all night...it doesn't happen very often. It helps my day go so much better. We had to deliver some makeup (I have an internet-based makeup and skincare business) and he did so well with it.
Around 9:00 this morning, John surprised me with a sweet kiss! He doesn't always do physical affection, so when he does I get so excited!!! I got so excited that I reached over to hug him....oops, not a good idea. He screamed his top of the lungs, bloody murder scream that I hear when he's overwhelmed and was so upset he started talking in his high pitched voice. Yeah, physical affection is to be done on Johns terms, not anyone else's.
After he calmed down, my sister called.....and basically I can sum it up in this picture:
Basically, it was very noisy. Lots of boy-made sirens, and transformer noises. My sister and I joke that I have turrets....I will randomly say very strange things. "Please put the butter knife down" "no, we don't pour mommy's black powder eyeshadow all over the drawer". Of course this part fits with most kids my sons age and younger...but its still crazy!
At lunchtime, when my husband was home, we started talking about how we needed new living room carpet (it's so stained and just gross). John overheard this conversation and here's what he said "we not get new carpet, we gotta keep this one. I not want to lose this floor". He doesn't even like for me to move things or rearrange....or even if I leave an item laying somewhere too long, I have trouble moving it because he wants it to stay right there. So I guess we might have to live with stained carpet for a couple more years....lol!
John took a good nap and when he woke up, he had a bloody nose, so the meltdown happened pretty quick and lasted about 30 minutes. I finally had to calm him down by holding him tight and rocking while "shushing" in his ear softly. Once he calmed down, it wasn't a bad afternoon and evening. The hardest part of it was him getting excited and screaming and doing his sirens very loud. Sometimes it's so hard to hear each other or even hear ourselves think. I tune it out better than my husband and daughter, but it can get to me.
We are working on going to sleep right now. I have a picture to share with you to show you what he likes to do with his toys.
Yep! He loves to line things up! It's not always on the back of the couch. Sometimes it's the floor and sometimes it's the windowsill. But basically, we like to line up or toys. Oh, and don't move them at all.....I mean it!!! Unless you like screaming, hitting, kicking, or any other action that can come with a meltdown! Yep, this is our house:
I have one more day of blogging tomorrow and then I will be gone for the weekend. So watch for tomorrow's post and then I'll post for you again on Monday. God Bless!!
