All the people who have told me that the best age is the age your child currently is, are so right. I keep thinking that "this age" is the best, and then he gets a bit older and changes, and then all of a sudden "this age" is the best. Not to say I don't reminisce about the days gone by where I could fit him in the crook of my arm or set him down and he'd stay there, but, wow!, am I enjoying the present time. The ability to communicate with this little human being that you've known for a year and half but haven't really known what they are thinking is amazing. I love it.
His poor teeth will be fixed by the first week of November, if not sooner. Due to the exigent circumstances of the severity of his decay, we are first in line for any cancellation. Cross your fingers for us. It'll be about a two hour procedure all in all. Poor little guy. I'm just so glad he'll be asleep and won't remember any of this!
Also night weaning and trying to transition to his own bed. So far this week we've done all naps in his own bed. He even missed a whole nap one day because he wouldn't settle down into his bed. It was so frustrating for me because I knew if I took him into my bed he'd go right to sleep, but I stuck to it and didn't let him. Today was the best day so far - an hour and half in his bed (by himself!). Tonight is the first night of night weaning and I am anticipating a rough one. We'll see.
