As my other blog shows no posts in May, I can tell you it was a busy month. From the beginning it was planning and hosting Leo's birthday party, then I was on call for work for 7 days then off to NYC for a long weekend. I am definitely not getting enough sleep, and we go through stretches that we feel we can stay up late like adults. But we can't. With Dru and the occasional bad dream or wetting the bed or Leo dropping his nuk, it doesn't help the sleep deprivation.
Julie is a list maker. She makes lists for anything and everything. I understand why she does it but occasionally it gets a little out of hand. Take for instance the year long list of projects she wants to accomplish. Each month has a spreadsheet and if it doesn't get done, it gets added to the next month. It really makes me anxious to see the list grow each month. The tasks are not easy or quick, and with a 2 and 3 year old who want to "help" we only get to a few items. I'm not sure how seeing the list grow makes her feel. As those who know her, she doesn't get stressed out easily or show outward signs of stress. It will be interesting to see what is left to do at the end of 2011.
Leo turned 2 in May and has definitely started to show signs of the terrible twos. So far it's been just letting us know how he feels about a certain request by yelling "NO!" or digging his heels in. It has been fairly easy to persuade him though, and so far I can still pick him up and move him if need be. He was diagnosed with pneumonia in May and was treated with antibiotics and now is on daily Singulair. I guess we'll have to wait a little longer for his reactive airway disease to subside. He does not like it when I make him stop playing because he starts to cough.
So far June has been good, it is finally warm out and summer activites have begun. Last year at this time Leo wasn't walking so this summer will be much easier and enjoyable for both Dru and Leo.
Tonight, I am going to bed early!
