Just a quick one, becuase I don't know how long Dangerboy will be asleep. He's acting a little sick--was up a lot last night coughing, so I dug out the nebulizer and gave him some asthma medicine. (The good thing was, when I put him back in his crib after all this, he just lay down and got ready to go back to sleep! In the past, he would have been really mad if I woke him up and then left him again.) He may have a small fever as well. I'm worried because Friday morning we're supposed to go stay with Grandma and her lungs are no good. But today he's acting mostly normal, so we'll see.
Another cute goodnight thing--last night when I put him in his crib I gave him a hug and patted him on the back, and he reached around awkwardly and patted my back in return. What a sweetheart.
I feel like DB and I had our first real fight yesterday though. I accidentally left the alarm clock set during his nap and it woke him up--he had a HUGE inconsolable temper tantrum (I think because he was still tired and not feeling well). I took him outside until he calmed down, then I had to come back in to teach a piano lesson, leaving him with neighbors outside. He was mad again! :( He was standoffish to me the rest of the day, his little voice hoarse from crying. I noticed that when another little boy cried DB trying to hug him to comfort him.
So by the end of the day I also felt like I'd been crying--just emotionally drained. Sweet P. insisted on doing a huge sinkful of dishes while I took a much-needed bubble bath, complete with escapist literature--Anne of the Island. And hot chocolate. I don't think I've taken a buuble bath since we've moved here. Most rejuvenating.
