So, after a few weeks of a brief disturbance Camper is back to his cheerful self again. That is, when he’s getting what he wants. He’s starting to pitch a mini fit (I don’t think he knows how to pitch a whole fit, and usually his fits involve crying on my shoulder and hugging me) when he has to be taken away from something he wants to do. But after 3 days of making him go to bed at bedtime he’s back to going through the routine and then snuggling into his bed and waving “Bye Bye” and just…going to sleep.
It’s fabulous.
But if there’s anything this kid has taught me it’s that he can change his mind at any time. And it could be tomorrow.
Also, he’s starting to eat a few more things. Not a lot, mind you, but a few. I’m trying to get him sitting at the table like a big boy, and he seems to like it. This of course, means I have to have everyone’s dinner ready by the time he eats- which is a little after 5 these days, but it’s worth it to see him try to knaw on a pork chop. I’ll give him credit, he tries just about everything before rejecting it. And he’s started to say, “Num. Num! Numnumnumnum.” Which I really like.
He’s actually just talking a lot more these days in general.
Is it bad that I let him eat banana with every meal because he requests it by name? Hmmmm….
We’re just in a whole new world with closed-mouth kisses every half an hour (MwaaaaaAAA!) and lots of cuddles and a little boy who just likes to be part of things. It’s a good little world.
And now, with that, I go to sleep.
Goodnight.
