Battles & Blessings

Battles:

• Sleep issues continue to plague us.  Fighting at naptimes.  Waking up an hour earlier than usual.  All in all, same old stuff.
• A crankiness that may be sleep-related, or possibly teething?  It's so hard to guess.
• My arch-nemesis, Tuesday.
• This ridiculous rash that we can't seem to kick.
• Miles is getting more and more picky about his food.  I'm trying to remain chill about it, but it's tough.
• No Shakespeare night this week.  I missed it greatly.

Blessings:

• Patrick.  So supportive.  And sweet.
• Miles.  He is learning at an amazing rate.  He astonishes me daily.
• The weather.  Oh, my, but it's been beautiful.  It is so nice to open the windows again.
• I think I've figured out the sleep issues.  I think Miles is trying to transition from two naps to one, and I've been trying to hold him to his old schedule.
• In spite of his rash, and his pickiness, and everything else, Miles really has been an angel this week.  
• Heart-warming compliments on my writing from random internet-strangers.  Seriously, it made my week, in a very nerdy way. :)
• An opportunity to spend a day with Aunt Ninell.  I love that woman.  She is such a riot.
• My job.  I am really and truly blessed to be able to bring my son with me, and to work with people who have become friends to both of us.
