On Your Marks, Get Set, GO!

This fussy phase that Riley is going through has over stayed it's welcome. She is pissed that she cannot move on her own yet. Seriously pissed. She tries and just scoots backwards and so she screams- not cries, but screams. A deep, scratchy, throaty scream. It's hard for me to take, but I try to let her do it for awhile so she can attempt to learn on her own... but it's definitely wearing me down.

**note: the "back to waking 1-2x a night phase has worn out it's stay as well.

Riley goes back to the doctor tomorrow to check her ears and make sure the double ear infection cleared up. That means that Dylan will be getting sick soon..........so I have to keep a watch out for that. This whole year either one or the other have been sick and/or on antibiotics at all times. Blaze has been good though. (*note to self: remember Blaze's Rx tomorrow) Well, he's been healthy, good as in well-behaved is another story... He has been suspended the past two days from the bus for hitting our neighbor girl in the arm at the bus stop. He hit a girl. And she didn't even hit him first, but still, she's a girl. We have a rule that he can defend himself if "attacked" (sounds too big a word, but you get the idea) but not girls, you don't hit girls. So I am freed of dishes and extra chores this week because Blaze is doing them. :-)

Okay. Ry is terribly pissed and crying real tears now.
