Keeping the Peace

Today was one of THOSE days. Liam, though he woke up at 6am, refused to take a nap in the afternoon and when he's low on sleep he becomes a wild and cranky little tyrant. Thankfully, he hasn't done this in a while, but it didn't make today any easier. Ada was up last night until midnight and then woke up twice in the middle of the night to nurse. Since it's Thursday and Nialle has practice tonight, I knew there would be no relief in sight.

So what do you do when you're lethargic, lactating and spending the day with a sleep-deprived kid? You succumb to his every whim just to keep the peace.

It was cold outside today, but Liam really wanted to go to the park so I dressed him up, put Ada in the sling and zipped her up into one of Nialle's big sweaters that I was wearing and then we all trudged off to the park.

Liam had a good time...

He wore his boxers out today...that's only the second time we've been out of the house without him wearing a diaper. He stayed dry!


I was cold and spent most of the time trying to keep Ada's head covered...

...but at least Liam was able to blow off some steam and I got to walk a happy kid back to the house.
