Thomas Turns Two…
January 16th saw Thomas’ Second birthday. A hair cut at the local kids salon, presents galore, cake and good times with relatives and friends were highlights of the day! And so this brings us to the terrible twos. We’ve experienced a few temper tantrums already, which were a real eye opener! But of course it is only a stage and this too shall pass. In other news Nathaniel is now almost 3 weeks old. He is a lovely baby, sleeps lots and when awake, if not busy regurgitating his most recent meal, will play happily on his own in his playpen or bouncy chair. A very different person than Thomas at 3 weeks. The result of Nathaniel’s good behavior is that I’m getting at least 5-6 hours of sleep every night, plus usually a 1-2 hour nap during the day. So sleep deprivation hasn’t been too bad so far. Otherwise, I seem to be recovering and repairing a lot faster the second time around. Have been out cross country skiing twice already, what with the cold snap finally breaking I just couldn’t resist! And weight is dropping rapidly (thank goodness!) already down 20 pounds from where I was on January 1.
