Crazy Week

I know I am overdue for a blog post, but it has been one crazy week for us. On Monday, Liam returned to school after being out for 2 weeks!! He was so excited to be there that he only took 1 30 min nap the entire day (this is a reoccurring thing for us when we go to daycare). It is usually not a problem though because when I'm home on Tuesday's he gets to nap great and is ready to charge ahead at school come Wednesday. Well this Tuesday we had to forgo his afternoon nap because he was scheduled to see an occupational therapist regarding his gag reflex. He still gags (to the point of throwing up) on table food and so our Dr. wanted him checked out just to make sure nothing else was going on. Luckily everything checks out great...it's just that our little man seems to be about 3 months behind when it comes to eating table food. Anyway, the appointment lasted 2 1/2 hours and by the time we got home it was pushing 4:30 and he just would not go down for a nap that late. Fast forward to Wednesday where we had another 30 min nap at daycare and by Thursday morning we (and yes, I do mean "we") were MISERABLE. He wasn't sleeping great at night because he wasn't getting the rest he needed during the day and it was one big cycle. To top it off, I was supposed to work Thursday this week (instead of Friday), so off he went to daycare and hardly a nap for the 4th day in a row. Needless to say, I got a phone call around noon on Thursday that Liam was super fussy and they weren't sure if he was sick or if something was wrong. (Of course I knew he was just tired, but he wasn't going to get the sleep he needed unless I got him home). He finally got a great nap Thursday afternoon, great sleep Thursday night (i put him to bed at 6:30PM!) and was doing better Friday morn just in time for us to torture him again with 3 shots for his 1 year check up. Our poor little man has had a rough rough week and as I type this he is approaching the 2 1/2 hour mark on his nap. This week just goes to show you how much babies LOVE schedules, thrive on schedules and rely on schedules to keep them happy :)






Soo tired. Fell asleep on the way
