Still sappy...

My little boy was three months old yesterday, and the desire to smooch him all day long has not waned a bit! We had tonight together without worrying about having to wake up in the morning, so I kept him up a little late. Oops! It was a wonderful time!

A lot of stuff happened this week. He had formula for the first time ~ I don't think he notices the little bit he's taking in with his other food, but OH MY GOODNESS do those of us changing his diapers notice the difference. I don't even want to think about how bad it's going to be when he starts eating solids!

I almost had a nervous breakdown on Monday when his school told me that they couldn't even put lotion on Caleb without a note from his doctor. It WAS lotion that the doctor had given him, but it was samples of lotion that you could buy at any grocery store. Sheesh. I fell apart because it seemed SO stupid, but when I got a little further about it, I realized that they have to be very careful because our society is so darn litigious. Criminy grits. That morning though, it seemed like they were just trying to DELIBERATELY keep my baby boy's skin looking like an itty bitty alligator. Double sheesh.

The week was insane at work. (Last refi week of the month, dontcha know.) It was interesting to see the way I handled things. Granted, I wasn't as busy as I usually am at the end of the month, but I still held things together pretty well. PARTICULARLY when you consider the tremendous lack of sleep I'm functioning under. Praise the Lord! I'm excited to start getting some more sleep, but also enjoy the time with my boy every night. When we only get an hour and a half in the evening with him before he goes to bed, and less than an hour every morning (not very quality time even if we DO get an hour), it makes me treasure even those two or three times he gets me up in the night. How long do you think that will last?

Finally, I would like to give a huge prayer of thanks for the fact that Caleb made it through his first four weeks at school without getting sick! Whoo-hoo! I know there's no rational reason to feel this way, but I'm still really proud of him! Way to go, Caleb Z!

Okay, gotta get to bed, because that gorgeous little boy will be waking me up within a couple hours. Yay!
