The Nervous Mom

On the 9th Anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 - it has always scared me to raise a child in a world where there is so much hatred towards those who are different.   Though I can't promise he'll grow up in aw world free from that, I do vow to teach my son kindness, compassion and understanding. 

Today, we took a free class for babies at a local center.Adorable, and it gave me many ideas to use and modify for my own "Babies Have Class!"  Songs, games, tummy time...of course Benny fell right asleep in the middle!!! 

My Little Lovebug had THE most ridiculous tantrum today.  He ate, was changed and we were snuggled together in bed ready for a little nap and all of a sudden he went ballistic!!  Absolutely crazy, screaming his head off.  I tried everything - the pacifier, rocking, bouncing, lotion, soothing noises...you know what worked and put him out in about 4 seconds?  More breastfeeding!  He wasn't hungry, he just wanted an "edible pacifier!!!!!" 

We took a trip to Party City two days ago to pick up some baptism supplies.  Bought some really neat stuff - banners, table clothes, decorations...I spent so much money it was ridiculous.  My Little Lovebug is worth it!!  Now if only our pastor could confirm the date... hoping for a early November baptism - I really want it before the weather gets cold, where I can still work with an autumn theme  and it'll be a month before his baby cousin's... On our way from the party store Benny started screaming again.  Music, singing, rocking, nothing was working until I got him home and just held him!  My boys a "crier"!!!  I wish he knew how much we loved him and how safe he was with us.  There is never a need to be so stressed out with us!!!

Speaking of Little Lovebug's cousin - he's one month old today!  Going out to celebrate at a delicious Chinese restaurant.  How time flies!!!
