A few favorites.

I got a complaint list as long as my leg, truly. But there's a lot of good things I need to mention too. So instead of deep-diving into yesterday's tornado warning and the fact that I cannot, no matter how I try to work it, get the grass cut by myself. Two acres is too much when I can't trust a solid hour+ nap from the baby. 

1. I'm almost finished with the end-of-the-year postcards for my students. 

                                                                            25 is a lot. 

I'm planning, barring another natural disaster, on going in next week to see them again. 

2. Sutton is so much better at sleeping than Wells ever was. The tale I tell is that Wells didn't sleep through the night at all until 18 months (post-18 month regression) and didn't do it regularly until he was 2. 

I fully expect regressions with Sutton but she just like...goes to sleep? Idk. It's so foreign to me. Wells was up every 2-3 hours for 18 months. Of course, Sutton came into the world actually yelling via emergency c-section so...

I have Taking Cara Babies' 3-4 month series to read to prepare myself for this time around.

3. Speaking of baby stuff, Milestones and Motherhood is such a great resource. I find myself getting absolutely lost in her Stories. She's a pediatric PT and there's really nothing she doesn't cover. Also: turns out I did everything wrong with Wells and he turned out FINE. So, don't take everything she says as a must-do. 



Here's to hopefully accomplishing a few things this weekend...cleaning out my classroom a bit, buying/planting flowers, and going to the library are top of the list.
