for example,
will follows me around the condo yelling most late afternoons. yelling for too-yah, yelling for pirate's booty, yelling for cheese, and yelling just to yell. however, sometimes he'll stop his yelling just to give me a round of applause. yesterday he paused his angry chirping to clap for me as i put away a pot. it felt pretty darn good.
will has learned to announce his poops. he walks around the condo chanting "poop, poop" when he's in the act. this is a high because it's incredibly hilarious to watch. it's a low because i then have to change a stinky diaper.
when i ask will to say "i love you," he very matter-of-factly says, "nuh." but, he's been wanting to nurse about eleven times a day, and he likes to hang out with me all night long, so i'm thinking he must like me a little bit.
in the last week, i've had a stiff neck, a sinus infection, and sores all over my throat. however, will ate four chicken nuggets last night, and he put a blueberry in his mouth today. he took it out moments later, but still. this is real progress.
we've decided that we may need to part ways with our sleep training frenemy, ferber, and get to know a certain dr. weissbluth, who is also known as the sleep nazi. i've been avoiding weissbluth for months. in theory, this begins tonight. i guess i don't really see a high here, unless it actually works, which is very, very unlikely.
and here is the ultimate high among highs. that face. oh, that face.
