Mondays
Today was a pretty typical Monday, except Matt worked from home writing employee reviews. Joshua did his best to distract him. I personally think that given the choice between changing a diaper and continuing to focus on writing, Matt found it a bit easier to keep writing when I took Josh upstairs for a change. (Oh, I want Josh out of diapers!) Yes, Josh helped Matt to keep working. :-)
Sam was thrilled to see Matt when she got out of school. We played on the playground for a bit while Matt talked to Mrs Abbott, and then we stopped at home for a snack, then off to yoga. Samantha has a wonderful yoga teacher here in Arlington who truly seems to love teaching children. Sam is the eldest child in class, so Tara asks Samantha to help with the little ones, a role she loves. Tara gives them seaweed for snacks. Yum! This is as earthy crunchy a place as I could imagine, but they are very nice people with a good sense of humor, so I can't hold it against them.
Sam's teacher, Mrs. Curtis, worked on Halloween, then had her baby on the next day, Saturday. I don't know how she worked so far into her pregnancy, but good for her. I know Sam misses her. Mrs. Abbott has been teaching with Mrs. Curtis since the beginning of the year, and they got another teacher in to help while Mrs. Curtis is on maternity leave, a Ms. Bisson. Very French young lady. The transition went very smoothly, as well as anyone could hope for, I think.
Joshua was pretty tired today. He doesn't have strep throat. Sam is just about finished her antibiotics. She did test positive for strep. Sam came to my room around midnight last night, and Joshua joined us around 2am. Matt gave up and went to the attic to sleep. Josh thrashed around and almost whacked Sam in the head with his head several times. He got so bad I gave up and tried to put him in his room. He screamed and kept climbing out of the crib. He stayed in after the 5th try for about 10 minutes, just long enough to let me settle into bed. Matt came downstairs from all the screaming and Josh finally settled in with daddy and slept. I didn't get much sleep, and I don't think Josh did either. I hate it when they can climb out of their crib and get out of their room. He just hates to be in his room by himself, and he is too excited when he is with us to settle into sleep. It'll sort itself out eventually, but in the meantime, sleep is hell.
