we're getting there.....

day 3 -

so i was inspired by t with honey's comment from the other day, and i tried sitting with him for a few minutes before gearing up to leave. i asked him if he would like to eat breakfast with me, and we sat in the cafeteria while he ate his little bowl of oranges. and when he was done, i asked if he wanted to go play with the other kids, and he said yes! we went back to the classroom, and then he started to lose it a little. but i didn't have to pry him off me today. he did cry, but he sat on the floor with the teacher and the other kids after i kissed him and left.

so when i called about an hour later, they were watching a bible school puppet show, and they said he'd done really well today so far...no crying. not really playing with the other kids yet, but at least no crying.

yesterday cha cha was very concerned b/c when she picked him up he was very pale and lethargic. when she got him home, he pounced on the food she had for him. he hasn't been eating at all at the daycare, and he has also still been fighting us on the earlier bedtime. so i had to explain to her that no, i don't think they're drugging him, he's just tired and hungry! (plus screaming for an hour or so takes a lot out of a kid) we're getting there. each day is better.

and now for something completely different.....how do i get sadie to quit biting me? i've tried ice, food, teethers, anything to stick in her mouth to keep her from attacking me. she's got 10 of the most painful teeth ever. i swear, she will walk right up to me and bite the back of my leg, or bite me right on the bo*b when i'm holding her. and dang, it hurts. any suggestions?
