Daily Life

Yesterday afternoon, at nap time, Timmy laid down on the floor under the table and fell asleep. (I moved him to the bed after I took the picture.)

An impressive line of cars

Nowadays, when Timmy gets upset over something, instead of rocking him or letting him nurse to calm down, I start talking about things he likes: vehicles, animals, animals riding in vehicles or we look at his books. This is also how I get him to sleep now instead of nursing at night. I whisper stories into his ear featuring pigs and monkeys riding on motorcycles and tractors.

The finger pricking isn't so bad. It's nice to know what my blood sugar is doing. Last night it was high and I can't figure out why. I had salad and cheese, egg, and tomato casserole for dinner, then walked the dog. Maybe it's because I had seconds? Or because I had an apple with peanut butter snack in the afternoon? No idea. There wasn't much sugar in that dinner.

There's a red bird outside. The birds haven't found the new bird feeder yet, but they come to our yard anyway.
