Frankie continues his tantrums. They're very tiring. For me at least. He drains me each time. The other day he had a melt down outside because he didn't want to come inside after our walk. He was yelling at the top of his lung. I asked him nicely to come inside. But he didn't want to hear it. So I left him there while I took Jacob inside. I watched him from the window. He continued to yell for about a minute before he came inside on his own and continued his tantrum inside for another 2 minutes.
After he finished, we discussed why he couldn't stay outside unsupervised. Of course he said, "Ok". But I knew that the rest of the night would be hard. Once he starts with one tantrum it spirals to another one shortly after.
On top of Frankie's attitude, Jacob is now officially teething. He's drooling, and is very irritable. He only wants to be held upright and does not want me to rock him in the glider. The sollybaby wrap is really coming in handy because he seems to feel better when he's close to me. OBVI. I'm currently looking for those Amber teething necklaces that can alleviate teething pain.
(ahh as I type this, Frankie is walking around using Jacob's vibrating teething ring that my sister got for Jacob. I told him a million times to get it out of his mouth!" GRRRRR)
Ok, anyway... back to the teething necklaces. I saw some on Etsy and I think that I'm going to order some from there and see if they work.
As for me, I've been a little down this week. I don't know if it's baby blues or body insecurities or what. I've been feeling Not like myself lately. And I think that I really need to make some time for myself. No kids, NO Man! JUST ME! ALONE! One of my friends said that she goes and gets a Mani/Pedi NO EXCEPTIONS! that is her time and I think that I'm going to make that rule for myself. I must, before I go INSANE!
Nobody is perfect. Moms are no exception. I understand that we're all adjusting to this new life. Frankie is adjusting to Jacob and Jacob is adjusting to life on this planet. And I'm adjusting to being a mom of two boys.
I'm venting. Not everyday is crazy, some days are issues free and they're amazing. But I guess that's what parenthood is. Some days will be happy, Other days.. well not so much. This too Shall Past. ..before I know it, the boys will be older. All of Jacob's teeth will be in place and Frankie will learn to communicate without yelling and screaming. And this will all be a distant memory.
As for me, I'll get over my body issues.,, Maybe.....
