My little guy is almost 2!

On Thursday we officially enter the terrible twos. YAY! I'm actually excited! Lately, I've been relishing the challenge of figuring out how to reason and discipline Dominic. (yes, I have no life) Each time I do something right, and Dominic seems to understand and is on the same page, I get so excited. I must be a pretty good mom. I know there will be (and have been) days where nothing seems to go right and I want to have tantrum right along side Dominic, but I will have to remember the little steps we have taken in the right direction.
He's growing up so fast. Before you know it, he'll be in preschool, and then kindergarten, and we'll stop right there for now.

Holidays and Illnesses

Why are the holidays right smack in the middle of cold and flu season? Not only is it inconvienent to travel (with the possibility of snow and ice), families get together in one big room and share all their germs with each other. Dominic is going through all types of symptoms. He had a fever for 36 hours, then he vomited one morning, now he's working on cold symptoms. He has the runniest nose ever (for the past 24 hours) and now he's developing a cough. Pain in my patookis! (you can tell I'm trying to cut out the cussing) I feel so bad for the little guy. He won't eat or sleep and when he cries it makes him more miserable (since he is so congested), but there is little else he can do. I am not a fan of the post holiday illness. And we still have Christmas coming. It'll be great, Dominic will finally be healthy by Christmas and we'll have to start all over again.
As I've said before, such is life!
