I don't know if I've been too busy to post, had trouble organizing all my thoughts or just didn't know what to say. But man a lot of time has past! And so many things have been changing!
We got through the holidays and it was an exciting and busy time. Conor loved Christmas and everything that Christmas had to offer. He was excited about Santa, Christmas movies, snow and snowmen. The presents? Well they were just an added bonus...he was happy with just all the excitement before the holiday.
We had way too much sugar, watched too many movies in the evenings and Santa brought Conor way too many presents. But that is alright. We found room for all of them. And the thing with Conor and toys is that no matter how many millions of toys he may have he plays with ALL of them. And he gets my money's worth out of ALL of them. The kid even plays with cheap kids meals toys forever! This makes me happy that I'm not "wasting" my money on toys of course. However it seems to encourage me to want to buy him things and it makes it difficult to clear out old toys because he still wants to play with all of them.
So it was a good holiday season. And we are now eagerly anticipating Spring. Probably cabin fever but I'm dying to spend my days with Conor outside playing, at the park and on walks. It's just been too cold lately and I've been a chicken. But its getting close!
It's hard to believe how fast he's growing. This spring he will be 3! That's insane to me! It is exciting though. I know people say the twos are terrible. And there are days that he drives me nuts but I kind of feel like it is getting easier not harder. Maybe its just me or maybe it has to do with how much extra work infancy turned out to be for him. But I still find the independence while trying at times is so helpful. Having hands to carry things because he's not taking up all my arms, giving him things to hold, having him climb in the car seat. At times these things can cause problems but they also are so helpful! I anxiously await the day I feel comfortable letting him walk up the concrete steps without me near him. (won't that make carrying things in easy!) I'll get there one day!
With age also seems to have come clarity. I'm no longer quite as stressed about everything going on with him. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on what's going on with him. What a relief that is! I still certainly have concerns and worry what the future holds for him but I feel like we have a good plan for preparing for this. We will go back to his doctor and April and discuss further the bizarre motor movements which are occurring more and more frequently. But thanks to the Internet I have more information to have a more informed discussion with the doctor about it. We are continuing to play with medication for his apparent vertigo but it's getting there. I would love to get the vertigo issue straightened out as I'm not a fan of puke and we've had two instances where it got that bad. But I will be patient. These things take time and its hard to tell how he's feeling when he doesn't really have all the words to tell us. In time!
Maybe I'll get back to writing this blog soon. In the meantime I'm enjoying the fun and creativity of my incredible little boy!
