Poor Ivo on a hard day's night











Yesterday was a great day with a short and early nap after grocery shopping and eggs. Then we went to the science museum followed by Cave's book store for a xmas lesson given by a former co-worker of Ryan's. We met Kevin an Kaia there. Very fun!




Ivo's favorite part was the game at the beginning. He got to throw a sticky ball at the whiteboard and then got a balloon.




After the bookstore, we all went to eat, then to the park and then to starbucks. Ivo had his first hot chocolate. He loved it! We went home, played and Ivo fell asleep. He woke up a little while later and never wanted to go back to sleep. He wanted to nurse a lot, and did - but not in a way that ever leads to sleep and involves lots of scratching me. So after an hour of that and very sore, I told him no more booby just bao bao. Then he screamed and cried for a couple hours. Both Ryan and I were with him - he was never crying alone. He was very angry. Finally Ryan held him til he fell asleep.




Today, I still feel sad and exhausted. I heard a story on NPR that started out talking about holiday airline travel, the liquid/gel restrictions and some notion of retraining both passengers and security staff... Then halfway thru it turned into a story about soldiers going off to Iraq and/or coming home from. It was so sad. And I just feel terribly weepy.
