Now, What Jesse doesn't like to do:
- pinch his fingers in the cupboards
- sleep at night
- take a bottle
- cuddle
- acknowledge discipline
That last one is the kicker. I just read that at 10 months, you can start to see a pretty clear personality coming through in your kid. Jesse's current reaction to discipline is laughing. He gets 'no'. He just doesn't listen. I'm curious who he gets this from...
Today I knocked the wind out of myself in a surprising dive at Jesse's ankles as they disappeared over the stairs. A very close call, but in my defense, I had NO idea he was just going to dive after his ball-- he's been getting good at the turn around technique. So, I will resume keeping an ever vigilant watch on my son, especially now that he finds using his knees overrated, and he has taken to the two leg approach.
In other news, James has had 6 straight days of work with a healthy mix of supply teaching and working construction. I got called in yesterday, but was unable to swing a sitter at such late notice and had to turn it down. A bit of a bummer, but until I have a babysitter on call, that's the way it is going to go. Tonight we are going out on our Valentine's day date, and I am definitely looking forward to a night out with James.
Getting a little tired of kid songs, zaboomafoo, and poopy diapers :)
Time to get out and dance.
