To Sleep Per Chance to Dream

When faced with the question, what is that thing on earth that you desire the most, many people have trouble narrowing down the possibilities. Is it fame? Is it fortune? How about stunning good looks or maybe a brilliant mind? Well not me. I am very clear about what my heart desires. The thing I want most in this life is a good night’s sleep. That’s right, eight hours of uninterrupted snoozing would be so much better than precious diamonds, glittering gold or even playing 18 holes with Willie Nelson on his private Hill Country golf course, though that runs a close second.

Down with RSV?

Ah, Montessori School , how I love thee! My sweet little baby has attended you for a month and a half now, and interestingly enough, it seems, my little guy has been sick more in the last month and a half than he has in his entire 18 months. I was aware that this would probably be an issue and tried not to be too surprised when he returned the very first day with a runny nose, but I’m afraid it seems to be getting a bit ridiculous!

The Newborn Puzzle

When I was 6 years old, I decided that newborns were boring. I had eagerly awaited the birth of my brother, but when he arrived, he wasn’t the playful, cute infant I expected. All he did was sleep and eat. BO-ring.

Now that I have a newborn, I realize that they’re not so much boring as they are a puzzle. Like a Rubik’s Baby. Yes, my baby Paloma’s activities are mostly limited to sleeping and eating, but she’s more complicated and mysterious than that.

Fear

My 18 month old is getting more and more brave and venturing away from me in wider and wider circles, his fear of separation a lot less than it used to be. This evening, while his dad and I cleaned out his drawers and closet, he headed to the kitchen and climbed into a chair facing our patio door. Then I heard the screaming. I know Owen’s screams. I know the “I’m hurt,” scream, and I know the “I’m mad” scream, but this was a scream I had never heard before. I ran as fast as I could from his room through the living room and into the kitchen and he flung himself into my arms sobbing.

The First Days of Parenthood

After Paloma was born via c-section, we headed back to our room at the hospital, where my mother, brother and friends were waiting. I was still in shock that my beautiful baby was here, and my brain was spinning with euphoric thoughts (I’m sure the morphine played a role in that!).
