Day 300 - First Day Alone

Clint went back to work today. After 3 weeks, I was really worried about being home by myself with two kids. I didn't sleep very well because I was paranoid about being on my own with Jonas and things going badly. Jonas has been really, really, really hard lately. It wasn't too bad, until he didn't take his nap. So I figured I would go play with him, and take a picture of him playing. He wanted to play with his race car track, so I thought it would be fun to try to take a picture of the car zooming by to show how fast it was going. I got this pic:

Not as cool as I thought, but then he started acting out and, needless to say, I didn't get any more pics for the day. So we're stuck with this one. Oh well. Hopefully things will get better with him. I think he's just bored. We don't have a car and we aren't going outside. Plus, he's been waking up early, like 6:00 or earlier type early, and Alexis goes to bed late, so even though she sleeps 3 1/2 to 4 hours before I feed her, I'm still not getting much sleep. And either is Clint. Man, two kids is significantly harder than one. Things will get better, I tell myself. Hopefully with Clint back at work, we all can get back on a normal routine.

Oh, and by the way, we stopped the potty training. I wasn't ready. I couldn't do it by myself. I was crying a lot about it and worrying about taking care of Alexis while trying to get Jonas to not pee in his pants, and take him to the toilet every 1/2 hour, and still take care of myself and all that postpartum stuff, so we figured it wasn't worth my sanity to potty train him yet. I'm pretty sure he would have done it within a week or so because he was peeing in the toilet, as long as we took him every 20-30 minutes. But I just wasn't ready.
