Those Days.
Today is one of ‘those days.’ Those days when Wrigglebot is happy neither on the floor nor in my arms, neither in the car nor in his cot. When he cries if he loses sight of me and he cries if food is not ready quickly. One of those days when he is so tired he is rubbing his eyes, whining and pulling on his ears yet when he is put in his cot he miraculously revives.
These days don’t come along very often but when they do all routine is thrown out the window, there will be no leisurely visits to friends today. I have tried to pinpoint the cause of his behaviour; it could be his restless night sleep, he could have wind, he could be hot, he could have a sore stomach or my personal favourite excuse for poor behaviour, teething. It is the excuse that you can use without fail for almost two years.
The truth is I don’t know why he is whining today, but it doesn’t happen very often and so I will put up with it today, though I am looking forward to bedtime.

Hang in there Michelle. I know what those days are like. Tommorrow will be better.

‘Those days’ seem to be few and far between for me also, but ‘those days’ do seem to last forever… a nice long drive in the car can do wonders for your sanity, and who knows he might even have a sleep!

Yeah, we did end up going for a drive which helped although Wrigglebot is now stubbornly not falling asleep in the car unless we are withing a 2 minute radius of home after a long trip. The day has past now and everything is back to normal thankfully!
