Today is my first day at home alone with Johnny. Steve made the kid's lunch and grabbed some extra snacks, then piled them all on the bed next to me. He filled 2 or 3 cups and lined them up in the refrigerator so that Little Man can get them whenever he wants. Johnny has already made use of the pile of goodies. Good call, daddy!
With pleas to Johnny that he only use the potty today and avoid getting his diaper dirty and a reminder to be extra careful with mommy, Steve was out the door. I only have to make it until a little after 3 and then Gary (Steve's dad) is picking the kiddo up. 4 more hours. It shouldn't be too bad. I was hoping to be well enough to do this without a second thought by now, but I am continuing to heal slower than the docs expected.
In the world of major progress with Johnny, I'm proud to announce that he got a haircut at a salon! Successfully! Without tears! And he even smiled at one point!!! Proud mama right here! (Notice all the exclamation points?) He sat very still, watched in the mirror and came out looking like quite the dapper young man. I couldn't have been more excited. I spent the rest of the night repeatedly telling Steve that we have an awesome big boy who got a haircut and did a great job. I think Steve was annoyed by the time the night ended, but I was so overjoyed! This has been something we have battled for the past 3 1/2 years (his first trim was around his first birthday) and I can't believe he has finally had a good experience.
So proud.
