I suppose the biggest news after this first full week of childcare is that ec now takes his bottles with no problem. Yesterday we even used thawed breast milk, which we had avoided at first because it can taste different apparently. So hurray for ec!
While es goes to her room after lunch a little easier now, she only slept one day (maybe two) this week. That day she decided to put on her nightie and actually get into her bed instead of resting on the floor. We had a couple of rough times. After going to the park, she did not want to get out of the stroller at home. Part of this was my fault; we went out after lunch instead of before, so she was probably more tired and thus less amenable. And yesterday, after no nap, she was a bit cranky and I did not respond well. My excuse? The heat. Being able to open the two screened windows in the den helps a lot, providing a cross breeze. But the past couple of days have been quite warm.
One day, while we were all three in the bathroom as I used "the facilities," es began crying. She was sitting on a stool by the tub. I think she must have seen the silverfish I had noticed, but she wouldn't use her words to tell me what was wrong. Then ec joined in, perhaps thinking, " If my sister is crying maybe I should." So as soon as I finished we left the room, with es still crying. E came down to see what was wrong. Things calmed down, but es was clingy for quite a while. We don't know where or why she has picked up this apparent fear of things like bugs and snails.
