Day 139...comunication malfunction

Jun 7

Communication break down! Uhg. I won't get into all the details of it, but today at work my boss and I had a major communication malfunction. I was pulling my hair out practically trying to figure out what the heck happened, still am not entirely sure, ha!

It got worked out and was fine in the long run, but boy it was frustrating. I hate it when people are frustrated, and just raise their voice instead of actually trying to figure out, or work out the problem....."Raising your voice, the next best thing to being right." Anyway, I'm over it.

So today was Martyn's first day with the new babysitter. He was sleeping pretty soundly on her when I got there to pick him up. That's a good sign. I said "how was your day?" She says, it was pretty good. Martyn was a good boy for her it sounds like. He woke up when she was putting him in the car seat, so I picked him up and he smiled at her.....sometimes I'm a little jealous how much he smiles at other people. Then I remember how much he smiles at me too though. He started giving me little baby boy hugs when I hold him up. It is a serious heart melter.

When we got home, I decided Martyn needed and would like a little bath. I didn't feel like taking a bath with him though, and giving him a bath in the big tub with out being in with him is a pain in the back. So I got the little baby bath out, filled it up and brought it out to the living room and put a towel under it. I decided he could sit in it, since he's been sitting up so well. He really liked it! He got a little excited and splashed a bunch of water out.....so I took him out for a few minutes and poured some of the water out. That was much better. He was diggin' it. Splashing his hands, and kicking his feet, all while sitting up. Then he spit up in the water, and really grossed me out, so I took him out. It was still cool though. I had to really make sure he didn't lean over too far though. He wanted to lean forward, and grab the little baby sponge I had for him, and kept nearly sticking his face in the water. Mostly he sat up well, and splashed the water out of the tub.

Tonight I'm conducting an experiment. Martyn was totally ready for bed at like 7:30, so I nursed him and put him in the bassinet. I switched sides of the bed with Eli, so I can get him if he wakes up....I know I said I was going to wait until we got back from San Diego, but it just struck me that tonight may be a good night to try. We'll see how it goes.
