The boy learned to flip back-to-front on Friday, and since then he always does it when he's trying to fall asleep, so he ends up sleeping, if not entirely on his tummy, MOSTLY there except for his right arm that sticks out so he can suck his thumb, so his upper half is on his side and his bottom half is on his tummy. He seems to nap better this way. Strangely he still sleeps at night contently on his back, but during the day he has to twist over like this. It's like his way of saying "Take that, Back-To-Sleep Campaigners! I refuse to obey all mandates!" Which pretty much fits with his personality, which he has apparently inherited solely from his dad. That COULD be a good thing in the long run... but makes for a rather scary childhood for mom!
Yeah, we went to Baby Ellie's Due Date Party on Saturday night, and unfortunately Sammy seems to have outgrown his ability to Fall Asleep Anywhere In the Middle Of Anything, so he was really fussy and tired when bedtime hit but he would NOT fall asleep, so giving up we almost went home, except we went to sit by the bonfire and there Sammy calmed right down, you guessed it, mesmerized by the flames.
He's also apparently teething. This resulted in some Bad moments-- he had a really bad evening/night last friday, screaming and rubbing his head/tugging at his ear (actually, this was when he first flipped over, in the middle of a screaming and thrashing session, but he's done it many times since then without the screaming and thrashing so I guess it counts), which made me call the doctor to see if his ear infection hadn't gone away yet. But we went to the doctors' Saturday morning and both ears were perfectly healed, so it was all pronounced as Probably Teething, especially since his thrashing also included attempting to shove both hands into his mouth as deep as they could go. He's definitely reached the oral phase of development. He has a thing for shoving fabric in his mouth. Probably because it gives more than toys and such-- whenever he tries to put toys in his mouth he usually misses, or hits at a weird angle, so he gets frustrated and gives up. Another funny pathetic frustration of his is the spinny toy on the tray of his swing. He gets really furious at it because it's firmly attached and won't come to his mouth when he pulls on it. Sammy is I guess what they call a "spirited" child-- everything he does is full of energy and intensity. Most of the time he is exuberantly thrilled with life, except when he gets frustrated with something, at which point he becomes Very Put Out. (This is also pretty much directly inherited from his father, if you don't know his father). Actually, I could tell that about him from Day One, but I thought I'd use the description to sum up. It makes me happy, because not that I wouldn't love my son anyway, but I get along well with energetic, spirited kids, as long as they're nice kids (you know, the kind that get in trouble CONSTANTLY, but it's not out of malice, just the inability to behave). Actually I get along well with grownups like that too. Possibly part of why I married my husband. Their energy gives me energy and I like that! But, like I said at the end of the first paragraph... it does make motherhood, uh, interesting.
But showing you how much my life is running around already, I must point out that when I started typing this, Sammy was down for a nap, and NOW he is down for the night. Just to be even more ornery, I will now paste in a long survey I filled out YESTERDAY... which means all the answers apply to yesterday instead of today, but that's their problem:
First off, what is your name
Mommy
What did you do last night?
writhed in discomfort from a digestive upset that I suspect was triggered by my back problems.
Do you have a best friend that you can talk to 24/7?
Does anyone have anybody they can talk to 24/7? I have a best friend I LIVE with, and not only are we not even TOGETHER 24/7, but there's also the middle of the night when one or another of us is more awake and the more asleep one mutters "Sleepy" which is a nice way of saying "Leave me alone"
Do you have any siblings?
Yeah, a sister and a brother (left this verbatim). Then again I also have a sister in law, a soon-to-be-brother-in-law, and a deceased sister.
How many years apart is your mom and dad?
My dad is two months and one day older than my mom, and they were both a year younger than most of the people in their class at school, because they're just dorks that way.
Do you like someone?
Seriously, what kind of cranky people write these surveys?
What does the 7th message in your text inbox say?
I just deleted all of them, but it was something whiny and misspelled for someone named Pam. Finally the guy CALLED and found out he had the wrong number, so I stopped getting Pam's text messages.
Who sat beside you in math?
Well, the first person I think of is Steve Manges, who sat directly in FRONT of me during high school math (geometry and trigonometry) and kept me pretty entertained during what were two severely boring classes. He eventually married my friend Kari who was one of Sharon Mewherter's best friends in high school. I say that so all the HC people can play Six Degrees of Separation. Or three degrees.
The second person I think of is Kristen who shared my table in Teaching Elementary School Math I. We had a lot of fun playing with the math manipulatives.
Where is your dad right now?
New Alexandria I assume. Now that he's retired, I suppose he could be anywhere.
Do you burn incense?
No, not good for baby lungs.
Do you have a problem?
I have a lot of them. Where should I start? (also leaving verbatim)
Who is the 5th person you got a missed call from?
Probably Jason, because who else calls my cell phone?
Closest purple object?
An envelope on top of the monitor that is full of baby pictures of Jason. Oh, also a wristband from the zoo that is stuck lower down the monitor and might actually be closer.
Closest silver object?
Nail clippers, though I doubt they are the METAL silver
Closest yellow object?
Stripe on the Big Red packet that says "Freshens breath LONGER." I believe I've written before on the fallacies in that ad campaign.
Do you sing in the shower?
Really that's like the only place I DON'T sing. Though I remember practicing for "Oklahoma" tryouts in the shower. In tenth grade.
What is bugging you right now?
An itch on the back of my neck.
Can you cross your eyeballs?
Probably do.
Do you know all the words to the Star Spangled Banner?
Only the first verse
When is the last time you said the pledge of allegiance?
Think I had to running circle time at the day care last summer. I went for years not actually saying it even when everyone around me was, including when I was actually the teacher at the head of the class, but when it's really young kids you can't get away with not saying it.
If you could kill someone, who would it be?
What, you're giving me permission to kill someone? I'd prefer to go my entire life NEVER having the need to kill ANYONE, thanks.
Do you have any fears?
The biggest, anything bad happening to my boys (the big one and the little one).
What do you hear right now?
"Just What I Needed," by the Cars, a riding mower in the park, my gum being chewed, and the keys of this keyboard clicking.
Do you like kangaroos?
As much as any animal.
Can you roll your tongue?
Yes.
What are you wearing?
GAMES T-shirt (which I won by being a runner-up in a GAMES contest, go me) and blue jean shorts. And glasses and underthings.
Who was the last person to message you?
On a phone, the poor guy trying to reach Pam. Online, either Jason, Kubik, or one of the O'Connors (Rifts campaign)
Do you like emo kids?
Depends on the person, like any category of people.
Screamo or Country?
Say what?
Polka or Disco?
Depends on the song. But probably polka, because there's much less variation in quality of polka. There's good disco and bad disco, but polka's just pretty much polka.
Flying or Driving?
Flying, except for the cost.
Who last called you?
Jason's dad, but maybe that doesn't count because he was actually just looking for Jason. Then Jason, wanting to know if he should pick up something at the store.
Was your Valentine's day nice?
I don't actually remember it at all, actually.
What are you doing now?
Taking this survey, which is of course time that could be better spent on a million other things, but I haven't taken a survey in a long time. And chewing gum. And bobbing my head to "Bubble Toes" by Jack Johnson before he suddenly became big last year.
Who was the last person you said I love you to?
SAMMY!
Would you die for someone?
I'd like to think I would
Have you ever moved out of state?
No...
Do long distance relationships work?
Depending on the people
Do you have any pet peeves?
Many, but I'm trying to block them out.
Do you have to pee right now?
No, which probably indicates that I need to drink more, which I also think may be what's affecting my back.
When did you last talk to one of your siblings?
posted stuff to my sister this weekend. Talked to both in person not this past saturday but the one before.
What are you doing tomorrow?
La Leche League meeting maybe.
Do you worry about getting older?

Jason does.
Do you own a pogo stick?
No, but my sister recently bought me a hula hoop.
Ever gone a whole day without eating?
Not completely without, though I did go a long time ALMOST not eating if my friends hadn't been forcing me to eat just a bit the time we went to NYC in 11th grade. It turned out I was getting an ear infection.
Do you own ripped jeans?
Yes, but they weren't ripped on PURPOSE. That's just a waste.
What makes you mad?
As opposed to my pet peeves?
How would you feel if you found out that you were adopted?
I'd be really curious to know why Danny, whose gestation I witnessed, looks exactly like me.
Are you jealous a lot of the time?
A lot of the time? No.
Do you use a calendar or day planner to schedule everything on?
I have nothing to schedule.
Are you OCD?
No?

Some show about jails on Court TV, which I was really just watching while I waited for my rice pack to heat up last night.
When was the last time you had professional pictures taken?
Probably my wedding.

What is your favorite movie?
Just one? I have no clue. Star wars? Lord of the Rings? Almost Famous?
Who do you love?
You
What is playing on your MP3 player right now?
"Remember a Day," by Pink Floyd. If by MP3 player you mean my computer which in fact plays MP3s.

Easter, unless Easter is very late in April, then the answer might be St. Patrick's Day.

Skim milk
Do you own any big sunglasses?
Pretty big. I wear them over my glasses, so they'd have to be. (Got that from my mom. We are such dorks)

At the zoo.
Has anyone ever sang or played for you personally?
Yeah. But they also all knew me personally.
Have you ever bungee jumped?
No.
Where was the last place you went besides your house?
Church
What's the first thing you notice about the same sex?
How dorky or undorky they look, to judge how easy it might be to talk to them.

It depends on what feelings and which someone. (Also leaving)
Why are people such self-centered beings?
Fear
Does someone have a crush on you?
Jason?
Last thing you ate?
Besides gum, a bowl of Life mixed with Honey Bunches of Oats because I only had half a bowl of Life left.

Not at all, they just have high expectations.
What's the last movie you saw?
Hmm, "Dreamgirls" I think, which was great fun.

Only in the sense that I'm not a MEAN person, and I try to be nice to people, but I'm not very forward and outgoing.

What did you dream last night?
Something about a school festival with a scary jazz band.

This is the second time I have had a dream involving this so-called Mike Weasley (I forget if I mentioned that in a comment to my own journal or somebody else's), and no, Nathan, he's still definitely not gay, but this time there WAS yet ANOTHER another Weasley named Peter who was apparently a transvestite. That or he turned into Professor Trelawney halfway through the dream. Anyway.
Yeah, we went to Baby Ellie's Due Date Party on Saturday night, and unfortunately Sammy seems to have outgrown his ability to Fall Asleep Anywhere In the Middle Of Anything, so he was really fussy and tired when bedtime hit but he would NOT fall asleep, so giving up we almost went home, except we went to sit by the bonfire and there Sammy calmed right down, you guessed it, mesmerized by the flames.

Something about a school festival with a scary jazz band.
though, in the interest of me pasting this in a day later, the REAL last night I again dreamt that there is yet another Weasley brother whose name is Mike. This is the second time I have had a dream involving this so-called Mike Weasley (I forget if I mentioned that in a comment to my own journal or somebody else's), and no, Nathan, he's still definitely not gay, but this time there WAS yet ANOTHER another Weasley named Peter who was apparently a transvestite. That or he turned into Professor Trelawney halfway through the dream. Anyway.
