Choices, I Guess

I wanted to do the prompt about describing your day with a song, but I am stumped as for what to do.  I think I may put this one on the back burner and do it another day.

Tots is becoming more and more opinionated every day.  He tells me what he wants to eat, which jammies he wants to wear, what towel will be his bath towel.  It’s kind of fun.  Since that night that he wanted to wear his pajamas from the night before, I’ve been showing him two different jammies, and he gets to pick which one he wants.  In fact, as I was carrying the ones he picked to his room, he told me that I needed to get sockies, too.  I told him that that set didn’t need sockies, because the sockies were built in.  I gave him his options again, these with no sockies or those with sockies.  He stuck by his first choice.

I had to use the cry it out method again.  Last night, he just didn’t want to go to sleep in his bed, so we let him cry it out.  He was knocked out within four minutes.  I appreciate you guys sharing that you had to do it at one point or another.  I know that it isn’t a bad thing to do if you need it.  I don’t want to do it all the time, because that would make me feel like I’m not trying hard enough, or like I’m cheating.  But we’ll use it when both of us at just at the end of our ropes.  Tonight, though, he woke up a little, so I handed him my braid and shhh’ed at him, and he fell back asleep.

Today, we went to my work to get some espresso, because I felt like the walking dead for some reason.  (I think it must have been the different schedule because of Thanksgiving.)  I don’t drink much caffeine when I’m not working, but today I needed it.  Dancey had one with me, and it helped both of us.  We ended up hanging around for more than an hour.  Tots likes to run around in there, rearrange the coffee wall, and push in chairs.  I talked with Dancey and Pal.  Mr. T came in a little while after Tots and I got there, so we talked for a bit.  He was kind of grumbly today, so playing with Tots cheered him up.

I went to the grocery store today.  Like I’ve written before, I just go there.  I didn’t really need anything.  Oh well.  I noticed that, for the most part, I shop kind of healthy.  I don’t buy cookies or cakes or candy.  I’m always bringing home fruits and veggies and stuff that’s whole grain.  I don’t buy a bunch of junk food.  If a juice isn’t 100% juice, I don’t even bother with it.  The only thing that I bought today that isn’t so great was a Meat Loaf Banquet meal, for Pi.  It’s got a lot of sodium in it, but he doesn’t eat them everyday. 

Did I mention yet that Tots blows kisses?
