pros & cons *luke’s party details

i just woke up (holy crap, i slept in!! well, sleeping in for me).
and two things came to my mind.

One Really Awesome Thing About 1 Year Olds

They start sleeping in. OMG. I never thought I’d see this day! I mean, Luke has been sleeping anywhere from 10 – 12 hours since he was 4 months old and does so on his own after putting himself to sleep…..so I have had absolutely NOTHING to complain about! But, getting up at 6am really kind of sucked most days. Especially since my bedtime had to be SO early in order to get enough sleep, and once in a while I feel like acting like an adult! Ya know, doing things like……*gasp* staying up til 11pm! This is so nice. It’s 8-freakin’-o-clock right now, and luke is still asleep. I love it!!

One Really Not-Awesome Thing About 1 Year Olds

Tantrums. Since when did this stop being a terrible two thing and start being a one year old thing? At Luke’s 12 month appt they asked me all the usual developmental questions and one of them was "How often does he throw tantrums?". And I was like….."tantrums?? Um, never?" She was really shocked by this and said "Really?? You’re really lucky then". I told her that he might cry for a minute if I tell him no about something but nothing I’d qualify as a tantrum. She told me to watch out because they should be starting. It’s almost like Luke heard that as an instruction because….HERE THEY ARE! Matt commented last night "geez you’re turning into a cry-ey toddler" and I was like….ugh, it’s tantrums. They only happen when he’s nearing bed or nap time, and if you take something away he really wanted. Like, the remote for the TV. I experimented with him a little yesterday, giving it back to him when he first started throwing a fit to see how quickly he perked up (just checking how much he was truly acting), and it took a nano-second. I took it away again and it was like I told him bottles were illegal or something. So, that’s a lot of fun.
