This was kind of a crazy week. Our babysitter’s daughter tested positive for H1N1.  I had to figure out a way to care for Thomas.  I stayed home on Monday and Tuesday, but I really had to get back to work.  I was giving a big test on Wednesday, and had a parent conference scheduled.  So, my husband stayed home that day.  He managed to find a stroller with a 5-point harness  on Craigslist for $25.  It even has a snack tray!  It’s an older Eddie Bauer stroller. It’s pretty chunky, but Thomas seems to like it.

I was preparing to stay home again on Thursday, but a friend with a 10 month old was kind enough to take Thomas for the day.  They ended up having a great time, and even napped at the same time!  I’m home with him again today, enjoying every snuggly minute.  The only trouble I ran into this week was nap time. He would not nap!!!  He went down between 1 and 2 pm every time I stayed home with him.  On Tuesday, I had a dentist appointment at 3pm, and he still hadn’t napped at 2pm.  My neighbor was coming to watch him while I was gone.  I let him sleep on the couch, because he would not fall asleep in his bed.  He woke up about 5 minutes before I got home, and my neighbor told me he just rolled over and smiled at her.  Of course, he screamed bloody murder when I left him with my friend on Thursday, but he stopped crying a few minutes later.  We’ll be back to our normal routine on Monday, thank goodness.
