There's been things that are worth writing down for memory's sake and I just haven't done it yet. The biggest is that Peter is no longer nursing. I went to Leadership Academy at the end of January and when Peter asked to nurse when I got home, I told they were broken. Tonight was the first time (it's been almost 2 weeks!) that he didn't ask for a nurse. I've been wearing a bra to bed, but the other night I didn't. He crawled in bed and asked for a nurse. I told him they were broken, but he grabbed me and said, "No, they're fixed!' and laughed. That night may have been the last time he's asked actually. The first three days after I got back I didn't really stress about nap time. But, day 3 I did try to put him down for a nap like normal. He was really upset that he couldn't get his nurse. I laid down on the bed like normal, and he got up and pouted. He told him, "I not sleepy. Just nurse!" He left the room and banged around a bit, then pretty soon he was back - naked - and telling me he wanted a nurse. Eventually he came and snuggled up to me -complaining the whole time that he didn't want to go to sleep - and fell asleep. It's gotten better since, but our schedules have been crazy enough that it's not been stressful. The next step is to get him to sleep in his own bed without me laying down with him.
This boy is obsessed with Superman, Captain America, and Batman. He wears his Superman cape every day and will usually say, "I'm Superman!" and then ask who we are - or will ask if we are someone specific. Today we spent the day at the Hales house and tonight when he saw L he said with a grovelly voice, "Because I'm Batman!" It was funny. And later on I was on facebook and JHale's pic came up b/c we were messaging. Peter saw her and said, "I LOVE Sis Hales" over and over. It was sweet.
An incident happened at church tonight with J (two weeks ago it was A :P). Basically him and 2 other boys were left behind. I sent a text to all the YM leaders and the pres responded with great apology. I think J felt bolstered by my championing him. He was pretty upset before. I felt like the issue was pretty much resolved, and then I got a FB msg from his wife saying she thought I was out of line for what I did. I responded with what I hope was a kind response, but unfortunately now I feel there is 'a disturbance in the force.' gossip goes a long way.... But really, why did no one notice three boys were missing?! And if they did, why did they not seek them out?! This is the heart of the issue. And I know that he feels awful about it and I think Jared is over at this point, so as long as they learned from this I'm fine. There's just weirdness now..... ugh.
On another note. I've put myself on Instagram to try and generate new business. I had my first person answer my call to action and join my MIJ group! YAY!!
