Naptime Blog

I always thought it was so cute when people had pictures of their children and they were asleep doing various things. Like time froze and they just went to sleep. I never had pictures of Tristan like that, until now. It is like he refuses to miss anything. I love it. 

  Tristan is talking more and more. It is so amazing to me how you bring this baby into the world and they are so helpless and rely on you for everything, and at first sometimes you guess at what it needs. Now Tristan can tell me or show me what upsets him or what he needs. Sometimes I still have to guess but most of the time we have our own little communication ritual. Tristan also makes his own choices sometimes. He chooses not to say Da Da anymore. Nope Da Da is not Ma Ma and he laughs when he says it. He must know it drives Rick nuts. Sometimes Rick will say Da Da for hours and Tristan will laugh and call him Ma Ma. Its a little game they play. 

 The one plus of being laid off is more time with Tristan. I still take him to daycare everyday so he stays in a routine and it gives me time to job hunt. I no longer have to get him there at 6:30 am. Instead we get up and spend time together and I take him around 9am. These extra times are so special. I wish I could stay home with him full time. I just love that he has a second family ay daycare and you can tell he loves and cares for them. When I drop him off he goes around and gives hugs and kisses and says hi to everyone. He is a character and a creature of habit.
