Back To Reality

Today was my first real day back in "real" mode. Meaning, we had nothing big to do or get ready for as we have in the past weeks, even months. Also, I was back to being solo with Finley. Having Nate for the four days and having a weekend full of endless help from everyone was sooooooo nice!! Nope, today was just a big dose of reality of what our life is and will be for at least another 10 months. I think I forgot to mention how great Finley did all weekend up in Appleton. He is such a social baby and was happy to meet and greet everyone. He never minded if other people wanted to hold him and embraced everyone happily. I was feeling very proud and lucky to have such a good sport as a son but knew a little in the back of my head that I would probably pay for his good behavior once we got home. I don't mean that in a bad way but just that being so good for so long (the entire trip to ABQ and all weekend) would warrant some adjusting when we tried to get back to our normal routine at home. The price I paid actually came at the grocery store today. Did you know that large groceries store have a pretty good echo? When Finley decided to test out his "exorcist" screaming/screeching/gurgling at Woodman's and I found that out. He was just not happy grocery shopping and who can blame him? It's not my favorite chore either though necessary to do. Anyway, he has been pretty good otherwise. He slept wonderful last night, had a bit of trouble going to sleep tonight but all in all ok. I am still proud to be the mom of such an adorable, fun and social little guy (with occasional grocery store meltdowns). Real life...were back....
