9 months in...

The Little O

We knew our son enough at 9 months to realize that he was terrified...absolutely terrified...of everything.
Looking back, there were some things we missed:
He didn't talk.
He didn't do anything to cause trouble.
He was a good quiet boy who mostly played in the corner.
He always played where he could see us, but was far enough away to escape if needed.
He was still delayed in language, apparently both languages.
Our primary focus shifted to making him feel safe before all else.





Mom Update

I've Struggled. I've struggled more than hubby. I have a repeating cycle of ups & downs. Thank goodness dh works from home because I have relied on him much more than I imagined I would. I sometimes sneak into his office for a quick break hoping no one saw me. Sometimes I send a kid into his office when I can't deal with their problem/issue/drama at that moment.
I've found it difficult to write at times. I'm not sure what I'll want to remember & what I'd rather forget.

Life feels a lot like when I first became a mom:
Exhausted
House a mess
Catching naps just to make it thought the day.

We are planning our first family vacation. It's crossed my mind that this might be a bad idea. I have heard some horror stories. There's only one way to find out...
