Friday Funday and Tongue-Tied

Things went well today with BB. I loosened up my standards and was able to let things go and flow easier. This morning, huddled around BB's little desk coloring, we happily spent an hour in the small bedroom while the hubs had his meeting. Then, our time outside was also fun after I used chalk and a stone to create a couple different games on the sidewalk. BB even simply ran like a madman for a bit!

So, I'm feeling better in that regard. That said, I'm tongue-tied. "Words for Wednesday" just wasn't happening and I'm having trouble commenting on other blog posts. Hell, I'm ready to wrap up this post and I've typed two small paragraphs! I'll wait and see. Hopefully the words return. For now, I'll watch another soap video.

Be well :o)

Miss Teacher

BB is wrapped up in his Toy Story 4 fleece blanket squirming around with exaggerated moans in the midst of a tantrum. Thankfully a quiet tantrum considering the hubster has to take part in a conference call in a few minutes. I'm sitting off to the side by the door to his room on my lappy waiting things out, anticipating the next 45-60 minutes trapped in this small room with my 5 yo.

I'm Miss Teacher at the moment. Since BB has been home this week full time we explained that I am now his teacher. There was a bit of controversy about what to call me considering his teachers are Mr. and Ms. First Names. I couldn't go by Miss Hannah with my child. No thank you, no way! So somehow he landed on Miss Teacher for the day.

BB's introduction to Nutella

It hasn't been awful being Miss Teacher. The routine is very helpful getting through the day. That said, I'm not adjusting all that quick. Tuesday I started getting snippy. We started on Monday. The schedule is working out although there are some gaps. Thankfully he plays solo pretty well. The hubs says I'm being hard on myself for thinking that I can't do this when it's only been a few days. I can see that. I can also see being totally fed up with this in a few more (nervous laugh). 

I don't know how full time parents do it! I can spend all day with the hubbo but with BB just his voice and all the repetitive conversation gets under my skin. Hopefully this is part of the transition and building up a tolerance. I've always known I wasn't a baby person and I relate better with middle schoolers and up as a teacher, so maybe that's part of the equation too. 

In other news, my sister stopped by my apartment without warning late last week. It shook me up. Now I'm dreading Easter. Not that it's any guarantee that we get to celebrate Easter what with the shelter in place order. We doubt social gatherings over 6 will be allowed then, but who knows. And who knows whether we'll go anyways.
