Sammie's Daily Log

Daily Summary:

Overall, today was a really rough day.

Sammie was in a sick, tired and cranky/uncooperative mood.

I (Mom or Dad) was in a sick, tired, cranky/uncooperative mood.

The weather was irrelevant since we didn't go outside.

Daily Notes: Because today was an exceptionally rough day on all fronts, I will not be doing a full log since it would be mostly blank and/or not particularly relevant. I will do summaries by section instead. 

Sleep

Early wake up (640am), coupled with a very late nap (2pm-4pm despite all efforts otherwise). Late bedtime, (after 1030pm, despite all efforts otherwise including driving for 1.5 hours). Spent the day and went to sleep in fleece pjs- is he possibly having issues with the material? We wondered about this when he was younger. 

Food

Sammie ate very little all day, and mostly drank water/juice. When he did eat, he snacked on crackers, etc. 

Key Activities for the day:

With the exception of a few bursts of energy dispersed throughout the day, Sammie was general quiet and uncooperative today. He was exceptionally cranky, which didn't jive well with his exceptionally cranky mom. It was an off day for both. By the evening, things had improved post nap but he was still not himself. His cold is clearly affecting his behaviour. 

Milestones:

Not only were there no milestones, but there appeared to be regressions in Sammie's communication (expressive and receptive) today. This is likely due to him being sick, cranky and tired. It is also likely due to the fact that mom was completely unengaged with him since she was equally under the weather. There were some intermittent snuggles, but for the most part the day was spent with Sammie and Mommy being very oppositional to each other.

In the evening, Sammie did experience about half an hour of very engaged, interactive play with mom and dad.  He ran up and down the hallway, between mom and dad, and gave them hugs back and forth.  He then engaged with mom is some 1-2-3 FLIP! play and was very patient during the 1-2-3 parts. 

Not one of our finest days by far. Hopefully tomorrow Sammie is feeling well enough to venture out of the house and get some social interaction time as I believe that cabin fever is contributing to his overall behaviour (and I *know* that it is contributing to mine).
