Busy Busy Bees

We have had alot going on! Mostly good, some sad, some bad. Bad is over, and I'm not going to give it any time here, and sad has already been visited!

So on with the good- Cameron is making serious strides of improvement since we started his bowel program and took away dairy. I have slowly reintroduced 1-2 servings of dairy a day- but no more than that. He loves the almond milk, so that has worked out alright! He is now regular thankfully and the medicine to relax his digestive system is working amazing. He isn't having any reflux problems since we got the regimen on track. YAY! So guess what this means?! He is starting to sleep!!!! He is sleeping 5-7 hour stretches!! He has been going down between 8-9, sleeping until 2-4 then here is the hang up- he thinks it's okay to stay awake for 2 hours!! But finally goes back down for another 3-4 hours. It has been LOVELY to get some blocks of sleep. 15 months of no sleep is a killer.
While he is up, I just hold him in the dark. No talking, no playing. Sometimes he fights and screams or babbles… but I want him to learn that night time isn't for fun.

We have been busy with yard projects: we bought 4 TONS of gravel for our park strip and next to our driveway. We are still putting it into place but it is coming along nicely!

We are also building raised beds around 2 edges of our yard and building trellises so I can do vertical gardening and hopefully get a better crop- vertical to avoid the voles/gophers and raised with metal mesh in the bottom to protect my root vegetables! I am really excited about this and I am hoping to have a really good garden this year! Because of this project, my garden is going in 2 weeks late- I am sad about that but I hope that doesn't limit my harvest too much!

We play lots outside- and right now Cameron is getting into a challenging phase where he throws some nasty tantrums and gets into lots of trouble- all super normal, but challenging and busy nontheless. Here are some of our fun goings on!

He likes to eat the dirt from my flower pots. Gross. But he thinks it's great. Dirt and Cat food. Two of his favorites!!

Right after he swept the driveway and ate some dirt for snack, he took it upon himself to give the sprinkler a try. He was upset about having his clothes wet, but once I stripped him down, there was no stopping him. Most kids run away from the sprinkles, Cameron ran right for them!

You can never have too many Nutter Butter's in your mouth...

BWAHAHAHA- He blows raspberries on my window 

 

Oh! I forgot to mention toilet paper on the roll- yes, he eats that too…..
