Back to the Routine!

It was very difficult to get back to work this week, and especially difficult when we remembered where we were at such and such time last week. It wasn't easier when the snow started to come now, either, despite how beautiful it was. Thomas is starting to assert his little will more and more these days, and it's becoming more and more apparent that it is truly a job raising a child. On Wednesday, while visiting the toy store and playing with trains, Thomas threw his first tantrum, ending in him throwing himself on the ground and laying there, apparently in mutiny! I had a hard time not breaking out in a fit of giggles at how silly he looked, just lying there on the ground looking around, as if to say, "Hey, whatcha gonna do about it now, Mom?" Chalk one up to me as I hauled his silly buns out of there, again trying not to laugh at his antics, and took him home. I didn't rub it in that due to his little fit he'd missed his chance to go with Mommy to see Curious George. We'll have to try that again tomorrow.
