2) Cordelia cried last night from 8:47 p.m. until approximately 7:00 a.m. with just one small break (because she was lying on top of me) from about 5:00-6:00. Not the "hey, let's hang out instead of sleep!" fussing. The kind where she whimpered over and over, "Hurt! Hurt!" and I counted the minutes until the doctor's office opened.
3) Cordelia has a garishly infected ear.
4) I have been awake since Sunday at 5:00 a.m.
5) As I am typing this, she has started crying.
6) In the meantime, Cody has been what nice people would call "challenging" and honest people would call "out of control" for the past, oh, three weeks. Like, so much so that my parents even went pale. And wouldn't meet my eyes. Yep. That's my kid. Just at home though. I'm told he is the loveliest child ever outside of the home. That doesn't really help, though.
7) So I thought it would be good for all of us to reflect on some of the things that we love and adore about him until he exorcises these toddler demons and graces us with the self you will see below--the self he is at his core, and his best, but has mostly refused to exhibit lately, unless other people are around.
8) I think the Christmas card has just taken care of itself.
9) More tomorrow. Except I have to get up at 4:30 to go to work. So, possibly more later in the week.
10) He is not easy, but he sure is a looker.
