The Jinx Factor
Why is that when you verbalize how good something is -it goes bad?
I always say how wonderufl my boy is. I am always amazed at how well-behaved he is at restaurants. How he never fusses in stores and how fun he is in all of his classes. I brag to my mom about how I can do anything around the house and he happily follows me along with his push cart and joyfully plays with his toys while I do what I need to do. Lately, I have just been feeling so proud of my easy happy baby.
Then yesterday afternoon rolled around and a button was hit somewhere on Logan's motherboard. He decided to become a whiner. A non-stop whiner. Nothing made him happy. Hugs, kisses, mommy, daddy, dogs, cat, toys, tickles - nothing. Yet, physically there seemed to be nothing wrong. No sign of sickness. Nothing. Just crankiness.
So I figured that maybe he was extra tired for whatever reason. Put him to bed early and it was a breeze. The boy was aching for some sleep. I figured it was just a bad day and after a good nights sleep he will be refreshed and back to normal come morning.
And morning came. We went for our new routine walk with grandpa and he was as happy as can be as usual. Got home and was fone for a bit then became extrememly cranky just before his morning nap. So he took his nap, then had lunch and boom the crankiness emerged yet again.
Then grandpa came over to babysit while my husband and I tended to (something not fun). And a fussy baby was grandpas gift for the afternoon. He only napped a half hour and was ready for dinner and early bedtime again once we got home.
I don't like this one bit! I want to be the obnoxious bragging mom, not the whiny mom with the whiny baby.
Oh and I still indulge in a nighttime breastfeed with him just before bed. My favorite part of the day. But, that's it. He hasn't nursed during the day for awhile. This afternon when we got home, he was so cranky it was the only thing that would calm him and it was for like a half hour. I felt like I had a newborn again. He would not stop and if I unlatched him - a screamfest.
Not sure what this is all about. He gets ton of attention all day, so I can't imagine it being that. Could it be more teeth??? Just don't know. But, I hope this ends soon. I am spoiled by his happy little self. I'm not ready for this whiny stuff and I want to keep my desire for having more kids.
Gosh, it's only been 2 days, what will happen to me if this continues a whole week?

Sometimes they just have down times, I think... babies are just little people and since our moods go up and down it's not unreasonable to expect that theirs would too. Hopefully he gets back to normal soon- maybe it is teeth, I know Lochlan get quite bearlike when he's teething. (Thank god for baby pain relievers!!!) Good Luck! I hope he's at least sleeping mostly well... TTYL
How're things going, Summer? Has Logan gone back to being his usual sweet self? TTYL
