We skipped our sign and sing class on Monday. I wasn't feeling that great and hadn't slept well the night before. I would have taken Alex anyway if it was something he loved or even kind of liked, but I didn't feel up to fighting with him the whole time. I'm planning to go next week, but I'm pretty sure it will go the same way it did the last time.
So, I'm officially a home owner. We went to sign a stack of paperwork and do a wire transfer for the down payment this morning. I'm less excited than I thought I would be, but I feel like that about everything else these days too. I was proud of how well Alex did during all the boring signing. I bribed him with granola bars, fruit snacks, and blueberries, but I was still proud of him.
Naptime and bedtime were both rough today. I'm ridiculously tired and I should go to bed, but I end up staying up way too late because it's the only time I have to myself. I need to stop doing that, though, because 5:00 a.m. rolls around too early and I am, apparently, the only adult in the house that Alex finds acceptable at that hour. I can't wait until he sleeps in when he's a teenager.
He is, of course, much cuter than a surly teen right now, as evidenced by this picture of him pretending my heating pad control is a phone.
