Conner woke me up at 4 something in the morning yesterday screaming, crying, and carrying on. I gave him to my Mom to get him back down since I had to be up in a few hours for work. I slept until 6 something maybe, if that. Conner gave me a card and destroyed the envelope. At this point, he doesn't understand why if you give him a card it's not his and that he's supposed to give it to whoever he's told to. I gave my Mom her cards, one from Conner and one from me, myself. I also gave her the green John Deere T-shirt that Conner and I got her. I did work 9 to 3 yesterday. There were a lot of customers who tried to make me feel bad for spending Mother's Day at work, but I told them that staying home doesn't pay the bills, buy diapers, or groceries for my son. What I really wanted was for Conner to just get rid of his blasted sinus infection, but it's too early to tell if he's getting better or not. Last time we thought he was getting better, but it he wasn't because it came back worse than ever a few days after taking that medicine. I did get a lot of hugs, kisses, and snuggles from Conner. He also did play nicely for me with his LEGOs and kept showing me how he knows how to build with them now and knows how to take them apart too. The only real problem I had with him yesterday other than him waking up so early was getting him to wind down for bed. I tried for over 2 hours to get him to go down for bed and he wasn't being compliment. I ended up sending him into bed with my Mom and Ernie to go to bed. He did fall asleep for them after being restless and trying to make it play time instead of bed time. I fell asleep before he did last night and when Conner was sleeping good enough my Mom brought him into me. He slept good for me last night, but woke up at 6 something this morning screaming, crying, and throwing a huge fit. I wish I knew what he was dreaming about that's been upsetting him so much. That way I could calm him down, get him back to sleep, take away his nightmares, and make him the happiest, healthiest child I can. I definitely wish their was a magical wand to fix things for him whether it's the weather or a sinus infection or a cold or a nightmare or whatever. I just really want to make him as happy and healthy as I can.
