Only if you help tidy up.

This has been my MO for the last 6 months. If all I can do is wash 3 dishes before Theo decides it's time to do something else, that's what I do. At least I washed something.

This is one of those things that is true and yet not true at the same time. Most days, if I am in the room, Theo wants me and makes a fuss. If I want to really hand him off, it can require sequestering myself. I've been making dinner as much as I can but often it's impossible, as he won't put up with GD as long as he knows I'm nearby. I'm not one to shut myself in a room alone and read a book, but I guess I'd have to if I really wanted alone time.

However, as I type this, GD is playing with Theo and he's just fine. In fact, Theo let me get a lot done today. He's eating more and sleeping more - signs of a growth spurt - and it makes him a lot happier and able to play while I do chores with him around.

Heehee. I know I'm way behind on that, too. His birthday is coming up so there will definitely be an update then.
