Update on Master P

Since my last post Phinneus has had good days.... & bad ones. But I guess that's to be expected!! Yesterday was "my first tropical storm" day, as the remnants of TS Hana blew through Jersey. The humidity level was somewhere between Florida & a steam bath for most of the day. The deluge began in the mid afternoon, and lasted until 9pm'ish. Master P was intrigued by the rain. I sat with him in the front window (praying we wouldn't push the window out, as you never know how well anything was constructed 'round these parts) & we watched the rain. He sat up with a high level of awareness & stared out at the armada of rain drops, shaking leaves & rippling puddles. I imagine it was like an "Alice in Wonderland" moment for him. Hell, he's only been around for a few months & that was the most water he's ever seen falling from the sky. Certainly more than what falls from our kitchen faucet where we bathe him!!!!!

Our greatest ally in the past few weeks has been our shop vac. It seems to be the most comforting thing on the planet! If the baby is fighting sleep, go downstairs & fire up the shopvac, rock him for a few minutes & he's out. The sound automatically sooths him. Sometimes he wakes right up when you turn the vacum off! Oh well!! I bet if this kid went on a boat ride he'd be knocked out! 'Till you docked!!

So this week starts the process of finding a day care place..... I wish I could hit the lotto so we didn't have to send him..... St. Amy is coming out this week to go with Maggie & visit some of these places. I unfortunately have to work, & won't be able to go.... I hope they find a good one! Well, I gotta go, the sound of the vacuum is blaring & I'm going to run the gauntlet & turn it off! Tawk to yous later!

PEACE!
