baby asleep (after hooting about his cot for 45 minutes), but due to wake up.
After having A, I am more than happy for my next baby to be a boy. But I've been buying girl stuff. just in case. it's all so cute and every now and then I buy a tiny little dress that I just don't want to give away. so I put it with the "too small" stuff and there it will sit until we know what happens next.
yesterday, while I was feeding him dinner, he spat something out, or turned his head, or some such small act of defiance. and I felt a kind of anger I don't recognise. not overwhelming, by any means, but a "if you're going to be like that I won't be your nice mummy" anger. weird. parenting is very complex.
we're off home for three weeks on Monday. yahoooo! just received an invitation to go on a cruise all day Sunday. this is impractical, given that we're going out Saturday night and I have to pack. but we're going. cruises are one of the few really good things about life on this metropolitan tropical island.
he's awake.
