Bryce 2 Years 11 Months




This past month has been tough on us all. Pawka had brain surgery almost two weeks ago to remove a tumor. All of the stress and not having a normal routine has definitely affected Bryce. He has had two night terrors, one while napping and the other just a short while after falling asleep for the night. The night time one was the worst. He screamed/cried for almost 30 minutes. After about 20 minutes I got him to calm down enough to take a few sips of water. He proceeded to choke on the water, which made him throw-up in his bed. A little while latter I was holding him, with him facing me on the couch. He was practically hyperventillating. Between that and the crying, he worked himself up so much again that he threw up all over himself and all over me. It was awful. I felt so bad for him. After getting himself and me up to the shower, he finally was able to calm down. In addition to the terrors, he has been laying in bed awake until 10 or 10:30 and still getting up at normal time. He has tried to make up for the loss of sleep by taking marathon naps a few times, but it isn't the same. I just feel so bad that he can't express his feelings and that it is affecting him so much.

Aside from his sleeping issues Bryce has been doing great. I can't believe he will be turning 3 in just a month. Time goes so quickly.

With Faith crawling, Bryce is now getting used to having to share more of his toys. He is also learning which toys he has to share with Faith and which toys he can't let her have because they are a choking hazzard. Most of the time he is really good, however he hates it when she drools on his toys.

He is still very much into Cars. He is limited to watching half of the movie a day. He know this and now asks to ,"watch haalf my Cars moomie." While he watches Cars he lines up all of the Cars characters so that he can match them to his movie.

He has been more adventurous in his eating lately. He has been a little more willing to try different things again, although he is hoked on quesadillas right now. He ate a tuna sandwich the other day and willingly ate the rice and beans served with his quesadilla the other night when we were out to dinner. Veggies are still an issue, but he is getting better about eating meat.
