I have my kid back for the day.

My mom has an interview today out here so she and my dad came out yesterday with our son and they dropped him off here so we have time with him. I was so happy to see him and I saw how much he had changed in a month and how much he had developed. He plays with his toys more and I saw how he was playing with his dirt bike and he got more hair on his head. He is also officially weaned from my boobs. Being away from me for too long weaned him off. Now he won't take them. Also the sound of crying has changed and so has his voice. Oh yeah he has outgrown lot of his clothes I sent with him so my parents had to buy him some and he also outgrew all his shoes so now he wears size 7 and 8's now than 5 and 6's. They bought him a pair of sandals and that is the only pair he has. So several outfits I bought him back in May or April, he already outgrew them and they were size 18 months and they were a little big on him. Now he wears size 24 months or 2T and he still wears some 18 months stuff. Then on Tuesday he leaves and goes back with my parents.

I just remembered my apartment is no longer childproof because I packed away the childproof stuff and I took them all down but yet I still left up the cardboard taped over the TV buttons and the buttons on the cable box and I still have in some childproof socket covers in his bedroom and those childproof doorknob covers. So it still has some childproof but so far he has not gotten into things he isn't supposed to get into. Plus we don't have two baby gates anymore because my parents took one of them with when they got our son. I am snapping pictures of him as he is here. My mother in law will be coming out to see him before he goes back to Montana with my parents. I don't know if anyone else from my husband's family is coming to see him too. They have missed him so they want to come and see him.

I am hoping my mother will get a job out here soon. We're both already packing to move and we still haven't truly gotten the home yet and I wish my husband didn't tell me we got it because it turned out it was not true and there were other things going on and boy did it upset me. I'm not packing anymore right now because I have nothing else to pack and I think why pack everything if we are just moving across town? Plus I don't want my clothes to smell like old musty boxes so I would rather put them in trash bags when we move and just put other stuff in boxes as we move and just take the pictures frames without packing them away. My son is stating out of those boxes and he tried to get in one of them and I stopped him. I didn't bother taping them up because I might dig into them again for a movie or a book to read so I left the boxes untaped except for the ones in my son's bedroom. Plus I don't know anymore when we be out of here. But the closing date is the 27th for the house. We have not give our landlord a notice yet. Not until we know about the house and when we move there.

I'm glad you got a chance to see your son. I hope that you will be able to see more of him if your Mum gets a job nearer to you. Good luck with your house move also.

It's good that you got to spend time with your son.

I'm glad that you got to see him!

Why did your mother have your son for so long?

My husband and I couldn't take care of him anymore and I was shutting down and I go through one of those phases every now and then where I feel i can't handle life anymore so lot of things I can't handle anymore. I was just burned out and I felt this was my opportunity to have a break from being a parent so I can recharge myself and be back to normal. Then my husband got sick and it added more stress for me and that didn't help. But it was mostly about my husband so my parents came out and got him and I figured it was my chance to recharge myself and be back to normal. I was failing as a parent and they said if i really love him, I do what is best for him even if it wouldn't be easy. So I let them come and get him and my husband didn't care because he was in too much pain.
