Well there's one little lady that deserves an awful lot of credit for what she has gone through the last 3 months.(OK, no it's not me-no one can call me little.) It's Eva. They say kids are quite adaptable , but most of them do not have to try adapt not only to a new environment and a new care taker, but to do it all in a consrtuction atmosphere. There are electric saws going, air compressors going off, air guns & nailers, drills,hammering, pounding, nailing and yelling. It can be jolting & scary.
Remember we are basically living in 3 rooms, so Eva is limited in the area she has to play, eat & nap. We'll go for a walk thru the construction site if all is quiet, so we can see Mommy working. We have had to be creative on some days on finding areas where she can actually nap and hopefully sleep. The most creative has been the shower, it was the quietest area for a few days. The most enjoyable was on me on the deck in the rocker.We've moved the rocker to the bathroom vanity area, we've moved the crib to the bathroom vanity area, to the den; basically we'll do what we need to work around the construction workers so Eva gets a nap (and Auntie Martha gets a break). It's also a day to day learning . Eva turned 7 mos on the 24th, she had her first Arrowroot cookie at Auntie Martha's & we found this neat mesh feeder for fresh fruits & vegggies that's just great. She thought the slice of banana Uncle Tom gave her to try was great,she couldn't have any more though; Uncle Tom & Mommy ate them all.
