March 21 - making and tending



This week I spent a little time making some felt play food for you know who.  I think next will be more tea bags and some cookies to go along with them.  I know I like cookies with my tea.

I also spent a lot of time holding and rocking and soothing.  And being the unpopular person on the business end of the bulb syringe from time to time.  She is still a bit under the weather and her nose is still quite useless, but we are getting closer to wellness.  She fell asleep over my shoulder two nights in a row and last night fell asleep in my lap on the couch while simultaneously trying to nurse (rather unsuccessfully with that stuffy nose) and kicking the back of the couch.

And still, I can count the number of times she has fallen asleep without nursing (not counting in the car seat and while being worn in the carrier) on one hand.  But maybe we're getting somewhere.  Maybe this will convince her that there really are other ways to fall asleep.

    1. thanks, Grace~ they were so fun to make. If I can get it together (ha!) I may try to make several sets to bring to the market. (I'll be there off and on this summer)

    1. thank you, Amanda~ she is pretty much there, I think. Now we are in that stuffy-toddler-because-she-can't-blow-her-nose phase. (which looks like it could be a long one, but that's alright)

  3. My little boy, not yet two, has just emerged from 2 weeks with a stuffy, runny nose. You have my sympathies - our rope got very long! Your play food looks fantastic - is it difficult to make?

    1. thanks! And no, it wasn't difficult at all~ I just traced the shapes I wanted out of felt, cut them out, stitched them together (stuffing the ones that needed to be stuffed) and voila! felt food. the tea bags are my favorite and I'm planning to make several more soon. have fun with it!
