Every single day, I worry about various, random and probably insignificant things. I can actually have a full on debate in my head about these things. I talk myself in a circle and end up no where. In my head, they seem perfectly rational. Are they? Does anyone else think about these things? Am I crazy?
Question #1: Is Max drinking enough milk? He is supposed to get 2-3 servings of milk a day, and I want to make sure he has healthy bones! Sometimes he doesn't drink that much in milk from his sippy....so I still let him (up until a week ago) have his nighttime bottle of milk because he could suck down a serving in no time and he wouldn't do that in a sippy cup. But then, is it worse to allow him to have a bottle because it was ruining his teeth and teaching him to rely on something before bed. AHHH!
Question #2: If he is crying because he wants me to pick him (going through that I want mommy all the time phase), should you let him tough it out or pick him up? If I pick him up, is that teaching him he will get what he wants? If I don't, will he think I don't care that he is sad or that I don't love him - or will he pop a blood vessel because let me tell ya, this child can sccaaaa REAM! AHHH!
Question #3: Some days, Max does not want what I make him for dinner. Again, I want to make sure he gets all his nutrition in every day. If he doesn't like what I eat, should I make him something else to ensure he gets a nutritious meal? Or, should I just say "that's what mommy is serving, if you don't like it you don't have to eat!" I always fear that if he goes to bed without dinner that he won't sleep throught he night - and that is just punishing me ;-) AHHH!
I could go on and on. These are truly the thoughts that go through my head....and this is also when I usually call my sister and ask her. I mean really....I need a peanut gallery to follow me around so I can ask for a vote everyday. ::deep sigh::
Anyone with me???
