..187..

Yesterday we returned from our third trip in 7 weeks and I spent most of the day cleaning and trying to figure out what Charlie wanted. Charlie was SUPER grumpy today and I think he was mostly frustrated not being able to express himself. Needless to say we were both at the end of our rope today. Patience was not one of my virtues. I need to do a better job of slowing down to talk with Charlie to help him learn his words. It's usually not as hard to do as it was today. The hardest time of day is when I'm trying to make dinner. Charlie is constantly underneath me pushing me away from the counter. I wish we didn't have to eat and I didn't have to cook, but I do and it's frustrating for us both. Hopefully tomorrow brings a happier Charlie and more patient me.
