4 1/2 hours of meetings today

Whee...

*blub*

Jet's asleep now, even, which is kind of nice. He's gotten pretty expert at falling asleep in my arms while I'm meeting, which I kind of wish I could do. I'm pretty impressed with that, especially with all the voices that go on about stuff in strident tones. John got to work for the whole meeting set, and I have Jet's play pen around my chair. I really should take a picture of the setup. It's pretty funny.

Jet had a bad night. I also had to pull enormous amounts of snot out of his poor, tiny nose. Poor kid. He's happier with it clear and I actually think it's why he's asleep now, it just got him comfortable enough to nap after a really busy day and a rather restless night.

Also kind of cool is the fact that the Toys for Tots party at work is tomorrow, so I'll be able to take the extra time I'm working today off tomorrow and actually go to the party with a totally clear conscience. Yay!

Developmental Note

So, as predicted by others, Jet's climbing me, the furniture, the refrigerator, cabinet doors, bookshelves, the walls of his portable play fencing and anything else he can get his hands on, and he's pulling himself up to standing on all of them and wobbling around and yelling when he can't figure out how to get down. He is actually getting down from the standing position with some care, when he can get coordinated, so I'm very pleased by that. He isn't just letting go and hitting with his butt anymore, which used to be pretty exciting, especially on a wood floor.

He's also getting more cavalier about his hand holds when he does pull himself up, now waving the 'other arm' around when he has one good grip. The other day he even transferred both hands to an exercise ball and used it for balance, which was really great for him to learn more about his balance. That was pretty fun to see.
