Learning Lessons the Hard Way

On Sunday Michael's mom had an Open House so their family friends could meet Greyson. It was very lovely and Greyson was great all day - letting people hold him without fussing at all. Then we headed home. He screamed - oh the screaming - all the way home. And continued for hours. He was grumpy all day Monday. His schedule was all out of whack and he was basically a hot mess. This is what happens when he is over-stimulated and misses his daytime naps, or has them cut short.

Today I headed out with Greyson to see my parents and their friends and co-workers. Once again he was fantastic for everyone, but once we got in the car to head home he was a disaster. I had to pull into a gas station at one point because he was screaming so much it was making him cough and go horse. All evening he has teetered between okay and complete meltdown. I know that tomorrow is going to be a recovery day and it won't be pretty.

You would think that I would have learned on Sunday...but I didn't. I have learned my lesson.
All-day out and about = One Hot Mess
