My poor little boy cried the whole drive home from L's. I'm pretty sure it was a tired/grumpy cry because he asked for bear and a nap as soon as we got home. Currently napping. It's hard when he's upset in the car, since I'm driving I'm very limited in what I can do. Poor little man. I do keep a selection of toys in the car for him but he just wasn't interested today.
I was at a rather busy cross road waiting to go when I was thinking that it's amazing my son doesn't distract me from driving. I'm not sure if that makes me horrible or now. I know ultimately it has to be a good thing, shows my attention is on the road but I worry about my son thinking I'm ignoring him. I do talk to him when we're in the car and try to calm him best I can. I guess it's just one of those things.
I have a doctors appointment at 3:30pm. I'm hoping little man is feeling better after his nap. Last time I was at the doctors they were running late and my boy just wasn't happy in the waiting room. He made sure everyone knew how frustrated he was by lying on the floor, kicking his legs and screaming as loud as he can. It must be hard when he doesn't understand why he's having to wait and why mummy can only manage to bring a few toys. S offered to watch him while I was at my appointment but that would mean a fifteen minute drive to take him there, fifteen minute drive back to the doctors, fifteen minute drive back to pick him up and then a fifteen minute drive back home. That's an hour of driving. Maybe it would be better for him to spend some time with S and his cousins rather than waiting with mummy at the doctors. I'll need to make a decision by 3pm so I'll see how he is then with regards to his nap.
I'm thinking after this appointment I won't have to see my GP as often. I'm sure with the initial PPD once I felt alright she was happy for me to plod on but made sure I was to contact her if I had any concerns or started feeling rubbish again.
Time for a hot drink while I can!
