I’ve had a rough couple of nights this past week… very little sleep, plus a 19 month old who STILL won’t give up nighttime nursing (arrgh!), has made waking up in the morning a less-than-pleasant experience.

There’s my sweet little guy (Thomas, on the right) on his way out the door to go to his doctor’s appointment. He knows he’s getting shots today.
