how do you do this???
if max is awake, he wants to grab the books (which ada does not like). giving him another book to play or toys satisfies him for 30 second, and even with it, i cannot focus on reading to ada, as i need to constantly toss new toys to max. and he cries in frustration because he cannot have the book that we are reading. it is torture to me.
when i try to read to her when he is asleep, she is so anxious, she gets frustrated that she cannot lie down or sit down exactly how she wants, because max is either in the sling or next to me in bed, or nursing. then the whole thing turns into a fit, because she wants to nurse too. so i would think this would be enjoyable, and it is not.
another problem is that to be honest, i would like a touch of 'me time' when max is asleep, so i tend to gravitate towards the computer. i am trying not to do it, but hey, i am only human. i need a break from time to time.
playing is hard too, as max wants to get into everything.
how do you handle this?
