The start of the month featured a run of the mill cold that hung on for about two weeks. I finally gave in and took them into the Dr. because Teagan had a nasty cough. Turns out it was just a bad cough and Wyatt had a horrible ear infection. We had no idea! So onto antibiotics for him….then when they are finally doing better about 5 days into it they caught another little cold somewhere. Well Saturday night I ended up in the local E.R. again because Wyatt had a temp of 102 and was complaining his ear hurt – so I knew I had to get him an antibiotic prescription and get him something for his ear. Ugh! He has been running a temp of 102 or 103 (with Tylenol!) for a few days now. Of course it can’t just go away and be simple can it???? Oh no… and then….he started throwing up yesterday morning!
So off to the Dr. office we go…
Once we arrived at the Dr. office we took the elevator up to the second floor and I think that was a little much for Wyatt because he threw up in the elevator and on Mommy. When the doors opened I stepped out and he threw up again all over the floor just outside the elevator. It was pretty gross…and I feel horrible for the maintenance person at that building!
I guess this is what happens when they are exposed to other little kids now that they are in playschool and playgroups. Geez, I can’t wait for them to start preschool. That is twice a week – does that mean they will be twice as sick?
One shining weekend though was my birthday weekend. My mother-in-law watched the kids for the weekend so we could go to Lake Tahoe and enjoy ourselves with days of snowboarding and massages. Nights of long dinners with white linen tablecloths and bottles of wine. It was heaven.
We also enjoyed the wonderful spring like weather for the first few weeks. Some days it was really warm and I could just feel spring in the air. It was so nice being able to put the kids outside and enjoy spring without bundles and layers of clothes.
Oh summer: where for art thou?!
And my little girl Teagan May is proving to be just that: a girl. She has discovered the art of changing. So therefore: she must change. She changes out of her P.J.’s in the morning and into an outfit. Whenever anything goes wrong with said outfit (e.g. she gets a drop of paint, or food, or water) she must change into a “new outfit Mommy”. Then she changes her mind and wants her P.J.s again. I kid you not; the girl changes outfits at least 3-4 times a day. It was cute in the beginning, now; I am just annoyed that she has learned to dress herself. I am hoping this is just a phase that will fade out when the novelty of it wears off.
Wyatt loves his sports! T-ball - soccer - basketball - he is all about it. All boy this one.
