The biggest high - Teague has decided that being potty trained is pretty cool! He goes potty "on demand" meaning I will tell him to sit on the potty before we leave for somewhere and he will say "want to watch me, mommy?" and will actually pee. He has kept his diaper dry for a few days now and is SO proud of himself (he won't wear underwear or pull ups - must be a "security" thing for him to remain in a diaper? Regardless we will just follow his lead). I seriously can't believe it. We tried on and off for a number of months now and everyone told us that he would start whenever he was ready and not to push it - and I guess everyone was right. I was convinced he was going to Kindergarten in diapers! I am SOOOOOOOO proud of him. He reminds me daily now that he is a "big boy". While I am enjoying the idea of only one in diapers - I just can't believe how fast he is growing up before my very eyes!!
Lola. Oh, poor baby Lola. She is battling her first major illness. She has a "double, very inflamed, pus ear infection". She is miserable. On top of that I took her in again this evening because she was having some retractions with her breathing. The initial O2 monitor read her O2 sats at 79% (OMG!) and then once they found a pediatric one it was reading it in the low 90's. Whew. So they think she also has a mild case of RSV - we just need to "watch" her and then bring her in if her breathing gets worse. So she is on an antibiotic and some "numbing" ear drops - which must be magical for the cost of them, oye. Whatever works to make my little baby smile again!
And Teague monster. Has anyone ever heard of a 2 1/2 year old needing "Cry it Out"?! I mean seriously, he has been sleeping through the night for nearly 2 years now and going to bed without issue and now all of the sudden the kid refuses to fall asleep at night. He knows he cannot get out of his bed without asking mommy or daddy but he literally sits on the side of his bed for HOURS crying and whining about "I don't want to be in here", "I don't like this", "Mommy? Daddy? Mommy? Daddy? I don't like being in here!", until he finally falls asleep. Seriously?! What is going on???? I am going crazy. So I purposely go in at 6:45 a.m. to wake him up (which IRRITATES him) and don't let him nap more than 2 hours during the day now and it still doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I just keep hoping that this is one of many "one week phases" as I like to refer to all the changes that occur in kids' lives.
I am good if anyone wanted to know. Ryan is even better since they won their first playoff game tonight! Have a good weekend.
Lola's chubby hands - she gets toys like this and her paci stuck on her fat thumb all of the time!
My two little stinkers....Lola with snot and drool all over her face and front of her jam jams.
