Weekend in the Sick Zone

Well we stayed in all weekend. Jason and I stayed on the couch and watched TBS pretty much all day Saturday. Jason did leave long enough to sign Elliot up for soccer. He is going to be on the same team as his friend (neighbor) Xavior this year. I'm hoping we can share the driving for practices.

Owen suddenly started really talking this weekend. Jason and I have both been trying to work with him. Owen said "Eat" when Jason was trying to put him down for a nap because he was to busy playing and didn't eat any of his lunch. He said "Don't push down" when I pushed the lever down to drain the bathtub and he wanted to play more in the tub. His most exciting new word was "track" when he brought up a mega block train set from the basement. Elliot and I both said yes good job thats the track and Owen kept saying track over and over again with the biggest smile on his face.

Well gotta run, Eva is calling. Just when I thought we had the sleeping thing under control she got our cold and now is waking up a lot again.

He's One Smart Kid Alright

Elliot got his report card today, straight A's again! He got all 3's (the highest marks) in everything this time including handwriting. He is happy he gets to go to the sundae bar again, something they do for all the kids who get on the honor and merit roll. He got another certificate for perfect homework which means he turned everything in on time.

Owen has been doing well. The medicine is beginning to take its toll on his stomach though. He had 3 poopy diapers today and the last two were quite watery. I've got the desitin ready so hopefully he doesn't end up with a bad rash.

Eva is finally starting to sleep! She wakes up around 1 and 5 am to nurse. I know most people think that is to much but that is a huge improvement to how she was sleeping before. She is also sleeping all night in her crib. After her 1 am wake up I pull the crib next to the bed so I don't have to totally get out of bed but she goes right back in after she nurses. So nice to be able to move around in bed and not have to worry about her waking up.

Jason and I are both sick. Hoping this weekend we can just take it easy and recoup!

Another Fun Week

Well the sick bug decided to hang around. Monday was a trip to the doctor for Owen. His eyes were all goopey and he was waking up with dried crusties on his eye lashes. I was afraid Elliot's pinkeye had spread. Turns out the eye problems were just an eye infection due to his sinus infection/cold. He also had an ear infection, poor little guy.

Elliot had a fun birthday party last Saturday. Five of his friends came and seemed to have a good time. His cake turned out but I forgot to take a picture of it.

More updates tomorrow...

Welcome to My Blog

Hello!

I finally decided to start journaling about my adventures in raising three kids. This week has been pretty rough. I developed a migraine last Friday that is finally today (Thursday) mostly gone. Sunday night Elliot decided the best way to stop a runny nose was to shove toilet paper up his nose, which got stuck. Jason has to take him to the ER so it could be extracted. I'm watching Owen closely because I had to start him on breathing treatments this week (just before bed) and he is starting again with a runny nose. I got a phone call from the school nurse yesterday to come pick up Elliot because he had been rubbing his eye all day and it was red. He got to miss school today for pink eye. I'm hoping I don't have 3 with pink eye by the end of the weekend! Eva has been good, we are still working on that whole sleeping thing.

We have Elliot's birthday party on Saturday. It is going to be a bowling party this year, should be a lot of fun for him. He wants me to make a cake for the party instead of buying one so hopefully that will work out.
