Off to the Doctor and its Snowing too

I was hoping that the snow would wait until we were home from the Doctor, but it has arrived. I don’t think that we are going to get that much though… Now I’ve probably just jinxed myself and we are going to get a foot + 🙂

Thade is still not feeling well, and he is now taking his third nap for the day. We are heading out to the Doctor in about 45 minutes, so we’ll see how this goes. This is a check-up that I am a little nervous about, this one comes with shots. The last check-up with shots ended with me + 2 nurses to hold down a kicking and screaming Thade, it was not pretty.  My tummy is a little nervous today too… I’m planning on taking along his Blue Blanket and a favorite toy to help, and we are making a trip to Sonic for a Cherry-Chocolate Dr Pepper after the appointment. His favorite treat at the moment 😉

Wish me luck, and if you have any helpful advice to make the trip to the Doctor better, I could use it 🙂

Messy Morning (YUCKY Post)

Well this morning started off a bit too early for me. Dylan was up on the hour last night grumpy and hungry. Right at 7:00 a.m., Dylan was up crying and Thade was up crying too. Dylan was hungry, for Cheerios (his new favorite), and Thade said that he had a bad dream, he also felt awfully warm…

I got everybody changed, dressed, and downstairs, including the giant Elmo, and Thade’s new HeatBlast Ben 10 toy. Dylan was happily eating in the high chair, and Thade chilling out on our big new Easy-Chair (thanks Grandma), but Thade was still upset and complaining of a tummy ache. Uh oh! I went into the kitchen, and I heard Thade cough, and then I hear the footsteps running through the house. Thade got sick in the living room, the dining room, and then all over the kitchen. I hope his tummy feels better now.

I got him changed into a new outfit, and a new blanket for him to cuddle up with. I’ve got everything cleaned up, and I’m finally getting to that cup of coffee. I had a feeling that today was going to be one of those days 😉 We still have to go to the Doctor this afternoon, and I think that is why Thade is so upset. I hope that he feels better soon 🙂

Yahoo For Bento!

I’m so happy that I picked up the Bento kits, they have made a big difference at Dinner-time. Thade is a very picky eater, but he will give new foods a try if they are presented to him in the Bento. Last night he had Salmon Cakes, Salad with Croutons and Bacos, and Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, if he ate well.

 

He looked at the Salad, and asked what it was, that usually means he isn’t going to try it. He tried a bite, and actually liked it, in fact he ate about half of it 🙂 He also ate an entire Salmon Cake too! No complaints either, it was a Dinner-time Success!

 

If you have a picky eater like me, I highly recommend purchasing a Bento Kit, this one was definitely worth the price ($1.00 at the Dollar Tree). Last nights meal was one that Thade has had before, and it was also one that he has not wanted to eat before. This time when I presented the dinner in a different way, he happily finished a meal!

More Doctor’s Appointments

Yesterday it was Dylan’s turn for a check-up, and today I had an appointment scheduled for my hubby, he is still having trouble with a sinus infection. This morning Thade said that his ears hurt too, so I’ve got him scheduled for a check-up this afternoon. He also has his 4 year check-up next week, with shots. With all of the check-ups we seem to be living at the hospital this month 😉

I’m starting to feel the sinus pain as well, so today I’ve called my hubby to bring home lunch. I want to keep things nice and simple before we go to all of the appointments.

This afternoon I need to call all of the family, and explain why we are moving the party to next weekend. I hope that nobody is too upset about the last minute change in plans. It looks like it is going to be a long day today 😉
