Tonight Marie was awakened at 10:30pm by barfing up her dinner. She was quite scared and worried. Luckily, Mom had returned home (_I hate dealing with barf_) and we got her cleaned up, changed her bed, and got her to lay back down.
10 minutes later, the cry came down again. A repeat performance. Poor thing. I hope she feels better soon.
Tonight we went to “Centreville Day School”:http://centreville-umc.org/cds.html for the open house. Marie will be a student there in the 2006-2007 school year. We learned that there are 14 children and two adults in each class, and that children must be completely potty trained before coming to school. The clock is ticking, 8 more months Marie!!!
I mean, about the teeth. False teeth? Anyway, the other two that we thought had broken through yesterday are not broken through yet. He must have been just working on them pretty hard. They are definitely about to pop…stay tuned…
Marie discovered croutons the other day and we had them again tonight. She kept asking for more but she couldn’t get the word right and asked for froucons. She didn’t even seem to mind that we were laughing so hard at her!
Brian cut two more teeth today, we think. He does not want anyone poking around in there! I think the other front bottom tooth is out and one of his top front teeth. He has been suffering because of them. Last night he was up every couple hours and he’s been cranky and fussy when I try to put him down. Tylenol seems to help. Tonight he got tylenol and oragel and some extra rocking by Daddy and now he’s finally sleeping peacefully.
Brian has a tooth!
He’s been working on it for a couple days, but this morning I put my finger in there and I can feel it. It’s a sharp little thing. It’s the bottom one on his right.
Today, Marie got her own potty at the store. To this point, we’ve only had one of those inserts that sits on a normal toilet seat. Well, we brought it home, and all she wanted to do was to sit on it. All day. “_Sometimes, you have to wait_” she says. Well, good news–she used it, quite a few times! #1 and #2. She is *so* proud of herself, and we are proud too! Embarrassing photos will be posted soon 🙂
All has been going pretty well with both kiddies. Marie started Swim class a couple weeks ago at “the rec center”:http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/rec/wcrec.htm and we’re both having fun. Brian is starting to “talk” more, and is eating cheerios by the fistful. Everyone’s pretty much over their colds, and we’re settling in to a good routine.
Today, Brian was baptized at the 9:30 service at “our church”:http://www.centreville-umc.org. The service was really nice–the entire service focused on baptism and water. Unfortunately as concerned parents we were both a little preoccupied to capture the full message. Luckily we have the video. Anyway, Brian looked really cute in his white baptism suit!
The poor kiddies have had nasty colds all week. We kept them doped up on cough medicine and decongestants, but it kept going and going so Pete took them to the doctor on his birthday. They got some more medicine and they are finally feeling better. Marie still napped through lunch today, but she is coughing and whining a lot less. Brian was laughing when I was playing with him after dinner and I realized it had been a while – he must be feeling better too.
