400th Post/ Ear Infection/ Conversation with kids

Well this is my 400th post! Pretty crazy. Too bad I am not that kind of blogger that gives away prizes because now that would just be even cooler! Here is to 400 more posts!

************************************************************************************

Our boys have bad ears. It is just the way they were born and they just can't help it. K has had a runny nose/congestion since last weekend, and then yesterday he developed a fever. He did not sleep well last night, so I took him to an urgent care at 7 this morning. They confirmed that he has another ear infection, which makes it 3 for him and he is only 7 1/2 months! D had close to 12 before he was 2 1/2, and we put tubes in his ears. It seems that we may be following that same path here.

Since they get ear infections so often, the nurse prescribed a higher antibiotic and it seems that it just does not sit well with K's stomach because he threw it all up; all over me. Those who know me know that I do NOT do well with throw up, and so far I have managed to not have either kid throw up on me. My poor husband has had that pleasure a few times unfortunately. But my luck ran out and I was the lucky one today. In the moment it didn't bother me because it happened so fast and I just felt really bad that he was not feeling well, but now I am on puke alert and anytime I see him make a face that slightly resembles a throw up face my heart races. I am so lame, but this is a real struggle for me! Lets just hope that it was the medicine that didn't agree with him and that a stomach bug did not hit our house. I feel bad too because we were at a friend's house for a Halloween party when he threw up, so I hope we didn't infect them either! Oh joy!

**********************************************************************************

We had our ward trunk or treat last night, and D hit the jack pot with candy. We have been trying to limit him on how much he eats, since he would be happy to just sit down and eat the whole bag in one sitting. At one point he came up to me with his hands behind his back and this is the conversation that followed:

D: "Mommy, I have something in my hands!"
Me: "Oh yea, what do you have?"
D: "I can't tell you!" (He has a huge smile on his face at this point because he knows he is being really sneaky:)
Me: "Is it candy?"
D: "Yea!!" (I think he forgot that he wasn't suppose to tell me:)

Kids do and say the darndest things...

I don't want to forget all the cute things that my children have said or will say, so check back often to see what the Nelson family has to say!

Kayden: Do I still have my eyeballs or are they still at Grandma and Grandpa's house?

Me: I never knew they were there...

I was tired this afternoon, and I needed to nurse Kayden. I felt too tired to go pick up Kayden from where he was, so jokingly I asked Deagan if he would go change Kayden's diaper, nurse him, and then put him down for a nap.

He took it seriously, and said, "I have little boobies mommy! But do I have milk?"

Me: "No you don't have milk. I was just kidding."

Deagan: "But do I have water in my boobies?"

Needless to say, he did not follow through with what I said:)

*We went to Olive Garden for dinner tonight, and after the waitress brought us our breadsticks my son yelled after her, "Thank you lady!"

*My oldest loves to bring toys with him to bed. Tonight he had a couple of toy dinosaurs that he got for Christmas. The rule we have of bringing toys in bed is that the toys can't play, they have to sleep too. Tonight, he was having a hard time just letting his toys sleep, so I kept asking him to stop playing with the dinosaurs so he could go to sleep. He was getting really frustrated at me because of this and towards the end he started saying, "I am very mad at you!" It was so hard for me not to laugh at that.

He has done this for a while now, but whenever we are in the car he will ask, "Where are we going?" in a annoyed kind of voice. Later on he will ask really sadly, "Where did my house go?"

My oldest woke up really early this morning, and was whiny and impossible to please. At this point, I am dreading the day ahead and it is only 7 a.m. My oldest was sitting on his play table coloring and playing with his paint box (that was empty). He dropped the paint box, and began whining for me to pick it up. The conversation went something like this:

D: "Pick it up Mommy!"

Me: "It is right by you, you pick it up."

**Pause from Deagan**

D: "Michelle! Pick it up!"

I couldn't help but smile when he called me Michelle. Maybe this day will be better then I am expecting.

I think that wanting your privacy while going potty is a natural instinct that we are all born with and that develops over time. D is beginning to show signs that this privacy is a very important time when going to the bathroom. This afternoon I was making dinner and came in to the living room to check on him. As I walked into the room, he held out his hand and yelled, "No Mom! Go back!" I can always tell when he is done by him allowing me to stay in the same room with him.

D wants me to always watch what he is doing regardless of what it is. His new favorite thing to say is, "WATCH MOM!" over and over.

I was taking a bath, and locked D in the bathroom with me while I did so so I could keep an eye on him. During this process, D was very interested in his old nursing buddies (if you get my drift) and kept saying "Yummy!" "Yummy?" I asked him. "What did it taste like?" "HOT DOGS!" He replied!

D is a big help around the house. He puts things away when I ask him to, sometimes. He helps me fold the laundry, by that I mean he lays in the laundry. He is just a great help. One of his new things is to throw away his diapers after I am done changing him. After a diaper change this afternoon, he proceeded to pick up the diaper and head to the trash. His normal trash that he uses was out of reach, so I told him to go into the bathroom right off of the kitchen and to put the diaper in the trash right next to the toilet. I think all he heard from that was, "Put it in the....toilet." because that is where he put it. Like I said, very helpful! :)
