so what if it's almost a year late. life is busy.
(during toby's hospital stay)
August 5, 8:33pm Needs a sign on the door-BEWARE, nursing me-gook inside. Except in Korean. Sorry, little Korean kid who had the wrong room!
August 6, 3:46am Oh look. It's 3:45 AM & everyone is awake! Any suggestions on how to keep two 4 month olds quiet so as to avoid another visit from staring adjeema? Ugh
August 6, 9:29pm Dear hospital-you only have to put up with us for (hopefully) 2 more nights. You've already completely destroyed my babies' abilities to sleep for more than 13.7 minutes at a time. Can we please just leave it at that? K thanks.
August 7, 7:50pm Preliminary viewing of CT scan looks good. Definitive answer in the morning when neurology professor looks at it. Hoping to be out of here around lunchtime!
August 8, 1:06pm We are home! Hooray!
August 11, 10:23am making word family eggs with auri (
Terra!) Tyler wants to know how come i never made her any when she was little. sorry, kid, you were born in the stone age when there was no such thing as facebook or pinterest!
August 13, 12:03am happy birthday to Tyler Alyssa! 15 years ago today, you were the one who made me a mama! love you
August 14, 12:03am Happy 16th birthday to the one who made me a mommy of two the easy way-with no labor pains! Love you,
Alex Collette!
August 16, 11:03am auri was getting ready to go to an activity with the neighbors. i asked her what she wanted done with her hair. she informed me that she wanted a "spanish braid" (french braid but with one older sibling taking spanish & the other taking french, can you blame her for getting mixed up?). love her!
August 19, 12:08pm so it was a good morning. there was actually sleeping in my house last night, cinnamon rolls for breakfast, babies were happy, little dingbat wiener didn't make a mess, impromptu science lesson involving a butterfly...and then i caught the 4-year-old making dog food soup in the bathroom sink. every day is a new adventure!
August 21, 2:12pm I'm having "one of those days" that started at 7 this morning. it is now after 2. how long are these things supposed to last? also, does anyone have any earplugs? this day is involving lots of crying. i think i'm next.
August 21, 10:32pm tomorrow is "torture toby" day...aka (hopefully) final follow-up CT scan. say a prayer that we all make it through intact and with a good report.
August 22, 3:10pm hooray hooray! it was NOT "torture toby" day! dr. decided he didn't need another CT scan based on how he is behaving. they said to call them if we need them. Lord willing, we WON'T! PTL for a healthy little guy! :)
August 25, 5:14pm oh crap. tris is scooting 6 inches at a time to go after toys. anybody got a cage? for me, i mean.
August 27, 3:27pm oh, yeah, trista's mobile. video to come later once
Larry Collette makes it. greeeeeaaaat. anyone find me a cage yet?
August 29, 7:39am big kid school starts today. how is it that i have two 10th graders?
August 30, 5:49pm toby's mission today seems to be to catch up to trista in the mobility department. why is it every time
Larry leaves, a baby gains mobility? someone is conspiring to make me crazy!
August 31, 12:27am everyone in the house is sleeping. except me & squishy. i thought being mobile was supposed to help babies sleep better? apparently she didn't get the memo. she's wide awake on the floor trying to eat my toe. :-/
