Oh Shit!

We were arguing with Aid tonight about getting into the bath. He missed his nap due to an ill timed Dr.'s appointment and he was in terror mode. Hitting, yelling, screaming....the whole nine yards.

So I was pleasantly surprised when I heard him get in. (I was nursing Grant and could hear but not see.) Bob came up and I asked him if he had changed Aid's diaper since it was poopy. Bob raised his eyebrows and said no. There was a second of silence and then it happened.

Aid got out of the bathtub. And sure enough. The diaper was on....well, kind of. It was falling down his leg. And the poop...the poop was dripping down his legs. And onto the rug. We both yelled, "STOP!" But then it was so funny that we were dying of laughter. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Which made Aiden think it was fun so he then began to scream manically and run from room to room. Which made it not so funny anymore since there were now poopy footprints throughout the upstairs.

It's all cleaned up. Aid got a second bath which he was absolutely NOT happy about. We had a good chuckle. And our bathroom got a good scrub down.

What a shitty evening!!

Life Is Beautiful

But He Did Do This.....

He almost rolled over!!!!!

He's growing up so fast...


He sees the toy and goes for it....





Pretty big stuff little man....

Ready for Food?

After finding this I was SURE that Grant was ready to move on to solid food...right??! I even showed people this, amazed at Grant's zealousness.....

'

Then Bob told me....this fell on the floor and Chloe (our dog) chewed it up. Not a super hungry 5 month old!

Exhausted, but Happy....

It's been a tiring couple of weeks. First we over scheduled ourselves and wore ourselves out. Now Aid is sick and Grant is not being cooperative. We are all dead on our feet. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and scared myself.

But then I just went to check on Aid and Grant and they both look so peaceful and content and I remember why I still feel so happy....

Pneumonia?!

Seriously?

Aid has had a raspy voice and a fever that comes and goes for about 3 days. But when he walked in this morning something felt different. We had a play date scheduled at our house that had to be canceled....and off we went to the doctor's. I did not think they would say Pneumonia. I don't know what I thought they would say, but I didn't anticipate that. I kind of thought they would just tell me he had a virus and I was being a panicky mom. Nope.

It's so pathetic how sick he is. Earlier he had almost no energy. When he wanted to go upstairs he crawled up the stairs only to pass out once he got to the top. Thankfully Grant caught up on his sleep so that I was able to really take care of Aid....turned out he didn't really need that much taking care of. He needed his antibiotic. Then we had some ice cream. Then we took turns watching our shows on the tv. He didn't even care when it was my turn to watch a soap. He just took a little snooze and I watched on...

Come to think of it, this whole pneumonia thing might not be such a bad thing after all!

(Kidding.)

Zoo Day

We went to the Minnesota Zoo with passes and had a blast. It was a long, tiring day....but a much needed family fun day!


So excited!'


The best way to look at the animals!


I think I may like to come back in this life as a Prairie Dog. Or an otter. Both look like they are living the good life.


There were some funny animals today...


This camel is not dead. We did see it move....eventually....


Oh I feel her pain...


Grant was extremely cooperative today so we all breathed a little easier....


Feeding the goats....always a hit with Aid.


I just love this picture.


A happy little boy...
