On Saturday we went to the Lenexa Parade, which we hadn't been to in 5 years since we took our old dog, Desi, and she pooped all over the place. After that we went to Matt's parents house for a cookout. Directly from there we went to Matt's friends Terry's house for a pool party. The boys really are troopers for letting us tote them around everywhere and sleeping on the fly in there pack and plays and eating their big boy food on our laps.
Sunday we went to a pool party/cook out at my Aunt Marlene and Uncle Randy's. Aunt Jamie was there so the boys got some QT with her.
Here is Sam checking out Aunt Jamie:
Sam: "Hey! I remember you!!!"
Ben: "What about me?!"
After we left that party we went to Matt's sister's house for another BBQ/pool party. Ben had gotten up at 2am that morning very cranky and wouldn't go back to bed. As the day progressed he started to get a temp and was pretty lethargic. Aunt Tracy is a doctor so we had her look in his ear...sure enough he has another ear infection!! I am SO sad :( It's his 3rd in less than a month :( :( (double sad face!). I feel so bad for my little guy.
The ear infection did not hold him down because both boys had a great time swimming in the pool and when Sam went to sleep Ben stayed awake and ate ice cream for the first time:
"Not to shabby!"
And he got to watch fireworks! You could see the display perfectly from Tracy and Bryan's house!
We thought he would be scared of the loud noise but he loved the bright lights. And, after Dr. Aunt Tracy gave him Motrin he was as happy as could be:
Now, Aunt Lauren before you say I'm favoring Ben with the pics remember...Sam was a good boy and asleep at 9:30pm at night when these pics were all taken!
Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th!
Thanks for your reassuring comment on my blog. And, congratulations on your beautiful boys!
ReplyDeletegreat pics! it is likely the abx is not strong enough. Did they move it up to a different kind after it came back the 2nd time? you def need something stronger to clear it up completely. if there is any left, it will return (same reason they have take the full dose of abx even if you feel better). Hope you get it worked out, I know it is tough to have them go through this-on both of you! And remember, broad spectrum abx can really hurt the tummy so probiotics should be snuck in the bottle or baby food to balance it out. Call me with questions. p.s. we totally missed the parade, but maybe next year we can meet you there?!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad to hear about Ben's 3rd ear infection!! It sounds like he was quite a trooper though! And I have to comment on your last trip to the lenexa parade, uh, Desi pooping everywhere? Imagine that! :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Glad that it was a good time.
