Whew… it’s been a week!
For the most part, the boys have been waking up and getting off to
school without issue. But, by the time
they get home, it’s meltdown city. Last
night, W cried because Charlie was in the room, because he missed his baby teeth
and they were gone forever, because he didn’t pay attention to the book I was
reading and missed the story (since he was crying), and the list goes on. By the time bed time rolls around, the boys
are overtired and losing their minds.
On top of the crankiness, A and I both had really busy
weeks. A had Open House at his school on
Monday night. I had a work dinner
Tuesday followed by a School Board Meeting on Wednesday night. Suffices to say, we’re all looking forward to
a long weekend.
I’ve mentioned it before, but S lately is either as sweet as
can be or wreaking havoc. Either way, he
keeps me laughing. Lately, he’s been telling
us he’s “frizzering” – a combination of freezing and shivering (clever!). The other night I was tucking him in and gave
him a hug and a kiss. He told me I give way
better hugs than W. The other day, A was
explaining the premise of the Wizard of Oz – which the boys have never seen or
even heard of. A explained that a
tornado lifts up the house. S responded,
“Well, good Lord!” (in what I swear was a southern accent). Haha!
I forgot to mention that A had CF clinic a couple weeks
ago. We were disappointed to learn that
his FEV1 % dropped. It wasn’t a
significant drop, but after the hospital admission and IV antibiotics, we were both
really hoping for better results. After A’s
last admission, his lung function improved by 10% so to see a drop this time
around was really really disappointing. Hoping
cooler weather and a bit more time will help his FEV1 results move upwards. He returns to CF clinic in a month – think positive
thoughts for us!
We don’t have too much planned for the weekend, but we will definitely
continue to work on potty training Charlie and preventing him from chewing all
the things. Aside from these two challenges,
he been great and I really enjoy having him in our family. 😊
