Happenings in our House

Mar-03 » Filed Under: Sweet News » Posted by: Todd

Hopefully Julie will flesh this out a bit, but here's a brief update on what's been happening with us.

We took Anna in for her 1-year doctor visit almost two weeks ago. She's generally healthy, but she couldn't get any of her vaccinations b/c she had another ear infection. She's had fluid in her ear that hasn't drained since December and every time she gets sick her ears get infected. We've tried no-dairy and chiropractic care, neither of which helped. After a visit with the EN&T doctor we scheduled an appointment this Wednesday for her to get ear tubes. We're hopeful this will keep her healthier and help her hear (and thus speak) better.

Cooper's big news is that he is in "big boy" underwear full-time now. He has been using the potty since he was about two, but hasn't "committed" until recently. We didn't push the issue, although we did institute a rather generous reward system in the last month or so. Next step is a "big boy" bed. He's also moving up to an older class at school next week.

A Little Gym opened near us recently and we've enrolled both kids in classes there. We're all very excited. Based on the packed classes it's obvious this community has needed something like this.

Finally, Cooper now insists that we all call each other names from The Incredibles. He's Dash, I'm Mr. Incredible, Julie is Elastagirl, Anna is Jack-Jack and Grandma C is Violet. A typical bedtime conversation might be, "goodnight Dash. I love you," followed by, "I love you too, Mr. Incredible." Do we let them watch too much tv? Probably.

I definitely thought Champaign needed something like Little Gym. We go to Gymboree here in NC and we love it. Have fun!

Ha, ha! Too funny. I wish I had a cool name like that. Jameson won't even say Mama!

We go to Gymboree and he LOVES it! Glad you found something near you!

Hope the tubes help! Poor girl. Guess you will have to have another baby to round out the Incredibles names. :)

I couldn't have said it better. It's been a busy (& fun) couple of months. We are ready for spring!
