Not a whole lot of exciting news this past week. Maverick came down with a cold and woke up with pink eye Saturday morning. We got into the pediatrician who diagnosed him with an ear infection (thus the pink eye) and swiftly prescribed Augmentin and eye drops - two nasty enemies of the Wallis' kids.
However, Phoebe behaved stellarly and Mommy needed caffeine so we headed to Starbucks after our appointment.
Poor Maverick just wasn't in the mood.
However, give the kid 24 hours on antibiotics and he was good as new!
Monday was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and day care was closed in observance of the holiday. We woke up to blustery temperatures and so much snow blowing we couldn't see the houses behind us. Phoebe is VERY anxious to wear her snow pants and was thrilled to see snow. Unfortunately there was very little accumulation - just frigid single-digit temperatures.
That meant we stayed inside. Actually, Phoebe and I got some great cuddle time watching a Madeline cartoon we'd picked up at the library. Maverick slept till 10:54 a.m. - I can't tell you the number of times I went upstairs to make sure he was still breathing. I think both kids like to sleep like their daddy! I also got a lot of the basement organized while the kids played. They tried on old Halloween costumes.
It fit him better than her but neither wanted it on for very long.
They were too busy playing to be bothered with costumes.
Praise the Lord for once again happy, healthy children!
The remaining problem we're having is the booty issues caused by Maverick's antibiotic. His little bum is so raw - yesterday he was shuffling around like a little old man, whimpering. We even set up a cardboard box so he wouldn't have to sit while he ate dinner. 12 hours of sleep covered in butt paste made him a whole new man this morning!
