Slight Repreive

It turns out that Dougie is doing the barking cough because of the MASSIVE amount of snot draining down his throat.  Yes, that would be sinus infection number two for him.  Magnus has ear infection number three.  The plus side is that neither is contagious.  That means Christmas is back on.  Which, darnit, means I have to go grocery shopping and get our ham and other fun stuff.

After the dr made the boys’ diagnosis, she asked me if I have time to eat.  I sortof shrugged.  She told me that I need to take time for myself or I wouldn’t be doing my children any good.  Apparently I look like total crap today.  hehe

I can now tell when Dougie has a poopy diaper from another room.  No, unlike Becca’s at that age, it isn’t audible.  Dougie fills his diaper and then starts talking in a cute soft little voice.  ‘a dhah    a dhah’  I think it is a defense mechanism.  This way, you spend the diaper change thinking of how cute he is being, instead of trying to think of ways to potty train a 6 month old.

It’s pretty funny when you put the boys in their stroller.  Right now we have the seats facing each other.  We will have to change that soon, as they are running out of leg room.  Anyhow, I put toys on the trays in front of each boy.  The same toys.  I can watch the boys take turns actually holding on to their toy and reaching over with their other hand to take their brother’s same toy away.  For entertainment, place a bottle (it can be empty) on the floor.  Place both boys on the floor.  Watch them take turns rolling around hugging the bottle as they steal it back and forth.
