Busy Busy

Last week was crazy busy. I had to go to work for three days and there was tons of juggling to try to find some babysitters for the kids. Scott watched Olivia for most of Monday, Margaret watched them both on Tuesday (the kids had a great time) and Wednesday Olivia came to work with me. Luckily she was a big hit and very well behaved!!

Olivia's teeth are still coming in, most of them have broken the surface (Here is a picture of her biting her high chair). To add to her discomfort, however, she has an ear infection. The antibiotics are working, so she is feeling much better, but she hates taking the medicine (and really who can blame her)! She isn't crawling yet (and I have doubts that she ever will), but she is perfecting her standing and assisted walking techniques!!

Ethan is doing pretty well, still having some diarrhea. We went to the doctor today and they want me to get two stool samples. Let me tell you how much fun that is, good thing I love him so much!!! I had a parent teacher meeting with Ethan's Montessori school teacher on Friday. She had lots of good things to say about him but she said his most memorable quality is his sweetness, kindness and his big heart. She said that he is always trying to help the other kids and make them feel better if they are sad. Ethan was there and keeps telling everyone that he has a bad heart (instead of big heart).

Olivia and I had a nice visit with my friend Rebecca and her son Harry. They came over for lunch yesterday. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture. It was great to see both of them and Harry had lots of fun exploring Olivia's toys.

More to tell, will try to post again in the next couple of days....
