Our week ended with the usual problems. We have a NON-eater in the family. And I have to say that when you are trying to feed three babies and ONE just does not open her vice gripped mouth - well you think maybe she needs to be in "time-out" to just think about it? Well that is where she went!
Yes - feel bad for her because she was put in the corner! Little creep. She feels like maybe she can feed herself ALL the time. But oatmeal? AUGH! How do you let a 10 month old child feed herself oatmeal?
So - after breakfast - I needed to do a few things in the kitchen and the children were getting a little restless in their chairs. I have a brilliant idea. I have a big gate that we used for Maya - maybe it will fit and I can trap them in the kitchen with me - we will be harmonious :) FAILURE.... You see the gate is 2 inches too short for the opening it needs to protect. So, I think maybe if I can put the gate at its largest capacity, then I can lean it up against the high chairs and we should be golden.
FAILURE... What I did not expect was for the LF to PULL the gate toward him (notice the open drawer to keep the gate from falling in ward!) Never a dull moment! This boy child - I have no words!
As I stated above - we have had a hellova weekend! I think I finally know what it feels like to be hit in the face with an iron skillet! Everyone continues to leak fiercely from the nose but now there is a twist. Pia has started to run a fever and has become lethargic. We watched her for 24 hours and finally she broke the fever! We are tired- but we are happy that she is now fever free!!!
This being said - Sunday afternoon was the nicest playtime & dinner time we have endured in over 5 days. I am hoping that we have a good week filled with some fun stories. Because the last few days have been a blur to me and Mousa. I am certain dad is beyond happy (maybe even joyous) to have gone to work today :)
In closing - you can see our little rock star posing with Rabbit ears behind Sammy!! She is feeling better, too! It has run its course in our home!
