The other night as we sat around our dinner table, listening to each other's day and how yucky the food was, Adam all of a sudden, in a high pitch, feminine voice says..."I'll take a baby...I can always use another baby." Todd and I look at each other like 'WTF?' and Spencer says he's copying Saturday Night Live's skit where Angelina Jolie walk's on to the set when babies are mentioned, and asks for babies. I laughed so hard, I thought was going to spit my food out. Anyway, he was so cute. I just love him. Always making us giggle. Then, yesterday, I got a call from the school Nurse that went like this:
Melea: Hello
Chris: Hi, Melea, this is Chris at the school,
Melea: Hey
Chris: Hey, I have Adam here, and he slipped and fell on some ice and hit his head.
Melea: O, No...I be there in a minute.
Chris: No, I was wondering if I could give him a Tylenol, I think he will be ok.
Melea: Are you sure, cuz I'll come get him. I'm going to lay my baby down in a minute so it's better if I can come get him now. (That was a massive excuse to come see him and make sure he was really ok.)
Chris: I'm sure he's ok, it's bad, but not 'that' bad.
Melea: Well, can I talk to him?
Chris: Yes, here he is.
Melea: Hey Baby, Are you ok? Do you want me to come get you?
Adam: No, Mom, I'm ok....I love you Mommy.
Melea: (Fighting back tears from my little man being so big) Ok baby, call me if you need me to come get you.
Adam: Bye, Mommy.
Melea: (In tears now) Bye Baby....
Chris: He's ok...There's no bumps, he's not dizzy, or blacking out....He's fine.
Melea: Ok....PLEASE CALL if you need me to come get him.
So , I'm in tears and worried about my baby, but I'm mostly crying because he doesn't need me. And he was a big brave man all of a sudden. Sweet boy. When he got home, his pants were ripped, but other than that, he was really good. No lasting trauma.
There has been another biggy going on at my house. Sara has been sleeping so sucky lately. She wakes up every 1 to 2 hours and wants to nurse. I call it 'plugged in' because she really isn't nursing, she just wants to snuggle. So anyway, two days ago, I cut back on her milk intake and she has been a different baby. The Dr. told me at her last check up she could have an allergy to milk because her eczema was so bad, but she didn't seem overly concerned, so I continued, in moderation, to give her milk.....But I kept having this nagging feeling that she needs to really cut back on her he milk consumption. So I cut it out for a few days, and she has been a sleeping....and happier baby....I hope this was the issue and she will sleep now. Non sleeping baby = really bitchy Mommy.
A few weeks ago, Sara fell in love with Dora the Explorer. She watches it all the time. If it's not on, she's upset and having a drama queen fit about watching it. She also has pull-ups with Dora on them. Whenever we get a new one out for her she always has to "See Boots!!!!" before we can put the put it on her. She just loves Dora and Boots. Well, this year, Santa brought her 'Boots'. I think he could've saved his Elves a lot of work and not worried about the kitchen he gave her. Boots has been the main thing she has played with. They are besties :) So, as long as she has her 'woobie' (blanket) and her Boots, she can rest peacefully :) Sweet baby girl.
