The Kids-2

Katie woke up Friday(July 11th) complaining of an earache. Joe took her to the doc for me before he went to work...if you have ever tried to take 3 kids to the doc alone before you understand why he was so sweet to go into work a little late and do this for me! She had en ear infection which was cause by a cold. But it was not till that night and the next day that she showed any symptoms of even having a cold(other then a cough). She is taking an Rx for her ear infection for 10 days and other then a slight runny nose and cough(hacking cough!) she is doing better. She is very excited about Pre-K; registration is August 6th. At which time we will get more details and I will update everyone.
Ally is talking more and more lately. You can ask her a question, like 'What happened?" and she will reply “Sis ‘pussed’ me!” It is so great to hear her sweet little voice tattling on her sister. =]
She is trying to potty train still. She goes peepee in the potty chair almost once a day. Usually will go sit on it in evenings before bed when 'sis' is going potty too. Of course that is always at the insisting of Katie that she goes. But when she pees in the potty and I clap and make a big to do of it, she gets such a huge grin and look of pride on her face. She knows she is doing something good and exciting. She is going to really miss having Katie around 24/7 starting this fall! And so am I!Blake woke up yesterday(monday)with a stuffy nose. I am hoping it is allergies but I am sure I am not that lucky...it is probably the cold that Katie is getting over. But to look at the bright side, it is strengthening his immune system! Other then the stuffy nose, he is doing great! Yesterday he was laying on his tummy in the living room floor. He had several toys lying around him. He was attempting to play with each one. I walked by him at one point and he was reaching for one impeticular. I walked back by and he had inched himself forward and had it! He is starting to scoot on his belly, pulling himself with his arms....too cute! Won't be long before he is crawling! He rolls back and forth now to get toys that he wants. If a toy he wants is on a blanket in front of him he will pull the blanket towards himself to get it! How smart....only 6 months old and already using problem solving skills! =]
