Today

I scheduled an appointment for a pedicure ~ 2 months ago, knowing how good it would feel to treat myself to one in the middle of the winter. Since I was going to be down at the salon I suggested to Derek that he and the kids meet me after the appointment and we could head over to the library. We talked about going to the library all morning.


Zoe was very sad when we packed up the library books that needed to be returned. The library books usually sit on the middle shelf of the bookcase in their room.


She was also really sad when I told her I was going to the salon and she realized that I was going alone. Apparently she wanted to get her haircut again! I explained that I was getting my toes painted and that we will be getting our haircut again in March.

The fam met me at the salon and they got to see the tail end of the pedicure. Zoe talked about "momma toes painted" for the rest of the day :-)

We have been going to the library every 2-3 weeks since November and they LOVE it. We say goodbye to each book as we put them in the return slot, and then we pick out 10-15 new books.


The kids are much better behaved now than the first time we went to the library. When we got home today everybody read new books while I put lunch together.

Auntie Kristin, we love the Child Scientist t-shirts!!!
It was a great morning spent out and about in our neighborhood!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2 ...
