Friday's are Fun

I'm very thankful to have been able to arrange a 4-day work week since going back to lab following my maternity leave. Friday's have always been great because they start my 3-day weekend at home with S&Z. Since our early intervention playgroup started last week, Friday's are more fun than ever!


Everyone was all smiles at breakfast, which was a nice change because this has not been true for much of the week due to those darn molars.
Playgroup was a success today. S&Z are catching onto the routines and they did really great with all the activity shifts. There is another set of b/g twins who started the group this week. They are 21-months old and super cute! They were born at 28 weeks but they seem to be doing great! I really can't take pictures due to the privacy of the other kids in group, but Derek did snap this pic of Zoe playing in the gross motor room :)
Zoe and Silas both sat down on the little butt mats for the entirety of circle time at the end of group (this didn't happen last week). Zoe even figured out the motions with one of the songs! They took a 3 hour nap after lunch; I think this will be the M.O. on Friday's now. We did lots of playing before dinner,
Keeping them busy while I cooked required a little creativity, but the J.Jill catalog served a nice distraction.


It was another fantastic Friday!

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
