Siyas Boo-Boo Ear


We were all home this morning, including my parents who are visiting this week. Silas was playing with Zoe and he climbed up on a folding chair in the living room. I was in the nursery putting clothes away when I heard a pain scream. I ran into the living room where Derek was comforting him - he had toppled off the side of the chair. I noticed that the top part of his ear had turned purple and was bleeding. A LOT. Apparently he smashed his ear on a metal rack that holds the puzzles. YIKES. I proceeded to freak out while Derek kicked into EMT mode.

Silas was such a trooper while we (and by we I mean Derek) assessed the damage, cleaned up his ear, and put ice on it. Of course Zoe was very concerned while this was all happening. She hovered over him, patting his back and shushing him. After the kids took a shower Derek taped gauze over the wound to keep it clean and protected.


All day Zoe kept saying "Siyas boo-boo ear", and she would pretend to kiss it and then say "all better"! She also talked about how "Dada fix Siyas boo-boo". Silas on the other hand didn't say too much about it. This was the 2nd bleeding injury he's had in less than 24 hours (last night he fell and had a mouth bleed). Then tonight at bedtime Zoe proceeded to close his fingers in the bedroom door as we were getting ready for bed.

Poor kid :-( Let's hope he can stay injury free for the remainder of Christmas vacation!!!

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!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
