Today

Today Silas drew "angry" faces on the magna doodle we keep in the car.


Today we had a very fun playdate with Josie & Theo. The kids took a lunch break to work on solving the world's problems. Derek mediated the two sides.


Today Silas peed on the floor and pooped in his pull-up. He's been showing some "resistance" to using the potty this weekend :(

Today we watched an old friend smash the RNC on CNN. Bill has been doing a weekly pop culture commentary with Randi Kaye all summer long (check him out on FB). We are so proud of him!


Today Silas decided he wants to be a queen for Halloween. Zoe still wants to be a "cooker" (which is a good thing because Wendy found us a chef costume yesterday!).

Today I am so happy to know that another old and dear friend, Robert, is spending some much-needed time with his family after being released from a 14 year prison term on Friday. He made some major mistakes and has paid dearly for them. Today I am sending him lots of love...

Today we walked 2.6 miles and the kids spent a good chunk of time giving each other drinks of water.


Today we saw beautiful flowers on our walk.


Today the kids did some post-walk yoga stretches with me.


They are SO CUTE!!!


Today I'm trying to move the kids' bedtime back to 7:30 in preparation for preschool starting on Tuesday. I am sooooo excited for them!

Today I made homemade marinara sauce for the first time in over three years. I used it as the sauce in Eliza's Baked Pasta (ground chicken, red peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli), which has just come out of the oven... I used Chobani plain non-fat greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute. Yummy!!!

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 ...
