Well, Eden's been teething (her top right tooth, #4 in case you're curious) some more lately and now she has her first real cold, so the past week hasn't been the best night-time sleeping (my morning started at 4:00 today). However, we've been very happy during the day, so here's an update in our latest adventures.
Introducing...Jason! He's a 7.5-month-old belonging to a friend with whom Kevin went to maintenance tech school 4 years ago. She is here at Maxwell taking a 5-week course and I am watching her little boy for her. So our adventures until the end of March will include Jason. And what adventures we've had so far!
My very first day with them started with a trip to the pediatrician on base for Eden's well-baby check-up. Surprisingly, the babies were amazingly well behaved and I was able to handle them both (I was seriously thinking that I might not be able to). So that was a great start to this 4-week adventure.
Here are some of our other adventures:
Just hanging out, hoping for some cheerios.
Mmmm. Potatoes with a side of hair.
38-piece Snapware set. Baby not included.
Hurray for food time!
Hanging out outside with the water barrels and the unplanted plants.
Then there's today:
3 colds + 2 babies + 1 mommy + 2 teething babies - several nights of decent sleep = unhappy day
Pray for God to give me strength today and probably all this week.
But that's okay. Anyway, happy Monday to everyone!
P.S. Oh! And I forgot to mention: I've been feeling a little low because of the decline in comments on my posts. I love comments! I don't care if they're one word or a novel. They are like mini hugs for my heart. So pardon for the lame plea, but pretty please post a comment or two every now and then. You'll make me so happy. :) Thanks!
