If it is not one thing... it is another.

So last Wednesday - Friday Mark was in Omaha for a conference/training. It was my turn to be a single parent and of course one of the boys got sick. Wednesday morning Emmett's eye was puffy and goopy when he got up. I took him to the doctor and he had ear infections and pink eye. Lovely!!! So I was home with the poor little guy on Wednesday and half the day Thursday. The antibiotic seemed to kick in right away. I bought a probiotic for his belly so everything seemed better. Emmett did have a hard time laying down Friday and Saturday nights and even got up during the night. Well guess why! Yep, the 1 year molars are trying to come through. Last night I could his red swollen gums with a little white where the teeth are trying to come through the gum.. Yep, both the top teeth are trying to come in.

Today was 'crazy hair day' at daycare. Cael let me make his hair CRAZY!!! :)

Then at about 10:45ish I got a call from daycare because Cael fell and hit his head. At first they called just to let me know. Then they called back because they were concerned. They took the below picture and sent it to my work email: Of course I freaked out and immediately left work to pick him up. I did take him to the doctor just to have him checked over... just bumps and bruises. I am at home with him this afternoon to keep an eye on him. Poor guy! Cael does not sit still much any more without a movie on so he is watching The Great Mouse Detective. I will now knock on wood as I say I hope we can go longer than a week without any new injuries or illness.


I hope you are all well! Love you!

  1. Poor Cael! That bump makes my head hurt! The picture looks so pitiful. I am sure you panicked, I did too! Hope all will be healed in a few days. I am sure the black and blue will be around for a week or more. He is a tough little crazy man. Hugs and kisses better from Beesha. How many teeth does Emmett have now, 50! It seems like he is growing a new one everyday! Must be that "gator" blood in him...lol.
    Love to all, Beesha XOXXOXOXOXXOXOXOOXXOXOXO

  2. Oh My Goodness!! Like you said, if it's not one thing, it's another! I can't believe he got that hurt just by falling! That's crazy! And it's so crazy how fast your little ones get teeth (or how slow mine do) Max still has no teeth and his gum's don't even look remotely like something's trying to break through!!

  3. Poor boys! I'm glad that Emmett seems to be getting better, and that Cael's fall wasn't worse!
