An update on us!
I’ve once again proven to be a bad blogger but what can I say…….I’m sorry. Anyway… for those faithful few who are still coming in hopes of a post here’s an update on us. We’ve had a hectic few weeks!
I’m working a few mornings a week in Little Belle’s class at preschool. It gives us some extra cash, gets us a good discount and I really enjoy little ones so it seemed like a win/win situation. Only, I underestimated how hard it would be to teach your own two-year-old! My Little Belle is challenging at home but with others is most often angelic. She did great in mom’s morning out and does wonderful at Sunday school; however, she’s giving her mama fits at preschool. So, I‘m currently reading a book about toddler discipline in hopes of coming up with a good solution for us! All of the infant/toddler development I studied in graduate school is proving useless in the heat of the moment! On top of that Little Belle’s had a bad ear infection that makes her feel miserable and not sleep well.
And then there was this weekend……. It actually started Thursday night when we took Little Belle to the fair. She got stung and had an allergic reaction that made her hand swell to the size of a ten-year-old’s hand. We had to take her to the EMT station and get the stinger out. That was not fun for Little Belle nor mama and daddy! Then Friday night she started throwing-up and had a stomach bug until late Monday. And, as if that wasn’t enough yesterday she had a random spike of a high temperature. I’m not sure if it was related to the stomach bug or something else. We’ll just have to see how today goes!
We visited my mom this weekend and came home to two trees down in our yard. One of which landed on the back part of our house! There’s not much damage but it will take some time to get everything cleaned up!
Even in the midst of such a hectic time I’m enjoying life and thankful to be spending so much time taking care of my family.
