Random things the kids say

Kylie: "Mama/Daddy/Grandma, I neeeed you." Said while being very serious (maybe hands on your face) and batting those eyelashes at you.

Josie: "Mom, do you think my boobs will be big and puffed up like yours someday?" What can I say about that? : )

Mallory: "WAAAAAAA" Okay, so she really is a good, pretty laid-back baby. She's been sleeping from 9 - 5 or 10 - 6:30 since about 7 weeks old. Knock on wood!!! And she is our resident thumb-sucker.

Kylie: "There's clouds." "It's gonna rain." Said on a sunny day.

Josie: "When I get big I'm going squirrel/deer/elk hunting with my dad." Recently, she's been saying "Pappy." Oh, and she's been addressing me as "Mother." Of course, Kylie will repeat it.

Silly Girls

Starting yesterday, we have one new child that can't sit still. Miss Mallory has decided that it's time for her to start attempting to roll over. No complete flips yet, but definitely working on it. I can lay her on the floor with her head pointing to the TV, and by the time I go to pick her up, she has moved! Little Girly, isn't it a little too soon to be thinking about rolling over? : )

The drama at bedtime: Says Kylie "Momma, Momma, Mommy!" "Yes Kylie?" "I need out." (Said while standing at the gate blocking their doorway after we put her in bed 15 minutes earlier) "No, get in bed." "Momma," "What?" "I need something to eat." All being said with her little smile and uber-cute cheeks. Another silly girl.

Josie and Kylie got to go out to the woods with Dad this afternoon. When Dad went out to check his trail cam, he took both girls. They were gone for nearly two hours. Dad said Josie walked the whole time. They even got to see a deer! Yippee for Father/Daughter bonding time!!!

Little Mal

Mallory,

Not sure what was going on yesterday evening/last night. You've been sleeping all night now for almost 3 weeks (mom & dad are loving you for that!!!). Usually you are in bed and asleep for the night around 9 - 10:00 p.m. However, last night Mom didn't put you in bed until around 12:45 - what's up with that? Made for a short night. Well, that and Kylie greeting us before 6:00 a.m. and was up for the morning. Thank goodness for Dora!

Anyways Mal, we would love for you to get to bed early tonight. You will be going to Aunt Jenny's, along with Josie & Kylie, while Mom & Dad go out tonight (eating KC fish and then going to the "Willy Wonka" play at OCC).

Love you Little Mal Mal!

Follow-up

So, yesterday morning, I called Prime Mail Pharmacy to check on my prescriptions. They called my house on the 16th to let me know they were processing my prescriptions, which I thought nothing of b/c they were new prescriptions. When I called yesterday, they told me they were not processing them b/c they couldn't verify the doctor's signature (prescriptions are computer-generated at Deaconess). They put them back in the mail to me on the 20th. Hellllooooo! 5 days had passed - why didn't they call and tell me they weren't going to process them? Anyways, I called Dr. K's office and let them know about the situation. It is okay (per Prime Mail) that the scripts be faxed (helllooo again - not an actual signature!) and they will get filled. I will be going to Dr. K for a follow up appointment on Monday to make sure everything is okay after the asthma attack. God bless Dr. Houston's nurse who so generously gave me 24 days' worth of Singulair samples to get me by until my others arrive in the mail. What a mess!!! Hopefully everything is on the right track.

Scary

I had to go to the hospital last night due to an asthma attack. I have no idea what brought it on, other than that I've been out of my Singulair for 2 1/2 weeks. Anyways, I was having breathing problems most of yesterday evening. I took my Albuterol inhaler at 6:30, 7:30, 8:30, 9:30 & 10:00. At 10:00, nothing happened when I took the inhaler. Debated about whether to do a breathing treatment with Albuterol, but couldn't find my nebulizer. Called Janette to see if she could bring hers. By the time she got to our house, I couldn't hardly breathe. We decided to have Doug take me to the e-room. Janette stayed since all 3 girls were already in bed. (What a great mother in law I have - she hand-washed all of our dirty dishes and started folding our laundry!) I took one puff of my inhaler on the way in and it helped a little. Once there, they gave me a breathing treatment with Atrovent (a strong bronchiodialator) and steroids. Then I had to get a steriod shot in the hip - ouch! We got back home around 12:00. I don't have to do anything special, just go about as I have been. I had a terrible, terrible headache when we got home. This morning, I was still a little short of breath at home. I took on puff on the inhaler on my way to work. I am breathing great here at the bank. I can't help but wonder if there is something in our house bothering me. I know Doug would say "that's why we're going to build a new house." I can't wait. Hoping for a good day. I am getting ready to call Dr. Koleliat. Just one more note: I can't recall a time when I have ever had an asthma attack that bad - maybe when I was little, but I certainly don't remember it. And, I am so glad that it was me with the asthma attack and at the e-room rather than one of my kids - I'm hoping I didn't pass that along to any of them.

Conversation and Daycare

Said by Kylie on March 21, 2010: (While I set on the couch pumping)"Mom, your boobs (sounded like Bobes), your boobs, your boobs!" "What about them, Kylie?" "Um, they match!"

Accredidation lady came to daycare today. Josie was the "subject" child. Janette got to discuss Josie with the accredidation lady. They talked about her moodiness, especially first thing in the morning, and how it's addressed at the daycare. On a very positive note, the daycare kids did their cowboy dance for the accredidation lady. It is hilarious! Josie really likes to "ride 'em cowboy" with her lasso while holding on to the horse's reigns. Mallory got a bad mark during the observation due to the fact that she was being so good, that Grandma Janette forgot to move her around to a different location after 40 minutes.

Both big girls are engrossed in the "Sky Dancers" movie right now. Haven't heard a peep out of them since we've been home. Mallory is snoozing.

What's Going On

The kids are growing up so fast. I need to have a place to keep track of things I have seen, heard, thought about, and other happenings. I'm on the computer often, so I figure this is the place. Hopefully, this will help with scrapbooking, baby books, and my memory!
