Round 2

Oh do they fight, oh do they cry and pinch and push each other over and munch on feet and hands and ears or whatever else... but oh do they love each other too!

My precious girls.

Well it's back for round 2 of antibiotics & mommy vs ear infections. I wish we could beat these darn things! It seems like the girls have been sick foreeeeeeever. They bumped K&K up to the next level and moved Abby onto a whole new range of antibiotics to see if that would help. Mommy would really like to sleep again! Plus the days aren't so crazy wonderful with three girls with ear infections. Abby & Kara have one in their right ear and Kiley has a double ear infection. Loving this other doctor I've been seeing lately. Good grief she remembers me and get's right down to the point! FINALLY someone who just listens to me!

The hardest part of the appointment actually was getting the meds. They sent them to the hospital pharmacy a few floors down so that it would be easier for me since I had to take the girls in by myself (that was fun). So here I am in a little store with candy and toys and cards and various medical equipment with two fussy babies and a vivacious toddler. Thankfully Abby was on her very best behavior and just sat... seriously just sat in the waiting chairs. (Hallelujah!) The babies prowled the shop just a bit so I could fill out paperwork and then we were on our way, baby on each hip and Abby close by in tow. I bought her a thing of apple juice for being so good and helping me out. I don't know how else I would have survived that....

(Kiley... haven't edited it yet but it was too cute not to share)

Today was hard. They were miserable which made me a little miserable but that is how it goes sometimes. Poor Abby must really be bothered by her ear she slipped on the steps twice and just was a little more of a handful then she normally is. We did a lot of things to try and pass the time but I think we will need to find a place to go tomorrow or we will all go insane. It's hard when the weather is so hot and humid because we wear out so fast. We did three walks though and played with chalk, played in the sandbox, swings and 'bike' ... she also helped me make homemade pizza and muffins. She loves to cook! She also did the sweetest thing today while I was editing photos. She came and sat on my lap and played with my hair like she was braiding it or putting preeties in it. "Almost done honey, it's ok" It was hard not to laugh, but oh was it sweet. That was my favorite thing with her today.

Oh and she slept in her big girl bed for nap and didn't even play in her room! 

Of course for night time she wanted to go back into the crib... and was very very very insistent that she be returned to the crib. So I gave in. Maybe it's a comfort thing. I got her new bedding and she loves it. We even cleaned up her room a bit to try and create some more play space. Kiley and Kara had a blast playing in all of the stuffed animals and clothes. They kept laughing and laughing. We played down there for quite awhile. Now if only the rest of my basement were as clear! Garage Sale!!!!

Kiley and Kara have discovered that you can go UP stairs now... creating issues with the deck stairs and being downstairs. Suddenly I have to make sure they don't decide to climb when I'm not looking. 

I'm noticing they are starting to do things the same way at the same time. Now this is as close as I could get the picture but seriously they were both holding their left foot... the same way. Once in awhile I'll say something to them and they'll both turn to me, with the same movements. Almost like they choreographed it. There are certainly moments when I am surprised at how identical they are... even if in my eyes they are complete individuals who happened to share mommy. :o)
