Yay goldenlove! cookswithwine, my mom was here for months (to be fair, DH had to go back to work for 5 weeks a week after L was born, so... ) I'm scaring my H y'all! I just watched Naomi Campbell's airport routine video and I want to do it on our flights to the UK. Don't want to get sick on a plane and then spend the next 10 days on cruise with a sick toddler and sick self while DH who has an immune system of the gods. (plus he flies all the time and so he's probably gotten every cold known to modern man lol) L is reacting to something today. His left eye is puffy (looks like a black eye) he's super itchy and has a cough, but no fever!?! He's benadryl but that's not helping much.

Well K is having a good day so far. They dropped her down to an even lower flow and she's been doing great. Seems like the less support she has for breathing, the better she's doing. Plus the hose is so much smaller and more flexible so it's easier to hold her. Tonight they want to do a sleep study on her so the ear, nose, throat doctors can make recommendations.
I've also decided that C needs his big boy room now so I've been spending my free time looking up furniture and whatever else we need. No idea when it'll actually get done but I can at least start.

That's great news! What are you looking at for C's room?

A decided 4:30am was a good time to start her day. It took some convincing but I got her back down a few hours later. Of course I haven't been able to sleep since the original wake up. 😴 ugh the worst. I’m glad you were able to get back down though. Sometimes just laying around in silence helps somewhat.

Empty water bottle to stay hydrated Disposable gloves Clorox wipes (she uses Dettol but that's a caribbean brand) wipe all the surfaces that you can possibly touch. (seat, wall, window, tray table, seat belt, etc.) seat covers for everyone face masks (like medical ones) she drinks lots of water and had hydration face masks too (the paper ones to moisturize LOL) but that's more for me. After L having an allergic reaction today and not know what's it's from (his left eye is swollen, he has hives on his face and Benadryl isn't helping much) he also has a cough but no fever, I'm copying it! The reaction to her video is mixed. Some agree and other's are calling her OCD which I don't agree with. Knowing how little the crew gets to clean between each flight, I don't think it's that over the top especially when she flies so much and can't afford to be sick for a photo shoot or gala or something.

That...is a lot. Do you realize how many germs you’ll come in contact with on a cruise?

Yeah, it helped that she got a couple more hours of sleep. Although that threw off our morning and made us late to our first MOMS group playdate. Everyone was super nice though, I'm thinking this is going to be a good fit.

We have a meet the teacher for B the day before he starts school at 10:15am. It's a very strange time because a lot of people work during the day. And then I have one for J the Friday of that same week at 9:30. I'll be honest I didn't even think twice about it since I don't have a job but now that I think about it it's very annoying for those that have full time jobs.

goldenlove - that's fantastic! I'm thrilled she's doing so well. About C's room, do you have colors or a theme in mind?

goldenlove , I LOVE that rocket ship bookshelf! I, like you, am also torn on wanting to decorate or not. I really want to but I don't know when the "appropriate" age is. B is 4 and If I asked him what he wants his room to be he'd say trains or cars or something. But I feel like I'd be changing it again really soon because I can see him growing out of that. Same with J. This is why we still have only cribs, a nightstand, and dressers in there basically. Nothing else yet. I purposely haven't painted because I wanted them to pick the color they want. But I also want to pick a theme and go crazy!

But I also want to pick a theme and go crazy! Yup.. I kept saying the same thing but we really need to at least move the glider out of there so I figured a bookshelf and seating isn't too bad if he does want something else later. We'll probably leave the walls grey for now and just throw a couple pictures on the wall. He's keeping his furniture since the crib converts.

So we've gotten to the point with C where he will want to sit on the toilet but only because he wants to play with his foam alphabet bath toys. We just go through the ABC's then he's done. I'd be fine with it if he actually peed while sitting there but he still hasn't done it and gets mad when we ask him to. This kid is so stubborn, I swear.
Also this morning he would not let me change his diaper and asked H to do it. Fine with me lol.

M was pretty shy yesterday at meet the teacher. She didn't want to walk in the room and then hid behind me when I went up to the teacher. She's sad she doesn't know anyone in her class. She found her spot at the table and I introduced her to the other 3 kids she'll be sitting next to. Hopefully she won't freak out on Monday.

I'm sure she'll do great once school starts!

I still don't think he knows how to force it or what he's supposed to do. The other day my mom gave him a bath and he was in his towel on her bed and he peed. He never does that but she said he got upset. I thought maybe he was starting to figure it out.

C is still weird about candy. Most of the time he's not interested. I can totally see him saying no if I tried.
