as always. we're doing our friday happy dance :) to happy feet...caleb just can't resist the songs in this movie, his hips just start shaking, i tried to capture on camera but he wouldn't do his speciality hip shake, however i still thought he was getting down so i thought i'd share!
we (well maybe it was more, I) had several
wonderful moments today. after our morning
yesterday i was ever so grateful for these moments. first off, my morning lark (caleb) slept in till 8:30. let me repeat that, 8:30!!! after several check ins to make sure he was still breathing- i took some deep breaths of gratitude. we've been struggling with later nights and early mornings so this was a huge blessing! he even woke up happy :) i started the day with the urge to run while dave got ready for work (and both boys were still snoozing) and let me just say-it was the best! now i remember why i
always worked out in the morning during college. i think there will be a repeat of this. i only did two miles but my running partner wanted to run at 5-so we did 4. which means....i did 6 miles! finally :) now if i can just do that all at once...i'll be good to go! after a bad couple of weeks of slow runs, i feel like i'm getting my groove back :)
moving on....
why not? i was only too happy to oblige to my sweet toddler's wishes to join little bro in the pack in play while i made dinner.
next up. our other
wonderful moment occurred in the afternoon. both boys took two hour naps-wait for it- at the exact same time!
wonderful i tell ya. but even more wonderful than that is that caleb woke up happy again. singing and dancing. this
does not happen often and the wonderfulness of it was not lost on me.
and lastly, we had a dr. visit today for my lil guy who is having a major eczema flare up...it led us to the lab to draw blood. i was in debate as to wait and do it solo but then i thought-why not? we've got this! so lucas sat like a champ on the chair behind me (it was a huge chair) and caleb held on to my body like it was going out of style (he's a cuddle bug through and through) and the sweet lady brought out every elmo thing she could find (whistle! stickers! sunglasses!) she knew just what to say and what to do to make this mama ohhhh sooo appreciative. so much so that i was ready to hug her at the end (and if my mom had been there i have no doubt she would have). i refrained. but she did get a lot of thank yous! and tears were hardly shed (my end included) caleb was so brave! (and so was i). they drew blood to see what he might be allergic too (food, pollen, etc). so hopefully this helps us narrow down some things. and we got some creams for all the scaly red patches (all over his body) poor guy. if anyone has any suggestions for creams or lotions they use? send them my way please....we've tried aveeno, cetaphyl, aquafor, and nothing seems to help. today i decided to try the 'fancy' expensive stuff...burts bees and california baby (all natural) and i'm hoping this helps keep it controlled because i hate having to use prescription medicine on the boys' skin when it gets bad. i'm also thinking it might be time to get a water softener... i think the hard water isn't helping their skin at all.
the week ended nicely with movie night with the girls. zack efron on the big screen :) the lucky one. it was good, pretty intense! now just looking forward to a day of weeding, reading, playing outside and sun bathing tomorrow while we wait for auntie lor to arrive and then spending a day at the beach (in some cutie outfits grandma and grandpa sent from their trip curacau) pics to come of that! thank you grandma and grandpa.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! I think it'd be safe to say, I am fully recovered from Thursday. Happy Friday Friends :)
