Things are pretty hectic around here unpacking, cleaning, and taking care of twins. Oh yeah, and dealing with dogs trying to breakout of our backyard almost on a daily basis. Siberian Huskies are known for being escape artists.
Bryce's eye is doing a lot better. He didn't have a scratch on it at all. He had his stitches out on the 12th of September, which after three failed IV attempts, led to him being put under general anesthesia. For now, we have to put sunblock on his face when we go out, we have to massage his scars, and put scar treatment patches over them for at least 8 hours a day. We've tried putting them on at night and he takes them off before we see him the next morning. It's the same story when we put them on during the day. He takes them off at nap time.
The kids' development is so hard to keep up with. Since they were in the car accident with me, I took them to the chiropractor on September 25th for their first adjustment. I'm glad I did because they had higher than normal temperature readings along their spines.
Here are some pics:
I usually write stuff on the calendar and transfer it here, so by date, here's other development:
September 29: B helped put away bins in Sabbath School (he was the only child who stayed back to help)
September 30: B saw a partial picture of a gecko on a Geico add and said, "gecko!" (he has only seen tiny real ones and not even very close.)
October 1: K learned to vacuum the carpet. B taught himself to say "daddy" and tried to say "mommy" (we say that he taught himself because he corrected himself.) B also helped me move a table from one room to the other.
October 2: B&K climbed a ladder for the first time at gymnastics and B counted to two when he was pointing to his eyes
October 6: B hid in a closet, poked his head out and said, "I see you!" K walked around the corner and yelled back, "I see you!"
October 7: K wanted juice so she yelled out, "Juice for Lala" (Lala is what B started so she carried it on.) B recognized the letters "o" and "i" on my t-shirt.
Favorites:
Shows: Sesame Street, Word World, Super Why, Sid the Science Kid, and Cat in the Hat. They also like Big Bang Theory. We don't watch movies anymore, so they don't have a favorite. I usually let them watch about an hour of TV total in the morning.
Animals: birds, geckos, dogs, cats, ants, and butterflies (as of Saturday)
Activities: They love water (everytime we walk past the pool at the YMCA, they yell out, "water") but of course, we can't go for a while because of Bryce's scars. They love playing outside, petting the dogs/cats, and chasing the birds. They love to help me make cookies and anything else in the kitchen. They love to read.
Foods/drinks: pumpkin muffins, pancakes, waffles, apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries, vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, eggs (more K than B), turkey bacon, Tuscan Lemon Chicken, chicken enchiladas, fajitas, taco salad, tomatoes (K), turkey wrap, blueberries, graham crackers, snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, M&Ms (although, they mostly only get these at other people's houses), flavored coconut water, apple juice, fruit juice, milk, oatmeal, peanut butter energy bites, and ice cream.
