Sick

So the past week and a half have been filled with a sick family. When we got back from the beach Carson and Clark had croup and Ben had an ear infection and a sinus infection. Once the croup cleared up the twins had a really nasty cough and lots of congestion. This past Monday I had to take Carson back to the doctor to get something to help break up the junk in his chest. So when he wakes up on Tuesday morning his eye is matted shut so we had to go back to the doctor. It wasn’t pink eye, thank goodness, it was just the guck starting to come out his eye so the doctor gave us a different cough medicine. So all the boys are feeling much better but they all still have a cough and very runny noses. But I woke up this morning with a very sore throat and my ears hurt and I have some sinus pressure. So I am sitting at the doctors office now. I feel terrible about not working this week. But my kids come first. Hopefully after all of this everyone will stay healthy for a couple months.
Other than the sickness the boys are doing great! Ben is talking better everyday. He surprises me with all of the songs he can sing now. I plan on trying to do some potty training over the weekend, he is showing all of the signs that he is ready other than wanting to sit on the potty. He will sit with his clothes on but flips out if you try to pull his pants down. My plan is to put his Thomas the train underwear on him and tell him that if he gets Thomas wet it will make Thomas VERY sad. Wish me luck!
The twins are about to be separated at their daycare. They are having to move some kids around and Carson was one of the kids selected to move up, he is more ready than Clark. It wasn’t something that I really wanted but now that I’ve had time to think about it I think it is going to do them some good. Clark has always kind of been the more reserved out of the two so if they are apart I am hoping Clark will come more out of his shell and get his own personality, so to say. And as mom I am hoping that will help with the fighting at home. Haha! Maybe since they wont spend all day together they will be able to enjoy each other more. So that move happens the first of October.
So I think that is all for now.
