s! so cute. too bad she has to wear bibs all the time due to drooling...
s with abuelo, ready for the hot tub!
z, s, & mommy in the hot tub. it took z a long time to adjust to the heat, but s liked it right away!
z, excited about bath time in the huge tub!
sunriver '12
we left for sunriver the day after the ear tubes procedure. it wasn't the best scheduling decision in the world, as friday morning we had to get z to the hospital by 7am, and then pack for sunriver AND leave the house in cleaning condition with everything picked up, as the cleaners were to come while we were out of town. so much work! we got everything accomplished, and made it. last year, we started a tradition of stopping for ice cream in sisters. here is z with his mint chocolate chip ice cream cone! (he didn't eat it all....)
new toy
z unknowingly picked out this toy (at the time, i told him it was for a friend) as a reward for going through the myringotomy. the day of the procedure was rainy, but we let him try it out anyway. it's a little anticlimactic. he still had fun!
rainy day...
something z created on a rainy day, while i was busy washing dishes.
look what i can do!!!

myringotomy
z gets tubes in his ears tomorrow. he hasn't seemed worried or concerned about the procedure at all. i'm really interested to see if it makes any immediate difference in his hearing and speech.
he sounded a tiny bit croupy today, so i hope it doesn't develop into something big, with our trip to sunriver on saturday.
i've stopped nursing on the right side because it hurts too much, and the tissue needs time to heal. pumping takes SO much time! it's very inconvenient, but there is no other option.
we've noticed s seems to sleep much longer at night if she drinks formula at some point in the evening. makes me feel like a failure, like i'm not feeding her enough or something. on the other hand, as much as it's been enjoyable nursing her (aside from all the pain) when things have been going smoothly, it is a pleasant thought to imagine being free from the task.
i took the kids to fred meyer to stock up on z's underwear & some other things (including a toy for him for after his procedure tomorrow), and they both sat in one of the car carts. s looked so cute sitting next to her big brother, playing with the steering wheel just like z. when he started banging his feet against the back of the car, she started doing the same thing, too. so cute!

firsts...
s can wave goodbye now!!! and she has been saying ma ma ma ma all day today. so exciting!
z's behavior has been absolutely awful the past few days. he slapped me yesterday, almost hit a little girl at the grocery store (i managed to intervene at the last minute) for no reason, almost bit me this morning (completely out of the blue), and has been hitting vinny daily. awful. almost drives me to drink. he didn't used to behave this way. and getting him to do the simplest things often requires my yelling in his face - it sucks the years out of my life.
he was very well behaved at his dental appointment today. no cavities, either. i guess i'd rather have him acting out at home, instead of in public at important things like doctors' appointments. in a perfect world, though, he just wouldn't hit at all. i already had to deal with major biting for 4 months when he was younger. don't i deserve to skip at least one bad phase?
