What a rough couple of past weeks! Kale has been so fussy lately! The other night he was up every 15 minutes. He's had a runny nose, fever, fussiness, and he chews on everything! I know he's teething and he's in pain! He has bitten me a few times while nursing and it's pretty painful...just wait until he actually has teeth! On top of that, Addison has had selective hearing. She's testing my patience and I won't let her win. She knows exactly how to push my buttons and I'm learning not to give her any satisfaction. So, she's had a few time-outs and has spent a lot of time in her room. I will not be one of those moms who doesn't discipline her kids...she knows how to behave but sometimes I have to remind her. Her surgery is 6 days away and I know she's having some fears. She had to have some blood drawn last week and I made Kris take her. I wouldn't have been able to handle seeing her in that much pain. A month ago she got a booster shot of some sort and she laid on the floor and screamed "They shot me in the legs!!!" I couldn't help but laugh because it was a funny scene. But I knew the blood draw wouldn't be funny. It took Kris and two nurses to hold her down. We tried to give her a pep talk. I told her there are sick kids around here who have to deal with needles and shots every day. That made her think and she later told me it made her sad that kids get sick. Her reflecting on what I say is one way I'm reminded that I'm doing a good job with her. She does listen to what I say and takes it to heart.
I will update after Addison's surgery. I know she will be fine. I've loaded her up with new coloring books and puzzles and DVD's! Prayers are always welcome!!!
