The week passed quickly...almost too quickly. We had yet another round of colds go through. It started with Liam. I think he picked something either at the museum or in nursery. Throughout the rest of the week everyone dropped like flies. Well, everyone that is but me! Knock on wood, because I don't think I have ever not gotten sick when the kids have been sick. Tim even struggled a bit with a lost voice. Hyrum and I went to church today because Liam was still draining green goo, Lila was still wiping her nose on her shirt, and Tim's voice wasn't all the way better. I'd like to go back for a moment to discuss Lila. Try as we might to get her to use a tissue she just won't. She wipes her nose on her shirt and we tell her to get a tissue and she responds that she doesn't need one...insert face slap. That girl! It makes sense because she no longer has a drip...it's on her nose. We just wish she would put it on a tissue. Grrr!
Okay, moving on. We spent most of the week trying not to get other kids sick. I am pretty sure we shared our germs with the neighbors when they came over to play earlier in the week, before everyone else started getting sick. It's always harder when we can't get out as much. Hopefully, this coming week will be better.
Lila met with an orthopedist and everything looks good. Her bone has already straightened out and it looks to be healing fast. She is mostly out of her sling and doing fine. She still has to be careful with biking and putting weight on her arm and shoulder, but she was given the okay to swim, which is amazing. I am going to try to get the kids out to swim at least once this week. She is super excited to start school...more on that later. Lila continues to try to exert her independence. It's exhausting at times, but she will learn how to communicate and get what she wants. I just have to remember that it takes time. I have been going through a learning process with Lila and her hair. She has wavy/curly hair and struggles with tangles and all sorts of things that goes along with it. Well, we did some playing with her hair and it wasn't perfect, but man her hair is a lot curlier than I thought!
I stayed busy entertaining sick kids, the regular house stuff, and prepping for school. I have a list I have been chipping away at and I finished most of the organization and looking through curriculum this week. I just have to do some actual lesson planning for the first week. I wasn't planning on starting until September, because I always hated starting before Labor day. Well, both of the kids are super excited to start and it looks like we will be starting in August, because once my list is done there isn't any real reason not to start. It just means that we will end earlier in May. We are also waiting for the withdrawal from public school to be official. Everything is in order, we just have to wait for the district.
That's about all from us. Here's to another hot month!
