Not feeling so well

Jared had an 11:45 dentist appointment today and came home after that. His ears are really bothering him (we both have colds). Eli still isn't feeling well and he layed on the couch much of the morning and we watched Blues Clues. We got some snow this morning and Eli ate some. Eli hasn't been eating well but did eat some of his sandwich and some yogurt for lunch. Adam was surprised to see Daddy come home early and asked, "Where's Jacob?" He's not used to seeing Daddy before Jacob. We picked Jacob up a few minutes early from school so we could make it to his Dentist appointment on time. He was very nervous about this appointment, remembering how they strapped him down for his dental work at the pediatric dentist. He asked the hygenist if I could come back with him and she reluctantly agreed. She started off with x-rays and he complained that his belly hurt. He said he was afraid he was going to choke. He was crying and wouldn't open his mouth so she warned him that I was going to have to leave the room. She did have me go out to the waiting room then. I didn't hear anymore crying from him and he was happy when they came out. He even gave her a hug goodbye. Eli and Adam had a great time playing in the kids area while we waited. Adam was doing puppet shows for us behind the chairs. Eli did a puppet show too. From there we headed to the mall for Jacob's picture appointment. He did great for those. We went to Burger King for dinner. Jacob ate a cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard on it and loved it. I was really surprised to see him eat that. Usually we special order grilled cheese. We also had ice cream cones. The boys had fun playing in the play area. Daddy helped Eli up to the top and he was so happy up there. He would point by him and say to me, "Mere (Come here)."

I got up this morning around 5am to do my morning exercises. At 7:00 I woke Adam because he and I had to be at the dentist at 8:00. Jared and Jacob stayed home from work/school today because they still weren’t feeling well. Eli had bad diarrhea today and also puked this morning. Adam wanted me to get my teeth cleaned first. He liked watching the birds and squirrels out the window. When it was Adam's turn he was little nervous and asked me to sit right next to him. He did great for his cleaning and loved how the chair that went up/down. The hygentist said his teeth look great. After he was finished she let him pick out a toothbrush, sticker, and a pencil. Then she took his picture to hang on the wall and gave him the picture from his last visit. We then headed to the mall because Adam had an appointment for pictures. We were really early so we went up and down the escalator many times. Adam did great for his pictures. We rode the escalator a few more times before leaving. Adam ate a packed lunch in the van. We went to Coldstone for ice cream and Adam picked green ice cream with sprinkles. Then we headed to Kroger for groceries. Adam liked being my forklift and put things in the cart for me. While we were driving Adam said he had to go potty. We stopped at Burger King to use their bathroom. I let Adam run around in the play area for a little while. We then went to the Elevator for chicken grain and bird food. We also stopped at the library to drop off some books. Adam put them in the drop box for me. It sure was fun spending the day with Adam. We got home around 3:00. Eli was napping when we got there. Jacob was playing with legos at the desk. I put groceries away and cleaned out the refridgerator. Jared mentioned that Eli had looked blotchy. When he woke up we realized he had hives. Poor guy! After dinner Jared headed to Meijer for Benedryl. After Jacob and Adam were tucked in bed I gave Eli a cool bath. He didn't want to stay in for long though.

When I woke Eli up this morning I found that he had puked in his bed. Poor guy! Then on our drive home from taking the boys to school he puked in his car seat. We were almost home. He spent the morning in the chair or on my lap. We watched Curious George. I made him some Gatorade slushies which he really liked. After the first one he held up his cup and smiled really big at me hoping for more. Eli had really bad diarrhea and leaked all over the carpet. I held him and he fell asleep. He continued sleeping on the couch while I did my boxing exercise. I woke him when we had to go down the road to get Adam off the bus. Eli did eat some crackers and fruit. He was in and out of the chair this afternoon. We watched Fireman Sam. When Jacob got home from school he wanted to make paper airplanes and origami from our calendar papers. Eli took a nap and I worked on knitting some slippers. Eli didn’t eat anything for dinner but was up and playing some this evening. Jared and I had fun playing Battleship.
