On Friday morning Emma’s nose started to run. By late afternoon she was dropping snot bombs everywhere. What’s a snot bomb? It’s what comes out of a sneezing baby who can’t yet blow their nose. Gross. Leah was fine until this morning and her day progressed just like Emma’s Friday. We finally bought one of those ear thermometers (we are not bad parents, the girls have never had a fever) - the one we got when the babies were newborns has never registered higher than a corpse’s temperature. Neither one of them have a fever or a cough - just a runny nose. They each have had a few more clingy/whiny moments than normal but for the most part they are carrying on with their day. We’ve been giving them Dimetapp at bedtime to get the snot under control and thankfully it’s working. We’ve also put the space heater back in their room since they kick off their blankets. John is convinced they got it in nursery in Tuesday. I think I’m probably in denial but I think they might have got it from us - I never mentioned I got a cold in Vegas.
Not much exciting to report. Friday was a really long day. John needed the car so I was carless and it rained all day so we were stuck inside. It was also Poker night so John was home for 15 minutes before he left for the night. I worked a 12 hour solo shift trapped in the house that day and I was in bed sleeping by 10pm. The girls can be exhausting. The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxing. We did some shopping and relaxed.
One time when we were at Bronte this summer I saw the perfect wagon for the girls. We decided that’s what we would get them for Christmas this year. We take the girls for walks every night and we use the carriers but as they near 20lbs it’s getting hard on our backs so yesterday we bought the wagon. They absolutely love it. It has seatbelts so they are secure and they laughed and played the whole way.
They have also started to be obsessed with pictures - especially of themselves. We hung two pictures my parents gave us of the girls and all day they would stop in front of them, point up and say baby. I showed them a picture of both of them tonight and they both picked out themselves as baby and the other by name. They also like the pictures on the fridge of all their baby friends.
That’s it for now. I have no pictures. I keep on meaning to take some and then I get sidetracked. I will definitely take one of them in their wagon because it is so cute.
