Argh. Where to start. Here’s a down and dirty recap of our last few weeks. Starting with this past weekend.
We’re sick! Well, Noomi and Ajax are sick and Dave and I are still on our feet but fighting off the sniffles. It’s too early in the season for such nonsense. But there Ajax slept on the couch for the most of the day wrapped up in blankets and eating Popsicles. To compound our day, I had a doctor’s appointment in Livonia this morning, then on the way home I stopped in Howell and picked up a winter coat for Ajax, hats/gloves, and other misc. winter accessories (usually the first snow hits and I then I squish Ajax into his last years winter coat and then scramble to the store to buy whatever they have). I’m now officially ahead. When I got home Dave headed to his doctor’s appointment and then when he got home I took Ajax to the ENT to check his tubes. They did a hearing test and his hearing is just fine. Both tubes are still in place, but the doctor said he would be shocked if they were still in at his next appointment. The doctor didn’t know if Ajax would need a second round of tubes or not. He said that 80% of kids do just fine with one set. So we’re hoping this is it.
To back up a bit more. Last weekend Ajax headed up north for the weekend with grandma Dara and papa. He came home saying how nice their new dog, Moba, was. I kept asking him, Moba? Yes, he replied, Mobaa! Dave informed me the dog’s name was – Mabel.
Backing up a bit more. At 14.5 months Ms. Noomi is FINALLY WALKING! Hoorah! She is now walking and toddling all over the place and it is so darn cute. She is also sleeping better, which is wonderful. She still isn’t talking a ton, but understands a lot. She’s interested in body parts currently and today we worked on – eyes, nose and mouth. Again, pretty cute.
On a side note. I do believe that Noomi is our adventurous child and therefore more accident prone. I was prepping lunch and told her to go get her chair. So she ran over and grabbed one of the empty dining room chairs. She then tipped back and brought the chair right down on top of her, giving herself a fat lip. Poor baby. Ajax never did that.
