Over 100!
So I have had my bike for 2 weeks and 2 days and I have gone 102 miles! Not bad. I must say that I am quite proud of myself and I feel as though I have found the answer to my stress relief. I am feeling good! It is unfortunate that my house feels the pain of some of my time going elsewhere, although Aaron has been a big help with the dishes! I aim to get 1-2 loads of laundry done a day, but that doesn't quite cut it. I'll get it down one of these days.
Eli will be getting ear tubes on March 8. I am looking forward to the ear pressure being relieved. He just isn't able to drain off that fluid, so this should be a HUGE help.
Hannah's road rash is healing quite nicely. She has a good story to tell her friends at school!
Isaac had major heartbreak this week as he asked his dear friend Ava to marry him and she said no, that she was already going to marry someone else. Isaac was devastated. He held off the tears until she was no longer around. So we talked about it and he decided he still has time. She might change her mind. He has such a soft heart and he adores Ava. He has told me before that it is his job to protect her from danger. This he has done on several occasions, confronting other kids at the playland who were intimidating. They listened and stopped. He really is quite a gentleman!

Road Rash
Hannah made an up close visit with the sidewalk yesterday. She was riding her scooter and bam, hit the sidewalk. She was very brave about it, but she has a nice abrasion and her face. It is swollen and looks horrible, but she is a trooper. We are taking care to keep it very clean and keep her from picking at it. We would like to avoid a scar. I'm sure it will not be the last time this happens! We are very glad she was wearing her helmet or the whole side of her head would be raw and maybe more.
Hannah and Isaac built a nest to sleep in last night. It looks like a huge bird's nest! Blankets are the twigs on the tree and the pillows are suppose to be leaves. The slept there all night last night, cozy and warm. I will have to post some pictures. Very cute!
Eli is on antibiotics for his ear infection and as always, his tummy is not too happy about it. He has, however, told me every time that he has needed to go poopy. He has been able to hold it until we get to the toilet. This is no easy task with such nasty diarrhea. He has also been telling us when he needs to go potty. So I ordered some training pants for him and we will make the switch. He sure seems ready. I'll hold on to the diapers for a little while and he will wear his night time diaper until he is ready to night time train. I see no reason to hold of on the potty training if he is telling me now. Just go with it I guess!
Aaron and I really have fantastic kids. Such fun loving, creative children. I am very proud of all three of them!
I'm looking forward to a great week. I know it has wonderful things in store!

Looks like Tubes
While I didn't get to see our normal Doctor this morning, Eli does have another ear infection, just one ear this time. This is the 4th in 4 months, so I have a follow up next week with our normal Dr. to talk about tubes. Eli's tummy doesn't like antibiotics, it's two weeks of diarrhea for the little guy. I am going to do three doses a day of infant probiotics this time around to see if we can help his system out a little bit.
I did get 30 minutes in last night and 11 miles, so I was feeling good. I'm finding it to be a great stress reliever even when I am tired. And there is a lot of stress that comes along with a sick child.
So hopefully these meds will kick in gear and our little guy will be feeling better before we know it! Isaac was a champ this morning, great listener and good big brother. I do have fantastic kids!

Baby With a Fever
I still call Eli my baby, even though he is a full blown toddler. I just can't quite let go of baby yet! So, my baby has a big 102 fever. Yuck. I'm sure it is an ear infection. I took him in yesterday with a low grade temp. He had fluid in his ears, but not an infection. He is massively teething, molars working their way through. I'm sure that fluid has now turned to infection. He is grumpy, nursing ALL the time, not wanting to sleep, uncomfortable... classic signs of his ear infections. This will be his 4th in as many months. I think I will ask about tubes. This was a long, dreary road with Hannah and I think tubes would have made a huge difference for her. So, in the morning, we will be off to the Dr. again!
A grumpy baby who doesn't want to sleep has kept me from my biking, but being a Mommy comes first. I am going to try and get some time in after I finish this since Eli is actually sleeping at the moment. Ibuprofen took down his fever and we got some ear numbing drops in. We'll see how long it lasts. I'd like to get a good 30 minutes in, but that might be wishful thinking.
