So, you can see Landon's eyes are better but the rest of him isn't. We all have adenovirus now except for Rileigh and I hope we can keep it away from her. Rob's pink eye started today and thankfully, I don't have it but then I wash my hands constantly, Rob not so much. Therefore....
We are putting Mary Kay Night Cream on our sore noses and it's really helping. I finally broke down last night after changing my clothes twice for soaking them with sweat & took some medicine. I was worried that Rileigh would get too much in my breastmilk but something had to give. I couldn't sleep, my throat hurt, my body just ached to touch it, & my nose was so plugged up I couldn't blow it. I took it at 3:44 & then again at 9 this morning and I feel a lot better. Landon did play outside for about 20 minutes in the bit of snow we got last night. We didn't want him out there to long but try to keep a wild man out of the wild & he gets a little wild!
Poor Landon has pink eye. We called the doctor last night and he called in a prescription for some eye drops. We got started on them last night and while the goo is better today it still has a long way to go. I started him on some cold meds too for his runny nose. It's a constant run which he wipes on everything. We'll be lucky if we don't all end up with pink eye. I'm constantly wiping his nose, it's all red and irritated. I wish I could take his pink eye and make him better. His beautiful, long eyelashes are all stuck together no matter how many times we warm compress his eyes. The eye drops burn a bit so he fights us on them and cries which I'm sure waters them right back out of his eyes. We do 2 drops every two hours. Needless to say he won't be going to school this week.
So, last fall I decided to enroll Landon in day care two days a week from Feb. until the end of my school. I think he needs the socialization with others kids and adults. He is slightly behind in the enunciation of his words and potty training. I really think this will help him. Today was his first day. I dropped him off a little after 8am and picked him up at 11:45 since we had yet another snow day (ridiculous, really, the snow is melting but it's the south so...). He was screaming when I left and laying down for naptime when I came back. The teachers said he was so nice and sweet. He did two projects, danced during movement and music time, painted, ate his lunch and went right down on his mat. He hugged both of his teachers bye bye when we left. He seemed to have had a really good time. He may cry next week at first but I now know he'll be just fine.I have a picture to post but haven't downloaded it yet. Yesterday I threw Landon's clothes over the balcony and a box of Kleenex for me to take to school (I have a cold). I went back into Rileigh's room to get something and when I came back down he had emptied the entire box onto the couch. I started to yell at him and his little face started to crinkle up so I decided what was the big deal, it was just a box of Kleenex. So I picked up a handful and threw them at him, he uncrinkled his face, laughed, and threw them back. We had a Kleenex battle. He played with those Kleenex and one of his cranes for over 30 minutes! Silly boy!
Today, after day care, he spent some time with Nana while Rileigh and I made a trip to see Grandad. He didn't go down for a nap so he was tired. We got home about 4:45 and he was asleep in the car. I brought him in and put him in his bed and he's been there ever since! He's one tired little boy.
