First off, I have to say that I have the best husband in the world!
Today started with little man waking up at 0430 wanting to play. Unfortunately, I am not able to go to bed at 630 like him, so I was still tired. Finally he went back to sleep at 530 (my normal wake up time), and I got to sleep for about 45 more minutes since we had a doctor appt this morning. I got out of bed at 630, got dressed, got him ready, and we headed to the dr's office. He has chronic ear infections, and I am sick and tired of him being on antibiotics all the time. We got a referral to a pediatric ENT to discuss tubes in his ears. On the way to the doc, I forgot that the main road here is closed on post for PT - which is STUPID. I have never seen that before. It took me an hour to get to the dr's office - and I live ON POST! The stroller wheel broke off once I got there, so I had to carry a 22 lb child and 2 bags into the dr's office - which is a walk from the parking lot. Also, I'm in my skirt and heels for work. I was sweating by the time I got in there. I was the first one there, so I did get right in. However, I was sweating like I was in menopause. Bar got to be naked - lucky kid.
Since the stroller was broken, and there is no way I'm carrying that big angel around, we stopped after work and got a new stroller. I thought about getting a double tandum stroller - so that when and if we have another child, it fits both children. However, I decided against it for now and figured I could get it later if need be. The one I decided upon, I really like. It is very light, compact, and easy to manuver. It is kindof a mix between a big stroller and an umbrella stroller. See the pics. It is still sturdy enough to jog with, though. It's called a Lite Sport. I also got a couple pairs of shoes for lil dude at the store. His daycare told me today that he needs to wear closed toe shoes (per state regs) when he starts walking, which will be any day. He is holding onto things and walking now, which is great. I went ahead and grabbed some cute shoes - see the pics. He got a booster seat as well today. He doesn't really like sitting in the high chair any more to eat. He is getting big and feel restricted. I got him a little booster so that he can sit with mom mom and eat. Lastly, I got him a little toy for being such a good boy today. They are plastic shapes that snap and unsnap with eachother. They can be individual or make a long shape worm. They came in a plastic tub so that he can practice putting them in and pulling them out. I've read it's a good skill to teach at this age.
Tonight, I got to talk to my man again on the webcam. It is great! It gets a little frustrating when he gets kicked off or the connection is bad, but we are so fortunate to be able to have that! I get to take him around the house, show him things, show him bar sleeping - it's almost like he's here.
