Saturday Soup

Holy ear infection Batman! Both boys have now been diagnosed with ear infections. While Jack handled his medicine great, Sam REFUSED to take it. Picture this: Two grown ups v. one 3 year old - one grown up is sitting on top of the 3 year old and holding down his arms and his head, the other is trying to pry his mouth open and pour the medicine down his throat! Just as the grown-ups think they've done it, the 3 year old starts to spit the medicine out, so the grown ups try to force him to swallow, which only makes him throw up!! NICE huh? Well that was the scene at our house for 1 1/2 days. We finally called a doctor and he told us to just mix it in chocolate milk! That's it! After all that effort, we could have just mixed it in milk. You should have seen Sam's face when we told him the doctor said he could drink chocolate milk instead of take medicine - pure RELIEF! Jack has been "leaning" a lot and I can't help but laugh when I see him like this. He can turn around in the saucer, but its like he just knows how much cooler he looks leaning way back

Other than that, both boys have been cooped up with me in the house for the week, and we're all getting sick of it. We did go to storytime at the Waukee Library! Did I ever mention how much I love the Waukee Library. They did Clifford books and made Clifford hats - Sam has been a dog intermittently for the past three days. Thank you Miss Erin for making storytime the BOMB.
