July 25, 2007

This morning, the boys learned how to climb the ladder and go down the slide by themselves, with close supervision from mom. It was very cute. They were so excited!

When we were outside playing on Sunday evening, Nick was bitten by a mosquito near the edge of his eye brow and the outer edge of his eye. Monday it looked fine. Yesterday he woke up with a very swollen, red eye lid. It was pretty nasty looking. Doctor dad said it had gotten infected so now Nick is taking an antibiotic. It looked a little better this morning but is still swollen and red. When they played outside in their wading pool yesterday evening, we lit one of those candles that keeps the mosquitoes away. I didn't see any new bites on Nick today, yea!

Sorry to hear about your sciatica. I hope you're not on the same timeline I was on - I popped a disk about six months after we brought our two home (hint: don't try to lift the two of them off the ground together when they are lying on the sidewalk, refusing to leave the library!). I got better, but then six months later, it came back with a vengenance, I spent three months flat on my back and then had back surgery. So - do those exercises!

The exercises are pretty boring, I motivate myself to do them by listening to my two favorite radio shows while I'm doing them. (I'd never get to listen to them otherwise.)
