It Has Been a Crazy and Hectic Week ...

Things have been a bit hectic around our house this week. Ryland has been fighting an ear infection for the past few days. He had a slight fever over the weekend but it finally went back down to normal. The good news is that we already had the ear infection medicine so no trip to see Dr Loventhal was needed. The tubes are allowing for his ears to drain which is their main purpose so it is good to see that they are still working. I just wish that they would eliminate his ear infections all together. I can not imagine the amount of ear infections that he would have had if he did not have tubes. I have this feeling that after these tubes fall out we will have to go back for round #2. Ear tubes typically stay in for 10-14 months before they fall out on their own. So that means that Ryland's might fall out this summer. We will have to wait and see what happens.

When we went to pick up Ryland from school on Monday we found out that he took his nap on a mat (and not in his crib)!! They said that he did great and one of the teachers sat with him on the floor and rubbed his back until he fell asleep. What a big boy!! So no more nap time in a crib for him at school. We knew that this transition would be coming at some point but it is crazy how fast it all happens.

I had to travel for work on Tuesday so I left the house at 6am to head to Charlotte for the day. Tab also had to leave for Columbia on Tuesday so my mom came out to Vinings and picked up Ryland from school and kept him that night. I got home from Charlotte late that night and Tab is coming home from Columbia tonight. Last night Ryland and I had a fun mommy/son night. We split Chick-fil-A nuggets for dinner and then played outside and around the house before bedtime. He woke up happy as can be this morning and we ate breakfast together before I took him to school.

Kari, Lindy and I are all hosting Julie's baby shower at our house this weekend. We have been doing stuff around the house to get it ready to have everyone over. I think we have 500 sweet gum balls drop in our front yard every day! So Tab is going to have the fun job of getting rid of all of those little annoying things before the shower starts on Saturday :)
