" It's my turn for school". Look at those happy eyes, she couldn't wait to go.
No problem for her getting on the bus. I am so glad, it would be very tough to have to force her on.
She is sporting some new ear molds just in time for school, (we got them the day before). She chose pink this time and we got a new mold called the skeleton mold. When I was out in Surrey for three days in the summer I noticed a lot of kids having them (molds with "holes" in) so thought we would give them a try this time. It's the last free pair since she turned five and is not covered under the Early Hearing Program anymore.
Waiting for the bus to come...can't believe that seven years ago (6yrs and 7 months) I wasn't even a mom yet. And now three are doing the early morning walk to the bus stop.
waaaa!!
... and this is the
hissyfit the littlest one threw when she was told she was not going to able to go on the big yellow school bus. She asks every day at breakfast if she can go on the school bus....
umm NO I can't "lose" all my children that quickly". I would cry forever...well maybe just a couple weeks who knows a day or two...
So when we got home I gave Danielle a lunch bag to make her feel included, and she was tickled pink. (even put a
nectarine inside). It went with us the whole day...to the Doctor's appointment, to a birthday party, and then to the lab for some blood work. It was REALLY nice doing all that with only her. She is generally a dream to take anyway, but without the other ones, it was all so easy. Everything seems to be going good with the baby, The heartbeat at 142 (average is between 120 and 180) so I can't tell from that if I need to get some pink or blue sleepers yet. The only thing is my iron is really low (92 is the count if that means anything ) my doctor even got his secretary to phone me the following day to remind me to take my iron pills. I thought there was something really wrong as I had come home to a message on the machine to call the doctor's office...always a message that increases heart rhythm slightly, and then she just wanted to remind me to take my pills. Am I getting old or crazy or what, when my Doctor phones to REMIND me...I will make more of an effort to take them very regularly, they just have such nasty side effects and when I mentioned them to the Doctor he said "Well you will probably need a blood transfusion with that number going into surgery...BUT blood transfusions are PRETTY safe nowadays" talk about scare tactic, I didn't even think doctors could do that nowadays. He is a good
Doctor though, so I'll go back.

yup 92 is getting onthe low side!!! Christina don't forget to take your iron pills tomorrow! (-:
ReplyDeleteIrma...you made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the nettle tea? Or the liquid Floradix Iron (they sell it at Pharmasave or any health food store) is good and doesn't have any nasty side effects. :) And if you need an iron frying pan you can borrow mine, you get a lot of good iron from cooking high iron foods in there like tomatoes and beef. How can you tell I had low iron too? haha!
ReplyDeleteChris take your iron pills!! That is low for an active mother that needs her energy! Love Timothy's hair when he was waiting for the bus. And yes Sharleens eyes are so bright...but they always have been. All your children always have had bright eyes, full of life and joy I always have said. :)
