PB&J Day!

We are still continuing the potty training process   It is going much better this time around.  Peyton is having a lot more successes than she was a couple of months ago, which has made it a lot less frustrating for both of us. 

I ended up taking Lily to the doctor’s on Monday.  She had gotten a cold from Peyton last Thursday.  Sunday night, Lily had a really hard time sleeping because she kept coughing and she was really congested.  She was extremely cranky yesterday, especially in the waiting room   She wouldn’t stop crying, so the one receptionist went back to see if we could get right in…and we did   Once we got into the room, she was fine.  It turns out she has a double ear infection in her right ear.  The doctor asked me when she had had her last ear infection.  I looked at him and said that Lily has never had one and Peyton had never had one either.  He didn’t believe me!  I grabbed her charts and looked at them and said “You’re right”…”let me check her ears again”.  We both had a good laugh over it.  He put her on an antibiotic to take care of it.  Hopefully, her appetite will come back soon.  She hasn’t been interested in eating since Monday, only nursing. 

Peyton was able to give the doctor her thank you card that she made for him last week.  She painted a picture for him, and I gave him a picture of her wearing her “doctor hat” that is here on the blog   She was really excited about giving it to him.  He seemed happy about getting it   Hopefully it brightened his day a little, I know they have been really busy…tis the season.

I’m going to ask that you keep us in your prayers for the next couple of weeks.  Corning Inc.  is going to go through another round of layoffs here this month.  We aren’t sure if Josh’s job is secure.  So…who knows what will happen…  For some reason, I’m not concerned about it.  I know God has a plan for us and He will provide for us.  Maybe this will be our cue to move

This week, we are focusing on baking!  How fun is that?  Yesterday, we made chocolate chip muffins…which Peyton kept stealing when I wasn’t looking…good thing we only made 6.  Here are a couple of pictures of Peyton making them.  Notice the cute baker’s hat we made and how big Peyton’s flowers are getting (they in the bottom right of the pictures) 

Today, we will be making zee muffins

Combine everything into the bowl, and mix!

I think that just about sums up everything that we’ve been up to this past week…  I’ve cut my tutoring hours back.  Now, I am just tutoring 7-9pm Monday through Thursday.  It was getting to be too much for me.  I’ve been enjoying the hour reduction quite a bit.  Now, I am able to work a little and to also spend some time with Josh at night.

Oh, I almost forgot the most important part…today is PB&J day in Georgia!!!  Woohoo!!!  It’s time to revert back to your childhood and break out the peanut butter and grape (yes, I said grape…who doesn’t like grape) jelly, slab them on the bread…don’t forget to cut off the crusts   Enjoy!
