Katie vs the Stairs

So tonight I thought I’d let Katie go up the stairs and record her. I was SURE she’d fly right up them like Owen did when first given the chance. I mean, every time she even SEES a gate open, she’s off like a shot.

So, here’s what happened.

Okay, let’s try this again. Stairs take 2.

FAIL. Take 3.

LOL! You know if I turned my back on her during the day when the gate happened to be open, she’d be up them in a hot second.

Take 4. Seriously, this is your last shot girlfriend.

Oh for heavens sake. 🙂

Katie vs the Ottoman

She climbed up me to get onto the ottoman. And then takes a nosedive trying to get at my camera. But this video is proof that even though I’m trying to get the shot, I still have cat-like reflexes and I will put the phone down when necessary. 🙂

Wavy Tube Man Ice Cream

After driving by Wavy Tube Man (at the local ice cream place) many, many times, Owen finally got to stop and meet him. Of course, he’s loud…so this was as close as he got. 🙂

Then he had some ice cream.

And Katie loved Tom’s shake.

She LOVES ice cream! (And she ate rolls, green beans, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, and roasted chicken for dinner so she deserves a little treat!)

And the poster I created on my phone just playing around:

Typical Owen Meltdown

This is your average Owen meltdown. Typically post-nap but really it could happen any time.

In this video, he’s 1) mainly missing his daddy, talking about missing me (because I had been gone for an hour to get my X-ray), and 3) upset that he threw his chicken away. (He said he didn’t want it anymore so I told him to throw it in the garbage—which he did. Then he apparently started having second thoughts after I told him daddy was going to take the garbage out when he got home.) The very first thing in the video is him asking “What was that?” because the stinker heard the ding of me hitting Record on my phone.

Enjoy!

Chest X-ray

So since I’m still kinda half coughing and wheezing, the doctor put me on Allegra (in case it’s allergies) and ordered a chest X-ray just in case anything weird is going on that she can’t tell.

It was a bit of a pain, though, because I couldn’t have the kids with me (ugh) so the first trip was wasted and I spent the afternoon trying to figure out childcare for a 10-minute process. (Our regular sitter ended up watching them after school for an hour while I ran back into town.)

UPDATE: The results show a perfectly clear chest so nothing strange…
