Kids of EB

[Dexman PE PMP]

Yeah, having two kids rampaging through the neighborhood is alot of fun. The one thing that makes it even more enjoyable is when you live in a neighborhood with so many kids and active parents. With so many people outside last night, we might as well had a block party.

Wow! Minisnick is basically a self proclaimed vegitarian, it is very difficult to get him to eat meat. Or when he does it is usually not in large amounts. So when he chowed down on the pork loin last night and asked for more twice I was pleasantly surprised. I marineated it with a ginger/garlic recipe I got at the store...it was meant for chicken but since pork is the other white meat I figured why not give it a try. It was GOOD.

Aww I LOVE that there's a thread like this! Mini Zaltz is 20 months old, Baby Zaltz is 2 months old. Both girls. We were worried Mini Zaltz might not take to Baby, but she's been a very caring and considerate big sister. Hope their relationship only gets better with time!

My sister and I are 18 months apart. It should be fine.

So mini-MS had a TERRIBLE night last night. We had prepped the day so that he would take a late nap and we could keep him up long enough that all three of us could go to our friend's house for TG dinner / party. They always do it the night before so everyone can join. We woke him up from his nap around 4:30 and he decided it was time to unload. The only problem is that he *couldn't* unload. hmy:

He was uber blocked and in tremendous pain. Loooooooong story short - pain, no dinner / party, miracle, golf ball, warm bath, golf ball. Harder than diamond, I tell ya.

Poor mini-MS! What was the miracle that helped him poop?

Whenever minisnick sees a picture of santa or a santa hat he will point at it and say Ho Ho Ho. It's so cute! We went for a Santa visit yesterday, he was so excited when he saw him while we stood in line. all waves and a bunch of ho ho ho's. Then he got all shy when it was his turn, but he was more interested in pointing out the snowman decorations to Santa then anything else. tapped him on the arm and pointed to the giant snowman, and tapped his arm again when he didn't see him looking.

Just be careful if he sees a woman wearing a Santa hat...

Mini-buff has strep throat. She was wimpering all day yesterday. She's only had two doses of antibiotics, and is already feeling better. Thank the Lord!

Wish I knew. After an hour of being barricaded, I went to CVS to get some antiblockage aids. When I got back, Mrs. MS said a little had passed. We thought he was done so I gave him a bath. Well, turns out warm water will loosen up a blocked child VERY well.

Taking the 10 yo to the dentist today. He's going to need another extraction. His baby teeth just aren't falling out...when his lower front adult teeth came in they came in behind the baby teeth like shark teeth and they all had to be pulled...l'm blaming mr. etex.

yeah...the denstist told my mom that was happening to my two front teeth so she let them pull the pair...i didn't get my two front teeth for nearly 2 yrs after the baby teeth were pulled.

My upper right bicuspid had to be pulled. I can remember it like it was yesterday. I don't recall any pain, but with the way the dentist was bracing himself during the process must have made it painful had it not been for the pain meds. The crunching sounds were the absolute worst.

^^^same exact picture yesterday but with a molar

Took back a toy minisnick already had and got him Fisher price 1,2,3 inline skates...day one in less than 30 minutes, probably closer to 15 we went from step 1 to step 2. Basically from wheels locked so he could only walk to forward only movement. He is cruising around the kitchen in quosi walking/skating fashion its a sight to see. Every day so far he wants to put them on and skate...I knew he saw the kids at daycare using the skates but I didn't realize he actually knew how to skate for the most part. By the time spring comes along and he can use them outside he should be good to go without too many falls.

My motives for the skates are actually rather selfish on my part. I want an ice skating buddy in the near future. The sooner I get him used to inline skates the sooner I can get him on the ice rink. They don't have the ice sleds at the rink so I have to wait until he is bigger. Mr snick HATES ice skating, he refuses to get on the ice ever again.

You should introduce him to hockey once his skating is decent.

T-minus 3'ish weeks until mini-MS #2 enters the world. :beat:

 

[snickerd3]

Took our two to "play hockey" downtown the other day. Cincinnati has an ice rink downtown every winter and we were down there with the boys one day during the week. We had taken Emmett to his first hockey game a few days before and bought him a puck while we were there and he wouldn't stop talking about it so we got him some little (street) hockey sticks at the store the next day. The boys just had to take their hockey stuff with them and since it was a weekday the rink was empty. Neither one of them knows how to skate but they had a ball smacking the puck around. It was around lunchtime so they actually had quite an audience who were very entertained while they were playing.

Yep that is the plan. He has been to at least 1 NHL game a year since he was 3 months old. Usually a Blackhawks/blues game in STL since we are closer to there than the United Center.
