OH THE EARS......

So, we were under the impression that after Trey got tubes in his ears that we would be "foot loose and fancy free!" Yea, not so much. He has ANOTHER blockage in his left ear!!!!! This is the 2nd time. I can not believe it. So we have to do the peroxide/water drops for 7 days and then the Ciprodex drops for 7 more days. And of course ANOTHER doctor visit after all that! The BEST PART is, if it doesn't clear out.... he gets a new tube!!! WOOOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Surgery AGAIN!! Oh well, everyone does not always have the same experiences as others.

On a more fun note, Trey has a new thing where he has to have his PapPap, Blankie AND a sippy of water in bed. I guess I kinda get it. His throat gets dry from breathing through his mouth cause of the nose stoppage. So the past 4 nights he has gotten up and asked for drink. Tonight I am jumping ahead of the game and sending it with him!!!!

He is growing up so much and is really talking and MIMIKING EVERYTHING!!!!! I bit my tongue the other day at lunch, said "ow" and smacked the table. He then smacked the table over and over shouting "ow". Toooooo funny!!! So if you are around my boy, please be very careful what you say and do! I can only imagine what he will be pick up :)

Small Update

We have been battling the night time sleep stealer! For some very strange reason, Trey has not been able to sleep through the night for a couple of weeks. He wakes up, comes to our bed and wants to sleep with us. When we take him back to his bed he screams and has an outright tantrum! AUGH!!! I feel so sleep deprived and so does Jerry! Hopefully the ONLY reason he is doing this is that he has a yucky nose. I know how hard it is to breath and how miserable it is to sleep when you can't breath right. Hopefully after he is over this cold, he will go back to his regular sleep schedule... down at 8 up at 7. I can handle that!

School is going well for both of us as is Jerry's job. Trey is picking up new words every day and his 2 favorite things are trucks, mostly fire trucks, and Elmo. He is just too cut how he can spot Elmo from a mile away! And the really cute part is that he says it Male-mo hehehehehe. He is just too cute! There is a fire house that we pass on the way to school in the mornings and he says die-ya-duck ever time we get close to it! I could just eat him alive!!!!!!!!!

This is the short story of our lives for now! What a good life it is!

Mom's and poop

I know you other moms get it when I say, poop can really make you stress out!

Trey has been having some poop issues and we had to get some tested. Anywho, the tests came back normal and he has no parasites. However, he still may have an allergy issue.

We re waiting to see what the Dr. wants to do about that. He will probably have to have an allergy test in the future. Yet another test.... great!

I never thought I would see the day when I would spend long times discussing colors and textures of poop, but all us moms do it! It's part of the job!! :)

Are There Any Words

As I am sure you all have been here before, we go through times that life just doesn't seem to be able to get any better!!! I am feeling like I am at one of those times right now!!!

Most of you know that I will be going to Florence next week to spend the night with my niece and 2 nephews while Crys & Tim (sis & bro-in-laws) go out on a very exciting cruise for 2!!! WOO HOO!!! I am so excited about the fun that I KNOW we are gonna have!!

The end of February, Sheila will be coming down south and we get to see her! She is doing a dog competition and they are always so much fun! And as ya know, Trey loves some dogs, especially Rootie!

Then in March I will be joining my mom-in-law and 2 sis-in-laws on a GIRLS ONLY WEEKEND TO NYC!!!! Yep that's right! 4 wild and crazy Rhodes girls hittin' the streets of New York City!!!!!! Watch out Big Apple! We are so stinking excited you can't shut us up about it!!!! (but honestly, can you blame us??)

And on top of all of that, my family is healthy, we have jobs, a home, a good God and lots of love!
Are there any word to express my life? .......blessed
