Day 2 And all is well

It's quiet now. I have 3 boys asleep in bed......I think I made it through one more day. Today was a good day. Isaac just wet the bed a tiny bit. I had to wash his sheet but not the mattress cover. Mark was soggy but not an explosion so all was well.

We enjoyed sausage, scrambled eggs and toast with jam on it. And grandma got her morning pills before 2:30 today. That's a plus. And in the whole day I only missed 3 pills, that is better than yesterday.

Isaac and grandma spent a little quiet time together while Mark napped (no grandma did not nap). I did get a bath though.

It seems that we just get done eating and cleaning things up and it is time to eat again. I never eat this much. I'm sure I am losing weight because of all the meals I am cooking and cleaning up.

The boys had a nice long nap this afternoon. Mark woke up before Isaac so Mark and grandma had some quiet time together. These little guys aren't half bad, one at a time. And they really do play well together. Mark even got to play with his new toy because Isaac wasn't there to take it away.

We played outside for a bit this morning. Grandma checked her garden and the beans were so big that she had to pick them today. Isaac like's beans and peas from grandma's garden. Of course Mark eats everything.................
even an ice cream cone.


Isaac likes his ice cream cone too.
All in all it was a good day today and I'm NOT totally exhausted. But this is what happened this morning as I tried to unhook my TPN. I got all my stuff and washed my hands and soon into the procedure, Mark started getting into stuff under the sink. (Yes, the child lock was off. Those things are so frustrating. It takes 3 hands to open them and I don't happen to have 3 hands.) I interrupted my procedure to lock the sink doors. And then washed my hands and went back to the TPN. Not long into it Isaac announces that he has to go potty. I drop everything and go help Isaac. Then it's another hand wash and I was able to complete my normally quick procedure. I know that I was totally blessed to not have to start TPN before my kids were old enough to not cause these kind of problems. I have a problem running extra fluids because it is all I can do packing 2 boys around without extra hardware.
After afternoon naps and the ice cream cones, we got to go outside and ride the bikes. Isaac got a trike when he was here last time and he had fun riding it. Now today he was afraid of the trike. Isaac and Mark worked out the solution; Mark sat on Isaac's trike and Isaac pushed around Mark's toy. You just can't figure kids out.
Tomorrow I will post pictures of the kids on their "bikes". We were skyping mom and dad today and I couldn't help 2 boys, run the camera and take pictures.
I think I'm glad that I am way too old to be having babies. They are for young moms who don't know any better.

Sounds like day 2 went well! Where are mom and dad, by the way? You have never said. How nice to have a break! Sounds like you are warming up to come take care of my kids for me for a few days! :-)

Congratulations! You made it through one more day, and it sounds better than the day before. At this rate, you won't want them to go home to Reno.
