Tomorrow morning I am taking the boys to meet Larry and Reba in Rockwall to spend the weekend there while Todd and I go to Marble Falls for a wedding. I am excited about the time they will get to spend with them, excited about the break I will get but nervous at the same time. They are my babies and I am constantly in control of everything to do with their lives but I will have to let go and know that they are in good hands with lots of loving. I know everyone will be ok in the end and I will be happy to see them Sunday evening.
Packing for these munchkins has been a chore! I have packed everything from meds to clothes to their silverware for eating!! I have even typed up a list of info for Larry and Reba to reference if needed:

Fun at Nana and Gaga’s
Here is a list of
meds you may or may not need and their dosage.
Austin:
- Ibuprofen-3/4
tsp every 6 hrs
- Ciprodex
(ear infection meds)-3 drops in infected ear 2x day
- Children’s
Allergy Relief-3/4 tsp 1x day at night
- Delsym-1/2
tsp before bed only if coughing
- Inhaler-1
tube = 1 6-10 min treatment every 6 hrs as needed for wheezing
- Infants
gas relief-0.6 mL as needed for tummy ache
Go ahead and give the allergy and Ibuprofen every night. I
have been doing this lately and it seems to help with both his allergies and
his 2 yr molars coming in!!
Parker:
- Infants
gas relief-0.6 mL as needed for tummy ache
- Children’s
Allergy Relief- 1 tsp 1x a day at night
- Delsym-3/4
tsp before bed only if coughing
- Advil-1
tsp every 6 hrs
Thermometer-1 push turns it on, then press to middle of
forehead and hold down button while scanning down to ear and then release
Here’s some tips on
feeding the boys.
Austin:
- Possible
food allergy to fresh kiwi, kiwi that may be in a juice box is ok.
- Loves
eggs but you want to give infants gas relief after and as needed the rest
of the day because it does give him a bad tummy ache without it.
- Some
of his favorites…hot dogs, cubed cheese, yogurt, blackberries,
strawberries, bananas, yogurt raisins, dried fruit, mandarin oranges, dry
cereal and cereal with milk, applesauce
- Small
green sippy is what he prefers his milk out of while the other one we use
for water
- Some
of his dislikes…deli meat, not crazy about PB & J lately
Parker:
- Some
of his favorites…sandwich consisting of bread, mustard and cheddar cheese
only (Although he may tell you he likes turkey he won’t eat it!), dry
cereal and cereal with milk, yogurt, cinnamon bread, yogurt raisins,
applesauce
- Blue
sippy is what he likes his milk out of while the other cup is for water
- Some
of his dislikes…eggs, hot dogs, mac n cheese, pizza, anything with melted
cheese on it!, deli meat
I hope they prove me wrong and eat everything you put in
front of them and more!!
So you have an idea
about our days…
They usually wake up around 6:30 – 7:30 and want their milk
first thing although Parker sometimes may tell you its too cold and I let it
sit for awhile before he drinks it. Only Parker gets a vitamin (in a baggie) in
the morning. Sometimes Austin
asks for a yogurt first thing also but he clearly can tell you what he wants!!
I usually put them down for a nap after lunch. Austin will most
certainly need a nap but Parker has been trying to fight his but needs it
usually. They nap anywhere between 1 ½ -3 ½ hrs depending on how much you wear
them out! Parker needs a diaper at nap. One of the polka dot diapers is fine.
After nap they sometimes ask for milk also.
At bath time and any other time there is water, Austin needs ear plugs in
both ears. They are very easy to press in and he usually will keep them in. The
same pair can be reused. At bedtime, Parker loves a book or 2 or 3 read to him
and both like you to pray at bed time. Both have a night time diaper they wear.
Austin’s is
Winnie The Pooh and Parker’s are white with a bear on them. I wouldn’t put
Parker’s diaper on him until he has used the restroom and you are putting him
in bed because he gets lazy and will pee in it rather than using the potty!
Parker likes to sleep with his Cat In the Hat and Austin his dog-dog. Both can
have more milk at bed time.
Do what ever works for yall. I just wanted to give you an
idea of what we do in case they are trying to tell you something and you don’t
quite understand them. I don’t care if they have juice but be prepared for Parker
to either go to the bathroom a lot after or wet his pants, that’s why we
usually only do them for special things!! They will definitely drink them if
you have them though.
TV: They like
Nick Jr, Sprout, KERA and Disney Jr but I don’t let them watch all the
shows…their favorites are Mickey Mouse, Jake and The Neverland Pirates, Bubble
Guppies, Dora, Umizoomi, Cat In the Hat…you can always ask Parker if he likes
and it and he will tell you. The one show they can not watch is Spongebob. If
all else fails, I will send some movies for them!!
Dog-dog and Cat I try and keep inside especially dog-dog
because of Austin’s
allergies.
