Sickness Sweeps the Boone Household

-
Wednesday night right before bed my stomach started to feel queezy but I just chugged some water and headed to bed.  At midnight, Carter came crawling into our bed.  I laid him down next to us and he sat up and started puking like a fountain onto our sheets.  I quickly grabbed him and we headed to the bathtub where he continued to puke.  The craziness was that I started to feel sick at the same time and we puked together into a bucket.  We were a hot mess.  He was steaming hot and refused to take any medicine. When we woke up the next morning we were so sick.  I wanted to cry when Bob headed into work.  We spent most of the day on the couch cuddling.  Katie, bob's sister, came over to drop off Gatorade and popsicles at her lunch break.  As she was leaving Landon threw up on her.   Bob came home early and took care of us.  On Friday Carter got sick again and was running a low grade fever but Landon seemed to be doing well.  Friday night Carter woke up so cranky in the middle of the night.  He was crying for an hour straight...not wimpering I mean straight wailing. Bob took him for a while and we could hear him screaming through the vents so I went back downstairs and he fell asleep within 30 minutes.  A few hours later Bob woke up sick.  He caught the flu bug and spent Saturday on the couch.  Perfect day for to be a couch potato because of all the college football.  I spent the day cleaning and lysoling everything that we had come into contact with.  Today, being Monday, the boys are still back to themselves.  Each morning they are waking up with crusty eyes, and just cranky and whiny all day.  My stomach is still a little funky and I am ready to feel back to normal.

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat! There is just something so cute about seein

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home for Florida to se

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited about this and often begs Landon to go potty so he
