To begin, I think our little "happy" baby is away at summer camp!!! The last few days around our house have been filled with "screams" from an unhappy baby! Very often throughout the day, Ella will begin crying very loudly for no apparant reason. Well, I am sure there is a reason, but not one I can truly pin point. I go through my entire list of "What ifs..." What if she is hungry? What if she is just tired? What if her tummy hurts? What if she's teething? What if it's her ears? What if she is just a spoiled little girl? What if... Finally, I connected the recent change in behavior to the recent change in her diet- - - the INTRODUCTION to cereal! I decided yesterday NOT to feed it to her again to see if that could possibly be the cause in change of behavior. Don't ask me why I decided to try to help out on the day her daddy was going to have her all day! She had a better day, but when I got home in the afternoon, she had a few episodes! We will see how today goes...
We also found out this week Car has "officially" been diagnosed with having meatal stenosis and is going to have to have surgery next month. I say "officially" because we have known that for a little while, but received an official diagnosis from a urologist on Monday. You know there is a problem when your child has to go to the potty three times within thirty minutes! I am still waiting on a phone call from the doctor for the date of his surgery. It will be very minor. I just worry about him being put to sleep and the recovery!!!
On Wednesday, I had to go to the dentist and have a crown. The procedure took 2 1/2 hours, and for those of you who really know me you know how I feel about dentists!!! I had plenty of "gas", so I was able to remain "GAG FREE" throughout the whole procedure. While he was working on the crown, he found a cavity - - - so that had to be filled too! The greatest part of the whole visit was walking up to the front desk and hearing the receptionist say, "It will be $610.00 today!" Yikes! Just when you thought you had a little money with no summer daycare expenses... After my two and a half hour visit with the dentist, I had my first tutoring session! It was a great experience! I really enjoyed the time I had working one-on-one with one of my former students.
Today should be a pretty "normal" day. (I HOPE!) We are leaving tomorrow for Hilton Head, so I have to run to pick up last minute beach things for my two darlings. I have to begin the "massive" packing for two also. Our entire house will be traveling with us to the beach too. We are also going to go to Charlene's house in the morning for a cookout and swimming! Tomorrow should be an "action packed" day! Hopefully I will have lots of pics to post!
Well, the little "princess" is calling...

Wow! What a week!
Poor Ella...Maybe it is the cereal. That would be an easy thing to fix!
Sorry to hear that about Carson. Tripp had urology surgery last year. It was much worse for me than it was for him! Who is the urologist? Call me and we can talk about it...I'm sure your blog readers aren't interested in the details of little boy urology surgery!!! ;)
Glad you survived the dentist. I know how much you just LOVE it!
Sorry this is soo long!!
Talk to ya soon.

I would LOVE to talk about the surgery!!! Ihave been wanting to call, but don't have your new number!! Try to call me when you get a chance.
Eli has been screaming a lot lately too, so you aren't alone. I think it might be the cereal for us too.
I hate that about Carson! At least you know what the problem is and it can be solved!
Have a great time at the beach! I can't wait to hear all about how you survive with 2. I'm glad you're going first so I can learn from you!!! I know you'll have a great time with your family. :-)
