Tuesday

Noah is pretty much back to normal. He took his last dose of antibiotic last night, and hasn't needed cough medicine or breathing treatments for a couple of days. His appetite is back to normal, and he's certainly being a pain just like normal! Unfortunately, the antibiotic has been hard on his stomach, so he's had a little trouble with diarrhea. Yesterday at school he had a little bit of diarrhea, and then he threw up when he was having snack. So they called me to come pick him up, and I kept him home with me today. I don't think he was ill, but I understand their concern so I didn't argue with them about it. The antibiotic gave him some diarrhea, and if you've ever been around Noah...you know he frequently gags when he's eating. Not sure why, maybe the texture of certain foods bothers him. Oh well, we'll see how he does tomorrow.

The good thing is that he was a perfect angel when I dropped him off at school yesterday. He went right in, sat down at a table to color a picture, and didn't cry at all when I left. When I came to pick him up, the secretary said that the teacher didn't think Noah was acting like himself. I sort of laughed to myself, thinking....what do you mean, he was actually behaving?? He has so many different personalities, I'm not sure you could ever tell if he wasn't acting like himself!

The girls are having a good time in their sports camps this week. Kindra has volleyball camp from 10-1130 in the high school gym, and Anna has flag football camp at the same time on the fields behind the high school. So, it's convenient for me to drop them off and pick them up since they are both at the high school. Kindra is really enjoying volleyball. She'd never played before until they learned about it in gym class this last year. She thought it might be something she'd like to play in junior high, and was excited at the opportunity to attend the camp. A couple of her friends are there too, so of course that helps! Of course Anna enjoys flag football camp. It's being taught by the coach and some of the players from the high school football team, which is cool.

Anna did an awesome job at her soccer game last night, she scored 3 of the 4 goals for her team. Last week the coach had her in the goal for the first half of the game. The third quarter she sat out, and then he was going to put her back in the goal for the 4th quarter. Well, I asked him to let her play offense since she'd been in the goal half the game. I felt kind of funny for speaking up about it, after all he's the coach, and the one quarter she sat out as goalie, the other team had scored several times. Well, she went out on offense and got 2 goals....apparently he remembered that she served the team better on offense, because this week he didn't put her in the goal at all!

Not much else going on here. Anna has swim class this evening, Kindra likes to go along and play in the generation center with some of her friends. They have games, a TV, foosball (I don't really know how to spell that), pool table, ping pong, and such in the generation center. Cool place for kids to hang out.

More later,
