week ending apr 12, 2009:






















Week ending April 12, 2009: This was a big week, Easter party at school, gastroenterologist visit for Chloe, visit to the zoo, an Easter egg hunt.
This week Chloe was talking about parachuting, I think she’d seen it on TV or a movie. I asked her if she knew that her mommy and daddy had done it before. She hadn’t remembered that, but then she asked if she was old enough to parachute. Really?! What 5 year old wants to jump out of airplane? Apparently mine does.
I got to go to the kids’ Easter party at school. The kids were really looking forward to it and they weren’t disappointed. They decorated bags for collecting eggs, dyed hard boiled eggs, had an egg hunt, and then had cupcakes for a snack! At one point Chloe’s teacher called to the other teacher across the room “could you please get the E-G-G-S out of my truck?” and Chloe piped up “I’m learning how to spell and I know that spells ‘jelly beans’!” Very cute!
At Chloe’s gastroenterologist visit we discussed how I’ve been having trouble getting Chloe’s Nexium and that every time I change Chloe’s medicine Chloe seems to spend a whole day throwing up. We finally got a 3 month supply of Nexium on March 26, so I thought Chloe would have started getting better, but instead she had another day of vomiting followed by picky eating and frequent complaints of abdominal pain. The doctor said to increase Chloe’s dose up to the maximum and suspected that would make her better. The doctor was concerned that Chloe has lost a pound and asked that we schedule an appointment for 6-8 weeks from now.
At the church Easter egg hunt it was raining, so they hid the eggs inside the classrooms. The kids had a great time and each brought home 30 or more eggs. What are we going to do with all that candy?
