Week ending July 26, 2009: This week we started shopping for school supplies. The Kindergarteners start with a half-full class on alternating days starting August 26 or 27. We’ve only got a month of summer left! Alex picked out a Star Wars back pack and Chloe got one that is bright purple with a sunburst of different flower patterns across the back. They like their new thermoses and we’ve used them a couple times to keep them (the children, not the thermoses) excited.
We had another follow up with Chloe’s gastroenterologist. Chloe’s still getting better, but is not 100% there yet. The carafate is making her constipated so we are adding yet another medicine, this one to soften her stool. I always try to take the kids someplace fun around Baltimore on the day of her appointments because we always end up waiting an hour and getting bad news. This time we went to Port Discovery. The kids had a great time and were very brave about the 3 story tall “indoor playground” climbing structure some of which was made of hanging net material that you could feel stretching under your weight. It made me want to get out of there as fast as possible, but didn’t phase the kids. Chloe did get scared when she tried to go in the pitch dark tunnel that had different textures and sounds inside. After we left it was all she could talk about “Mom, that tunnel was SCARY!”
The kids had another sleep over. If you’ll remember, the last time we wanted them to sleep over with their grandparents Chloe complained about it for days before the event, saying that she was worried about being without me. This time she said “Mom, when are we going to have a sleep over?” I explained that I needed her to sleep over without me on Sunday and she said “ok”. Boy that was a short-lived phase!
