Note to self . . .

. . . when putting seventeen month son to bed, try remembering to turn the light off in his room. 2pm. Back from the park. Brought Elijah in from van. Put Elijah down. Back out to the van. Picked up Isaac. He said, "Dirty." So I changed him and then laid him in his bed. Back to the van to retrieve a few other items. Back in the house. Turned on monitors. Elijah is quiet. Isaac sounds wide awake. He sounds confused. Realized I forgot to put his noisemaker on. Walked in the room. The light is on! Geesh. No wonder he's confused. Turned light off and noisemaker on and one little boy went right to sleep.

Ditzy moment #2.

It followed closely on the tail of #1.

I had a crazy day today. Had Elijah's therapy appointment, than an appointment for me, and then wifia lunch after that. Broke my "one outing a day" rule by three! Thing was, I didn't know about the therapy appointment until this morning! I knew he had an appointment this week or next week. I remembered scheduling it. But I couldn't find it in my calendar anywhere. I called yesterday and they didn't return my message. So I called again this morning. "Yes, you have an appointment in TWO HOURS!" Uggghhh . . .

Jodi to the rescue. She was going to babysit both boys for my second appointment and agreed to let Isaac join her at Della's house during Eiljah's appointment. I can bring Isaac to the therapy appointments but since this was (what I hoped) was his last one, I wanted to be able to concentrate, ask a lot of questions, and really be able to focus just on Elijah.

The good news is that it was the last appointment. Elijah's head is fantastic! The therapist said we are done visiting their office. She is recommending that we see a pediatric neurologist since his head is still a bit oddly shaped in the back. It isn't cosmetic as much as it is making sure he stays coordinated and centered as he ages. So we'll probably do that in the next month or so.

In other news, today I am mourning the loss of . . . our cable. We decided nearly one month ago, that the cost of cable did not equal the amount of time we were watching it. So we called and disconnected it. Only it didn't go off. We were hoping they just forgot to turn it off but when we got our bill, it was still on there plus fifteen dollars! What the heck?! JB called, got it worked out, and today it went out, forever. No more TV on good ol' Eglin AFB. I'd say that I'll pick up a hobby during the times I would be watching TV but the thing is, I just don't watch TV anymore. I have a hobby. I have three of them. Their names are Isaac, Elijah, and Scrubby.

Off to retrieve my hobbies from their concluded naps!
