In case you ever wondered what a day in our house is like, I thought I would edit and share part of an email from my hubby about the fun he had this morning with just one of our children.
Natalia started her morning by waking up screaming while Jeff was in the shower. Then she wouldn't eat anything; she just wanted to crawl around and moan. We still have a VCR/DVD player we use for old videos, and Natalia then managed to crawl over to it and get her hand stuck in the VHS tape slot. They finally made it to preschool around 9:00 a.m., and Natalia freaked out because Jeff took her in without taking her out of her carseat. She was so traumatized, she cried all the way home, and preschool is at least 20 minutes away in traffic. Exhausted, Natalia chugged 6 ounces of breastmilk when they got home. She then proceeded to crawl into the toy room where she started eating Leon and Michael's toys. Leon has a large collection of empty food boxes (cereal, granola bar, pasta, etc.) that he uses when he is "cooking." During Sesame Street (on at 10:00 a.m.), Leon had all his cardboard boxes in the living room. Having lost her toy eating privileges, Natalia chewed a cardboard box and got a piece of cardboard stuck in her throat and started dry heaving. Thanks to Elementary Ed. classes in college, Jeff knew to give her some back body blows (baby Heimlich), followed by a finger sweep, and she puked it out. After that, she passed out in her crib. Most likely, right before they needed to leave again to pick up Ree at preschool.
