Well Nicole was up the better part of the night again. We finally discovered she has a double ear infection. I gave her some Tylenol this morning so she was acting ok. Our friend wanted us to come over and we figured whatever Nicole had her kids were exposed anyway. But ear infections aren’t contagious but we weren’t sure what Nicole had. So in the middle of playing Nicole comes up to me crying saying her ear hurt. So off to the Woodbury Clinic we went. Justin is acting like such a big boy, I decided to ask him if he wanted to stay or play with us. He chose to stay. Mind you this was so difficult on me but so good for him. I have never left Justin alone without Nicole or with a friend. I am very proud of him. After the doctor looked in her ears, he said it was a double ear infection, poor thing. She got a lollipop at the end and got a green one for Justin. We went back to Vena’s and Justin was as happy as can be. He was just playing trains. Nicole was feeling a bit better and played for a while. We had lunch and it was nice to just hang out. On our way home we stopped at Target to pick up Nicole’s prescription. The kids for some reason wanted to shop for clothes, so I let them look around. Justin had to go potty and they were cleaning the woman’s bathrooms. So I sent Justin in to the men’s room himself. I can’t believe how grown up he is acting. He was proud to tell me that he used the standing toilet (urinal). These kids are growing up so fast. When we got home the kiddos played Leapsters and watched some TV. The kids have been into watching Clifford lately. Dad came home a little early today. Dad and Justin ended up going out to dinnner together, Nicole just wanted to stay home. So I stayed home and played My Little Pony and pretend birthday party for pooh. We had fun together and it sounds like Justin and daddy had fun too. Justin and dad washed daddy car while Nicole and I read lots of books, snuggled in my bed together. Nicole was pretty tired. I left right before the kiddos went to bed and went to have drinks with some friends. It was so nice, well needed and well deserved. But Bret and I didn’t end up going to bed until way too late. I hope Nicole is back to herself today.
