another week

Another week has come and gone. It was a long week! All three kids had colds, and Nikki ended up having croupe, which really scared us. Steve ended up taking Nikki to the ER on Sunday around 11 because she was having trouble breathing. She was wheezing so much, and couldn't stop coughing. He ended up being there till 430, by that point she was breathing fine, and had watched a million episodes of Dora on his phone. He ended up sleeping two hours, then bringing her to the pediatrician on Monday morning, and they decided not to give her anything. It took a few days, but all three kids are on the mend, and finally sleeping through the night again. The past 2 nights it been very very nice not to wake up several times.

Nikki still has trouble with meals, but maybe thing are getting better. If we ignre the tantrums, sometimes she'll go back to eating on her own. I've started documenting how long it takes her to calm down, just so I can feel better if it does start to get shorter. One night (she was VERY tired) it took a half hr, the next night 1hr 34 minutes... and the third was 1hr 13 minutes. It would be nice if every night could be less then a half hr. We'll get there, some day.

Monday is going to be an exciting day, Nikki starts going to school full day! I love her day care but I'm very excited for her to get a lot more speech and educational support, and the majority of her day will be spent in one room, with one set of expectations. I'm very excited! Nikki is starting to talk in full sentences here and there, and I can't wait for her to really start catching up with her peers!
