Caroline likes to sit on the bathroom counter in the mornings while Ben gets ready for work. She likes to pretend she is brushing her teeth...a great habit to start now! This morning Ben had his cup of coffee sitting on the counter. Caroline took her toothbrush, dipped it in Ben's coffee, then proceeded to brush her teeth. The taste was shocking to her....although I'm not sure why b/c she drank Ben's coffee last weekend (see earlier post). :)
We have a DVD player in our car for the girls. It was originally going to be for long car rides ONLY, however, we have kept it in the car despite our original intentions. Caroline started getting dizzy and car sick in the car. I think a lot of it has to do with her equilibrium problems that she has had associated with her ears. I noticed that when she would look out of the window, then look back in the car, she would get really dizzy and upset. The DVD player has solved that problem b/c she only looks forward now. I don't always turn it on, but I do use it when I know we will be in the car for a while. I definitely think kids should not be "attached" to tv's, dvd players, etc. In this case, it seems to help Caroline. With all of this said, I have been playing the the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin DVD for the girls. The show came on tv last night, and although Caroline has seen it a million and one times, we let her watch it before bed. I was upstairs with Sarah Anne, Ben was on the computer, and Caroline was sitting like a big girl in her big pink chair watching the Charlie Brown special. After about 10 min, Caroline went to get Ben and kept saying "Daddy fix, Daddy fix". At first Ben didn't realize what she wanted. He went to investigate and found that her Charlie Brown movie had been interrupted by commercials. :) All she knew was that when she watched the movie in the car, there were no commercials, therefore something must be wrong! Ben convinced her the movie was fine and that they were only commercials.:)
Sarah Anne has been having trouble eating and sleeping. She hasn't had a fever, but I am going to take her to the doctor tomorrow (after Caroline's Halloween party at school!)to see if it may be her ears. The girls are going to my parent's house next week (I'm going to do some painting downstairs), and I don't want her to be sick while she is gone. She is sitting up by herself for short periods of time, and she is getting better about pushing up on her arms. She really doesn't like to be on her tummy and always rolls over. Overall she is doing great!
