Low Key

These last few weeks have been pretty low key.  We have just been doing the normal things and getting out here and there.  This is my favorite time of the day.  When Caitlyn is home from school and we all get in our pajamas and I know we don't have to go anywhere the rest of the night!  The kids always have fun playing together after school. 

Jonah was excited that he and Wyatt have matching pajamas.  Wyatt and Jonah play pretty well together most of the time. Jonah is actually really good with him.  He gets a little rough sometimes, but he really is a sweet older brother.  Yesterday Caitlyn came home from school in tears because some boy told her that she had a weird smile.  I was talking to her about it and Jonah said, "Mom, should I beat that boy up?"  I love that he wants to stick up for her.  I did not love when Jonah called 911 yesterday.  I put the kids to bed and got in the shower.  When I got out the phone was ringing and they said that they had a hang up call to 911 from this number.  Jonah owned up to it.  Later that night at about 10:20 PM (about three hours after the call), I had just fallen asleep when I heard someone ring the door bell and then pound on the door.  I was terrified.  I looked out the window and saw a cop car so I decided to open the door.  The cop said they had to respond to 911 calls "in case someone was holding a gun to my head."  Very nice, but I'm pretty sure that I would be dead in those three hours.  If I would have been thinking more clearly I would have gone and woke Jonah up and had him apologize to the cop for calling 911, but I was not thinking clearly at the time.

Wyatt had a bit of a rough weekend.  He was acting fine until about half way through Jonah's basketball game on Saturday when he threw up all over the place.  I hate that feeling when you don't even know what to do or where to start cleaning up.  We were in the gym so Keith went and told the front desk.  They sent someone to clean it up.  I felt so bad for her, I offered to clean it up, but she said it was fine she would take care of it.  I was secretly thrilled that I didn't have to clean it up and that it wasn't on my carpet!  He ended up throwing up a few more times that day.  Poor kid.  He never acted like he felt terrible, but his stomach has definitely been having problems. 

Catilyn lost another tooth this week.  She is always excited to sign the lost tooth club at school.  Catilyn has never been much of a morning person.  Some mornings are really bad.  I might have discovered a trick though.  Yesterday I felt sick in the morning after a horrible nights sleep.  I went and laid in Caitlyn's bed with her and told her she should just stay home from school so I didn't have to take her.  She shot right up and told me there was nothing wrong with her so she could not stay home from school and I needed to get up so we weren't late for school.  It was pretty funny.  Keith tried the same thing this morning and it worked again.  Whatever works, right?
