How to Treat a Severe Diaper Rash
Posted on July 7, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 1 Comment
We`ve been through our share of diaper rashes. Dorian had a nasty one caused by a yeast infection that he picked up at the hospital when he was just a few days old. Unfortunately, since he had a colostomy, it wasn`t on his bottom, it was on his side and his tummy. We had to [...]
Dante´s New Obsession
Posted on June 28, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 2 Comments
Up until very recently, Dante has had no particular interest in life. Dorian was obsessed with cars and anything automotive since he was born, practically, so it always struck us as odd that Dante didn´t seem to fixate on anything in particular.
That has changed.
He very recently discovered soccer and now spends about two or three [...]
Two Kids, Two Wake Up Calls, One Night
Posted on June 25, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 1 Comment
It´s a miracle. Dante not only slept in his crib last night . . . he did it without waking up all night! In fact, he woke up just ONCE!!! That´s amazing! And, to top it off, Dorian also woke up just once. Dorian has been doing very well with sleeping through the night or [...]
It Never Ends . . . More Teething!
Posted on June 23, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 5 Comments
Dante is having a pretty rough week . . . which means we are ALL having a rough week. First he had an ear infection. Then he had the flu with fever and vomiting. Along with a zillion flea bites, which he had a nasty allergic reaction to.
And now, well, now he´s teething again! [...]
Sick Sick Baby

Yesterday Dante looked like this:
He had a nasty fever that just wouldn´t go down and I have never seen such a miserable little boy. He couldn´t keep anything down and he was just so sad and unhappy. Thankfully he is feeling way better today and is running around and getting into trouble like normal.
Mama In Trouble
Posted on June 19, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 2 Comments
Today I accidentally knocked my coffee mug off my desk and it smashed into bits on the tile floor. Dorian immediately began to cry, “I no do it!”
After I´d cleaned it up and reassured him that it was Mama´s fault, life went back to normal. Until this evening. A few minutes ago, he asked for [...]
Sleep Training . . . . AGAIN
Posted on June 15, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 2 Comments
I hate trying to get my kids to sleep. To a certain extent, they are very good about going to bed. Since birth, I´ve been putting them down at 7 and they are pretty used to going to sleep at that hour. However, they both wake up a LOT at night. Dorian often plays for [...]
My Little Boy is Growing Up
Posted on June 14, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
This has been a rather Dorian-focused, so I´m going to finish it up with one last Dorian post.
Today marks the first day that Dorian has headed off on his own to spend the morning with friends elsewhere. His cousin, Zanelle, has a futbol (soccer) game in honor of Father´s Day and since she [...]
Photos of the Head Injury
Posted on June 13, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 6 Comments
I didn´t actually take any pictures during the event because I was . . . well, trying to stop the gush of blood, truthfully. I have to admit, it did cross my mind to get Irving to snap a picture . . . but then it seems a little rude to my poor injured kid. [...]
