First Braves Game

Thursday 8/28/08

Braves 4

Marlins 2

McCann hit a 3 run home runner.

It was a beautiful night and the Braves played well.

Cotton candy, fireworks and baseball. Heaven to little boys. We even got him chopping like a true Braves fan!

Oh what fun to have other boys over. Caleb had a blast. Owen and Zander... most of the time. (Zander was quite tiered of hearing Caleb sing his abcs after the 20th time.) We met everyone downtown and had fun at Centennial Park. The boys loved the all kids park and of course the fountains. The oddest (if that is the right word) thing they enjoyed is picking the nuts off the oaks tree and throwing them down the grates into the sewer. Hope no oak tree start growing down there. We did ride Marta back to pick up the car. They thought that was really cool. The next day we went to Play in Roswell. It was quite a hit with the boys. Ikea was quite a hit with us mommies. Though the boys didn't complain too bad with cinnamon rolls and ice cream. Caleb was sad to see his "best friends" leave. He is quite melodramatic. "I'm never going to see them again. "

MOPS Playdate at Kangazoom

Here is a fun place to take the kiddos....

We had a blast here. It took him about ten minutes or so to warm up the bouncy houses. But once he started there was no stopping him. They have a place with tables that they can eat. Caleb was sharing his lunch really well with others. (of course he started taking others food. so we had to have an important lesson that even if you give you might not get back.)He even started feeding one girl. She is about his age. I guess we better watch them closely. I think he is oblivious to girls or he might just be a player. For you girls out there I hope he is just oblivious because he does have an awfully cute smile that melts most women.

Happy 3rd Birthday Alex

This is Alex's Birthday Party. He is Caleb's 2nd Cousin? Alex's daddy and and Patrick are cousins. It was a really cool pool party. I know pool party with his ears? Well we put stuff in his ears and he rarely put his head in the water. He probably gets more on his head when he taking a bath. Luckily there was also a playground attached. Any ways it was trucked themed. Really cute. There was even a dirt cake in HUGE toy dump truck.

Caleb dancing or dare devil you decide.

Fun at Marietta Square

Here we are as a family having fun at Marietta Square.

Ear Drum Perforations

As many of family and friends know. Caleb's left drum perforated. Or tore. Perforated just sounds better. Friday (8/8) I had brought him in the DR because he was complaining about his ear. The DR is not one that we usually see since we went in as a walk in patient. She diagnosed him with an outer ear infection or swimmers ear. I should have gone with my gut and asked someone else could have taken a look at his ear. But away we went with ear drops.

That night he was screaming and kept on saying a train was in his ear. Well we thought the Motrin had done the trick when he finally stopped screaming little did we know that it was the ear drum taring. Well when I went to put the drops in his ears that morning there was blood. So we took him to an urgent care. My faith is not to high in this place either since the first person that looked in his ears couldn't tell the difference between his ear canal and his ear drum. And she thought that we should go to the hospital right away and would need surgery. Lucky she did go and get the DR. He said that we just needed to make an appt with the ENT as soon as possible. Prescribed oral antibiotics and something to help loosen mucus. Well the ENT scheduled him for that Wednesday. In this right ear they removed the tube from the canal. The tube had already come out it was just hanging around in the canal. It had lots of wonderful wax build up all around it already. In his left ear the ENT sucked out the yuck from it. They said the tear was small and was healing and should heal faster. Gave us another kind of drop to put in his ears (it has antibodies and a steroid). And said to finish the oral antibiotic. And they will see him in a month.
