Playing at the Park

Today was a pretty fun but crazy day.  The kids had fun and they drove me crazy. Really their was no reason for me to be so impatient today, but I was.  I guess the getting up with Megan multiple times last night and the hour that she was wide awake in the early morning hour might be why my patience was thin today.  I think that she is getting some more teeth, but also she has had some gas problems since switching to whole milk.  We still do some formula with the whole milk but it still seems to bother her every now and then.  It seems like it is mostly at night when she is sleeping that she seems to have the gas problems.  I don't notice any problems with it during the day.  We were hoping that her milk protein issues would have been totally gone by now since she was doing so well on regular formula.  She is doing much better then she was.  She hasn't experience any diarrhea with the switch to whole milk, so that is really good.  We hope that her body will figure it all out soon.  Tony and I need some decent sleep!

This morning while dropping Tyler off at school I let Megan out of the stroller to walk around.  Josh was playing at the playground with my friend Bronny's son, Cole.  Megan was climbing on the cement steps and lost her footing and bashed her head into the next step.  It made an indentation in her forehead.  I had never seen that before so bad.  She cried for a long time and I ended up just carrying her home.  I gave her some Advil and milk and she seemed to feel much better.  Now it is just a round bruise on her head, it matches the other side where she hit her head a couple weeks ago.

Megan is definitely in the phase where she fights going down for a nap.  She fights it and then takes a late morning nap so then she is fussy in the evenings because she's tired, but it's too late for a nap and too early for bed time.  So today after Megan finally took her nap, we all went to the park.  Some of the ward ladies were going with their kids, so I thought it would be fun.  The weather was nice and sunny, but a bit chilly.  The boys loved playing on the play ground with all the other kids and riding their bike and scooter.

Tyler got brave this trip and learned how to jump onto the big circle spin thing all by himself.  He had me help him the first time, but with me showing him that he could just jump and grab the bar he quickly learned he could do it all him self.  He even got a couple other boys around him age to do it too.  Then they would all do it together and make the bar move.  It was fun to see them work together and make new friends.  

Megan liked climbing up and down on the things and getting into things she shouldn't.  She would get into the rhino toy and then stand up to ride him.  She didn't want to just sit there and ride, no she had to stand up.  It seems like she isn't happy unless she is in danger.  She took a liking to Josh's helmet so I let her play with it.  I put it on her head and she thought that was so much fun.  She would put it on and then walk around all funny.  It was pretty cute stuff.
