Oh My Dearest Bradleypoo




As most of you know, Bradley is still struggling after his tubes and adenoids surgery. In fact, Bradley got an ear infection 10 days after the procedure. They tried giving hima new medicine to treat it, but he had an allergic reaction to it that cause his whole body to break out in awful hives and attacked his respiratory system. Anyway, they put him on steroids to help his respiratory system until the medicine is out of his system. I wish theywould have prescribed me some as well so I could keep up with him. The kid goes through 3 continuous phases all day....1. "eat, eat, eat" (I can't fit enough snacks in my bag for a dsay).........2. "mommy up, mommy hold me" (he follows me around clinging to my legs or propels himsef at me in an effort to be held"...............and the 3. exremely frustrated "NO" phase (this phase is just really Iam mad and nothing you do makes it better". This last one is definitely my least favorite.

Anyway, Ella hast 3 really good girlfriends at school and today one of them invited us over for a play date. The girls had a blast playing dress up as Bradley combined phases 1 and 3 and stood in front of their pantry screaming to eat everything in sight. By the time we left my son had finished off their juice, had half a brick of cheese and some crackers...this is extremely odd for Bradley since he is n't that good of a na eater right now, but the steroids have turned him into a ravenous snacker. After finally filling his belly he went to play with the girls. I went to check tot he room to make sure there was nothing he could break or damage and then I came back out with the other moms and bagan feeding Jameson. A few minutes later Bradley comes running out with no pants or diaper on yeliing "poop" over and over. I automatically started sweating because I knew he had taken off a poopy diaper and put it somewhere in there house. This is a new phase Bradley is in. The mother went to check and found his poopy diaper on the floor and poop on the bathroom floor. How mortified was I? Ugh!

As we're leaving the playdate, Ella was sobbing to leave her new friends and they were all hugging and kissing like a high school click and Ella dramatically says, "I want to stay here my entire life". I noticed when the mother answered her that she said "Ella" you are welcome anytime......I'm not sure if Bradley and I will be invited back after today. Ella then continued to cry the whole way home because she "NEEDS" her friends Sophia, Olivia and Ava from school. She just "NEEDS" to see them today. It was like a preview of what it will be like in high school with Ella and her friends. Every day when the 4 girls show up at school they all scream and do this great big group hug and kiss, so it really is great to see that they are so excited about each other and such good friends already, but seriously.......let the drama begin.

Hope you all have a great poop free day!
