Jesse is crazy! I mean, he's acting crazy. I think it's the steroids that the doctor prescribed. He's moody, rowdy, and gets real mad way faster than normal. And he's still pretty wheezy, although better than he was earlier in the week. He still doesn't like his one medicine. Last night we made a smoothie and mixed his medicine in. He had downed it in less than 5 minutes. So much better than the 15-30 minute battles before. I just hope he doesn't get tired of smoothies before the week is out. We still have 6 more days of this. Rebecca has been cranky too. My best guess is she's teething. I still haven't seen one pop through, but since she's already 8 months old she is definitely due!
So, amidst all the chaos today, I decided to bake some bread. It was kind of fun. And tasty too. Since we have no groceries in the fridge, we may just eat bread and butter for supper.
I guess I should share a cute story about Jesse too. He understands most of what we say to him these days (whether he agrees or not is another story!) So, to help with the frustration factor, we have started giving him choices in some matters. For example, we will ask him if he would like milk or apple juice. Since he knows both of those words he will just tell us which he would like. But, he doesn't know the names of the different cereals in our pantry. We will just point to one and ask, "Would you like this one?" His replies are usually something like this, "Oh...no, no, no, no" as he shakes his head. Or, "Oh, okay" with vigorous nodding. It's pretty cute I think. Best of all, we actually are communicating with each other. He gets what he wants and there isn't a lot of crying and gnashing of teeth. Now if only Rebecca could pick up some tips from him...
