Chef Julia

The days just seem to get shorter and shorter! Julia is doing great at school, but we're all still trying to adjust to the early mornings and crazy afternoons. Julia will not take a nap at school during naptime, and by 4 or 5 in the afternoon, she's just miserable! It makes for some fun evenings. Between that, working, dinner, etc. it seems like the day is over before it began! Anyway, they have been discussing a different career each day at school. One day they talked about policemen, and the teacher asked, "What do policemen do?" Instead of saying, "they get bad guys" or "they protect us", Julia said, "They give you tickets!" That's because of the unfortunate incident of her being in the car when I got a ticket on the way to Athens! I thought that was pretty funny. Anyway, last Friday they talked about chefs and made chef's hats and even made cookies and ate them. She brought home her chef's hat and we decided to let her be a chef again and make a home made pizza. She had fun and of course the pizza was delicious (not really).

Alex is doing better these days! He had the barium swallow, which wasn't that bad, and it showed that everything was normal. We were glad there were no blockages or anything serious but we still think he has acid reflux. The Zantac seems to be helping- he is not crying nearly as much and is actually taking naps during the day! He is still not on any kind of schedule and still wakes up in the middle of the night but we're working on it. We're just thrilled that he is finally getting some relief.
