We've just been staying put this weekend, trying to get ready for the next week. Caitlin has puked two nights out of the last week, which is a lot, considering she didn't puke at all for about a month and a half. The last two have been pretty bad and now that we know to be looking, she has shown signs that she has a bad headache, too. Hopefully this one will be a short cycle and we can recover quickly from it.
I strained something in my neck or shoulder this last week. I did it doing something the first night Caitlin puked so bad, something I did while cleaning, cleaning her or holding her while she puked. I spent 2-3 nights and days this week trying to get it back to normal. It is better, but threatens to tighten back up on me anytime I feel stressed.
Aunt Amy came over yesterday, and although the weather was nice, we stayed inside and let the kids stamp and color and mommy make a card. Notice I said "a" card -- the kids kept us so busy I only got one made. I have some cute pictures of Caitlin stamping with Aunt Amy that I'll post soon.
Conall also has a new caterpillar -- a tomato horn worm -- that Aunt Amy found devouring her tomato plant. He has named it Squeaker and is feeding it cherry tomatoes.
Conall had a great first week at school. He got a "green card" every day. His teacher uses a system of green, yellow, orange, and red cards for behavior. If he gets 5 green cubes (cards on his chart) in a row, he gets to pick something from the teacher's treasure chest. He can tell you every kid in the class who got something other than green and what each one did to get it! He is quite the little enforcer. We've gotten a lot of laughs out of this.
Hopefully, we can get Caitlin back on track this week and not be so worn out and do more fun things in the coming week.
