Nor's been waking up at 6:30 and Anna's going through some kind of growth spurt/wonder week. Ugh.
Today we are going to Sam's Club in the morning before DH has to start his work day. Then swim class tonight for Norah. She now can swim on her own (but we still have to do parent participation until she turns 3 next month). DH goes in with her. At first I thought swim class would be annoying/stupid because I was being hipster and thinking "EVERYBODY does that..." but It's fun to watch her improve each week and she loves it! I have seen some helicopter/soccer parents there though and they annoy me. It's swimming; sit down and stop being so competitive.
UO: I can't stand overly supportive parents bc it seems fake. Over excessive thumbs up and "good job buddy"s seems like too much and it's annoying. Sit down and let him swim w/o your annoying face over by the side of the pool every two seconds making him give you a thumbs up.
Last night was not a good night. I'm still recovering emotionally.
Yesterday our label maker ran out of tape, so we used to tape to label all of Little Man's bottles for daycare. Somehow during his 4 p.m. feeding, he peeled the tape off of the bottle and stuck it in his mouth. He came home with it in his mouth and I noticed him breathing a little funny but I thought he was just congested. Then when I was feeding him, he started choking and his face turned deep red. I stuck my fingers in his mouth and he threw up and started crying. I saw something in his mouth and did a finger sweep and pulled out his bottle label. I was so upset.
I had a talk with his teachers this morning about making sure he's not peeling off the labels and sticking them in his mouth during feedings. It's just distressing when I think about all the things that happened after his feeding, like riding in the car, taking a nap, playing on the floor, when he could have choked to death and no one might have noticed.
We also now have more label tape for the label maker. That tape sticks better and is hard to peel off, so we shouldn't have anymore issues.

badw0lf, DS puts food in his mouth like a chipmunk too. We always have to check after meals to make sure he's not storing anything that he can choke on during nap. I guess we also need to start checking before we put him in his car seat or down for nap too!

dreemkin I'm hoping SIL will agree that I can get swim lessons for my nephew for his birthday. I think it would be a great experience for him. kaydee0402 sending you the biggest hug. That is petrifying.
kaydee0402 oh that is terrifying. I'm so sorry that happened. I'm just glad it went south at a time you were right there and could help him right away.

kaydee0402 DS did something similar with a piece of tape from the baggage tag on his stroller on our last flight. He was being fussy and I noticed a bunch of white on the roof of his mouth so I tried to wipe it to see if it was milk or thrush. Just tape waiting to choke my baby. We no longer let him play with the baggage tags.
I label DS's bottles with permanent marker. I clean it off with a swipe of rubbing alcohol. DS's daycare stopped labeling pacifiers and bottles with any kind of tape and switched to permanent marker to avoid the choking hazard.

Well it looks like the man cold strikes again. DH just came home early from work and went straight to bed. He was feeling crummy and running a slight fever last night. I was really hoping it was a fluke and would blow over, but I guess not. Now I get to take care of a teething baby and big baby with a cold. :/

Oh I commiserate! H, DS and I all have colds. But, according to H, he has it the "worst." Mmmhhmmmm.
This reminds me of DH complaining to me about how tired he is when DD has a particularly rough night. He's gotten up to help during MOTN approximately 3 times in the past almost 9 months.

I'll see if I can do the permanent marker on Little Man's bottles. If I could eliminate labels all together, that would probably be best.
kaydee0402, My mom clips the codes off the pampers wipes refills for me, and my little man got that half way down his throat before I got to him. It's scary stuff. We also half choked on Sophie the giraffe's stupid leg.
hollydfromtn, Not a man cold, but my husband's lower back is bothering him. Which is funny because I've been having that same issue, and all he says is a halfhearted "I'm sorry." So I've been doing the same to him. Why do ailments bother them so much more? Maybe we're just tougher!
Also, this Tuesday feels like a Monday and I don't like it.
Oh gosh kaydee0402 that is terrifying I am so sorry you had that experience but so thankful he is ok. Big hugs. A mom on my book club forum had almost the same experience with a bandaid on the finger on the way home from the Dr. Thank God she heard the odd cough and pulled over

Oh my, just read the labels and food hoarding stories, now I'm scared. I have to start getting into the habit of checking his mouth too! So scary! Thank god all your babies are fine.
DH had his in person this morning and things are still positive! He'll be meeting the head of the department on our way home and then we should be hearing by Christmas!
G was a broccolini eating machine today at lunch. Too bad most came back up. I think he just ate too much. We might try to get him a baby risotto tomorrow. It was a bit of a lazy day with no new art appreciation stories. But tomorrow we're doing a few really old churches, so stay tuned.

Welp it looks like man cold could really be the man flu. Sitting at the clinic with H now waiting for him to go back and see the doc. Thankfully MIL was able to take S so I could bring H to the doc. I really hope it's not the flu. We were planning on getting our shots tomorrow. :/

Oh no! Hope it's not the flu! Is there a pediatric version of Tamiflu?
I was hoping to bring G to get his flu shot yesterday but the pedi's office gives them between 4 & 430pm and he was napping.

Luckily S already got his flu shot but he'll need his booster at the end of the month. H and I were the ones planning to get ours tomorrow. :/
