It Was A First

Today I went to the chiropractor for the first time....and it was a very good experience. I've been having knee issues since being pregnant with Will. They did came back when I started running with the Mom On The Run group. They were swollen after running and crackeling every time I crouched down. A friend of mine from work has similar issues and has a "sports" chiropractor, so I went to see her. Well, she's fabulous. She adjusted my hips, knees and ankles. My feet actually are straight now instead of pointing outwards. I went to pick up some groceries after my appointment and I could feel my legs felt a little "jelly" like. But that quickly went away. I'll be interested to see how long this adjustment lasts.

She asked me which sport I played when I was younger. She thought it was soccer. When I told her I was a cheerleader she said, "There it comes out." Guess I've been "off" for a few years!!

This past week Owen ended up with the flu. He had a fever and threw up in the middle of the night. Scott stayed home with him on Wednesday. Last night Scott had a fever, chills and achy feet and legs. Fortunately that was all and he was feeling fine this morning! Now if Will and I can avoid it and stay healthy!

Week 2

Last night was my second week of Moms on the Run. I definitely prefer to run with the group. We are supposed to get in 2-3 workouts a week. I can't run with the group on Thursday because we have swim class with Owen. So that leaves me to go on my own.

This week we increased our running interval and our walking time stayed the same. We covered more distance this time around too.

We take the boys in for their wellness checks tomorrow. Both get shots. We've been dealing with Owen breaking out into hives. It seems to coincide with him drinking juice/milk, or whatever. We can't figure it out. We've cut out juice completely, changed dishwasher detergent, nothing seems to help. I don't think he's getting them at daycare. I might have to see if Rosemount changed their water over here. Not sure what else to do. We'll see what his doctor says.

I'm curious to find out how much Will weighs. I'm guessing about 20. I'll have to see what Owen weighed at 6 months. Sometimes I think I'm looking at Owen as a baby when I look at Will. They look a lot alike.

Owen's got quite the attitude tonight. We were talking at MOTR that 3 is worse then 2. I was glad to hear that everyone agreed. I just keep thinking we're at the beginning of 3. It could be a long year with Owen working on his independence. One mom recommended 123 Magic Discipline. At least I think that's what it was called. I think it might be worth the read.

Alright, I better rescue Scott from Owen. Sleep tight, everyone!

Let's Go Fly A Kite

Well, we finally got around to "trying" to fly Owen's Dragon kite. It was way too windy this morning and afternoon, but after we went to the grocery store, it was perfect out. So Owen and I tried to fly it in the back yard, but we weren't getting a consistant wind. We decided to walk down to the park. It felt great to have some mom and Owen time. We don't get to do that much these days. We did get the kite up to about 15 feet, but the wind was quickly disappearing. Owen got bored and wanted to play in the sand instead. I can't blame him, I just wasn't able to keep it up and he wanted to hold the handle. We'll try again. Hopefully soon. It defintely goes up pretty easy which is good for me!

Also today we had Owen in big-boy underwear for the first time. He did great! He eventually had an accident, but we sort of neglected it as he was outside "helping" Daddy mow the lawn. He came in and told me he was wet. He is great when we ask him to go, but he doesn't always let us know when he has to go! We're getting there....
