What to do??

So, we had another weekend that was pretty uneventful. Landon was pretty cranky as he has been for the last month or so. We ended up taking him to the ER on Sunday to get his right ear checked out as it was draining a lot of nasty stuff. It appeared that his ear drum had burst and it was now draining. I must say that was very nasty. I guess it is a good thing that it is draining but man I felt horrible that I didn't know about the ear infection. He is now on Zythromax which is a strong dose of amoxicillin and he seems to be doing well with it. His nose and ear are looking better. I think that we are going to be on tube set number 2. Luke is going to take Landon to the Doctor on Thursday and ask about getting another set of tubes but in his ears. I feel horrible about all this. I just pray to God that he has no hearing loss. Even though he does ask "huh?" a lot!!! We will see what she has to say. Keep your fingers crossed.

This weekend brings me to a Saturday of scrapping at a local church which is really needed considering I am still a year behind in pictures. My Aunt is even coming down to spend the day scraping. I am looking forward to it. We are also getting ready for our Vegas trip which is a week away from Sunday. It is a bitter sweet deal for me. I am really ready to have some alone time with Luke, but it is going to be hard dropping Landon off at Grandma's on Saturday night. But it should make the love grow fonder, right? I am going to do my best with not calling home and having to hear him and just wait to see him on Friday. I hope I can do it.

Potty Time

I just had to mention that I think we are almost potty trained. Landon has been dry all week at daycare and doing very well letting them know when he has to go potty. I can't believe it. Daycare is now asking for us to bring "big boy" underwear for him to try out. I am a little concerned about that, but we will see how he does. I also brought about 3 changes of clothes anticipating accidents.

However, being at home he isn't so great. What is up with that? He shows very little interest going at home. So hopefully this weekend, we can change that. We plan to work very hard with him and we even bought a new Bob the Builder seat that fits inside the regular toliet seat then he can use his stool and everything. Cross your fingers for us that he can do it and we conquer this hurdle.

Ice Skating

What a weekend we had. Landon experienced for the first time ice skating. Okay, he didn't really have ice skates on but he was on the ice with his boots and in a sled. He thought it was fun. He was all bundled up and getting irritated since he couldn't move around as well, but he did survive. Chad, Melissa, Joe, and Kelsie decided to go ice skating (Kelsie was the only one with actual skates on) but Chad and Joe had a great time playing what they call hockey and Kelsie practiced being on her skates. They had invited Landon along. It was beautiful on Sunday so it was a great day to get out and enjoy the sun. Landon will not become a hockey player but we sure did think the picture was cute.

We are also battling the potty training grudge. Landon seems to be doing pretty well at daycare, however, when he comes home it is just a game. He is in a pull up now, but at home we can catch him pooping and he just will not sit on the potty. It is frustrating. I just feel that we aren't ever going to get over the hump. We just keep taking it one day at a time and hopefully it will just magically happen. If anyone knows any tricks that will trigger him, please share them.
