Day 21

Written by daddy Gene:

Full good day at home.  We were all happy to be sleeping in our own beds, finally! We bought a baby monitor so I could hear her all night.

I had to administer antibiotics at 6 am so mom could sleep before work.  I looked forward to going back to bed but I got the wakeup call at 7:15 am, “I am hungry!!!  Daddy you promised you were going to make a special breakfast”.  I promised to make Mickey Mouse pancakes with M & M’s the night before in yet another conversation about food.  The promise was fulfilled and both kids were eating pancakes by 7:45.  Mom grabbed one on the way out the door too.

Kennedy was feeling good all day, but needed to take a few naps to recharge.  The challenge was again to ensure she did not over eat. She is constantly hungry because of the steroids that she takes.  I went to the store and got organic chicken and our nanny made a fabulous soup.  Getting Kennedy to eat meat is sometimes a challenge but Kennedy liked the soup it so much she ate 3 bowls.

In the afternoon we built a dollhouse together for hours and Kennedy played dress up with a new hat and glasses.  Molly came by to help Maddox with homework and said “hi” to Kennedy.  I noticed Kennedy was very insecure about her “baby” hair (as she calls it) but thankfully Molly is great with her and told her how beautiful she looked.  Molly will be tutoring Kennedy while she is out of school.  We are lucky to have her since both kids adore her.

Mom came home and took Maddox to wrestling and went to work out.  Grandma came by to visit.  Today was an uneventful day, which is a good thing.

Before bed, Kennedy had a meltdown when she was brushing her teeth.  She hates her hair and wants to shave it off now.  I don’t feel so great about it but mom thinks it’s ok.  We will sleep on it and see how Kennedy feels tomorrow.
