A Mellow Brick Road...: Daddy to the Rescue

Daddy took you, Jude, to your doctor's appointment early this morning. There was no way Mommy, after only a few hours of sleep, was going to be able to get myself and you ready and actually get there on time! Daddy to the rescue! The news was bleak though! Jude, your ears have not improved at all. You've had this dang ear infection for about 10 weeks now! Poor guy! The nurse that you saw today, Dr. Zentz is not in this week, couldn't believe how huge you are, and was even more impressed that despite having an ear infection, how happy you were :) What Mommy and Daddy thought was a diaper rash, turned out to be muratic acid burns, apparently, you, Bodhi had snuck in our room in the middle of the night and poured muratic acid on your brother's pee pee and bum.... Ok, that's NOT true, but I had to put that in here for Great Papaw Grills! He examines every photo of Jude very closely as to monitor if you, Bodhi, are getting away with torturing your brother Ha/Ha! Grandmoo told Mommy and Daddy that she spoke with Great Papaw Grills today, and Papaw said that someone needs to yank a knot in your tail, Bodhi, because you and your brother are like little pack animals and you, Bodhi, need to be put in your place now, rather than later bahhahahahaha! You do act like Mr. Murff, and for the longest time you actually thought you were a dog :) Needless to say, after Mommy got off the phone with Grandmoo, Daddy called Grandmoo right back, real serious-like, and said "No one will touch that little Daddy's girl, she's an angel." Mommy could hear Grandmoo laughing clear across the room. Jude, bubs, I'm afraid your Momma and your Great Papaw Grills are the only two looking out for you hee/hee Bodhi has Daddy, Grandmoo, GiGi, and Gi-Pa Poncho wrapped around her little finger :)- By the way, Jude, your diaper rash turned out to be a yeast infection and so now we have to use anti-fungal foot cream on your tush and manhood. Unfortunately, you get the yeast problem from your Momma and Great Papaw Grills too hee/hee

This afternoon while you two were napping, Daddy took Mommy's car to the dealership in Westfield to have it looked at because the ABS indicator light was on, along with the car wheel traction light. More bad news from that visit as well... it's going to cost about $900 to get that fixed uggggh! Mommy was glad Daddy volunteered for that trip too! If Mommy would have went, I had to take you, Jude, with me! You are not happy when your Momma is out of sight.

Since your ears haven't improved, Mommy kept you both inside today. I'm afraid this may cause Bodhi to have further negative feelings about you, Jude :( We ended up playing inside. However, you, Jude, only slept for about two hours. Bodhi, on the other hand, took a five hour nap. Mommy thinks she may be coming down with something as well. Bodhi, you were still tired after your long nap! Mommy anticipated you staying up later tonight, but you insisted on going to bed. Jude, Mommy nursed you, cuddled you, and got you to sleep on two separate occasions before putting you in your crib. However, you again immediately woke up crying. You didn't cry long though. Mommy thought you were asleep and snuck back in the room to check on you, and you were smacking your lips and staring at Mommy as she peaked around the door. Poor little guy! When Mommy left, you started crying again. I'm pretty certain you fell asleep quickly after that :( You actually just woke up right as I finished that last sentence. This blog is going to be late, I can tell by your cry... poor baby boy!

Bodhi, Mommy got you to say Bubs today! You said it several times :)
