On my own with surgery boy!

I have been very blessed to have someone out at our house every day since Dekker’s surgery. As I mentioned yesterday, I find putting his drops in really hard, and its been nice to have backup. The one day Brady was gone, I had my mom over. Today, I had to grow up and take care of the kidlets myself. Yes, I know I can take care of them on my own, surgery or not. Even putting drops in, at the most, that takes up like four minutes of the day. So I sent Brady off for a day of snowboarding. I get my break from the craziness we call “home” on Friday, so I figured he deserved a day away too.

When I got the littles up, Dekker probably did better with his drops than he probably ever has. I’m not sure why today was different, but he did better than expected. I mean, he still fought and cried, but eventually gave in and let it happen instead of me having to pin him down and struggle every second. Yay Dekker!

We spent the afternoon playing toys and building towers and having snacks. It was totally low key.

See how much better his eyes look? Fairly centred. Not perfect, but they’re still healing. And pink instead of blood red!!

You’d think he’s smiling for the camera here, but I actually just caught the first millisecond of a “Stop it!”

Throughout the day, I have also been researching what I want to do with my hair this next time. I’m getting it done on Friday. Since I’ve stuck with the blonde, I have to go in every two months-ish to get it retouched, and that is giving me the wiggle room to play with it a bit more than I used to. I found a new “one day” haircut. Not today, or anytime soon probably, but if I could have a haircut to try out, and then back out after a few days, I would go with this…

I LOVE this!! But I don’t know if I could pull it off, or take the time to style it constantly. But its pretty rockin’. I’ve never sported anything like it.

Brady was home around 4:30 with Tims. Did you guys notice that the roll up cups have two spots to roll up this time?! We only noticed it today, so hopefully we didn’t throw a car away!

We got Dekker up, fed us supper, and then went downstairs to build some towers. Brady built this one, but it was all Dekker’s idea. And as you can see, he was pretty proud of it!

Now, baby boy is in bed, baby girl is drinking her milk and is on her way out, and our bath is run and bubbly and waiting! Gonna spend tomorrow at my parents’ house, having a totally relaxed day while getting out of the house at the same time. Goodbye cabin fever!
