On Friday Milo asks which day Toby is suppose to come over.  I told Milo that Toby was suppose to come over yesterday but he had a pretty bad fever and couldn&#8217;t come.  Milo said &#8216;A bad fever?  Did he die?&#8217;  &#8216;No, he just doesn&#8217;t feel very well&#8217;  &#8216;Oh good, because if he had died I would have cried and cried and cried and been so sad!!&#8217;<br \/>\n*Milo telling Grandma something;  &#8216;&#8230;..Toby, he&#8217;s a Bennett,&#8230;..&#8217;<br \/>\n*Afton on the potty, just sitting there &#8216;Afton, where is your pee?&#8217; &#8216;I dunno, I can&#8217;t find it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>-I&#8217;m feeling so much better these days and even exercising.  It feels great to be active everyday.  However, with my new found \u201cenergy\u201d I can&#8217;t seem to get to bed before 11 and most of the time midnight.  So while I&#8217;m feeling more energetic, I&#8217;m feeling more tired too!  Silly I know!<\/p>\n<p>-I&#8217;ve officially stopped nursing.  I think that is what finally helped me kick my sick streak.  I realized that it would be best to have a well mommy and that Keri would survive just fine with formula for a few months.  A few weeks after I stopped nursing a friend of mine gave me a bunch of formula that she didn&#8217;t need anymore.  Now I won&#8217;t have to buy anymore.  It should last us till Keri is old enough to drink milk.  The blessings we receive are amazing!<\/p>\n<p>-I had this nasty cough for most of the month.  It was a dry cough.  I wasn&#8217;t congested or feeling sick in any other way.  I just constantly coughed.  Cough medicine wouldn&#8217;t even take it away.  It took 3 weeks for it to go away entirely.  During the first week, I lost my voice.  It was weird, but it&#8217;s so nice not to be coughing anymore.  <\/p>\n<p>-Alix picked up this weird facial rash.  I was a little concerned that it was something more than just a rash.  Alix LOVES to put things in her mouth and last week at the park she picked up some pretty interesting items and had put them in her mouth.  I went to the doctor and she prescribed some Mupirocin ointment.  The doctor was a bit vague on what it was and why Alix had this so I did some of my own research on line.  I guess this medication is used to treat <a href=\"http:\/\/kidshealth.org\/parent\/infections\/bacterial_viral\/impetigo.html\">Impetigo<\/a>.   I&#8217;ve been very worried about this anyway and I didn&#8217;t want it to spread or get worse.  After reading up on it, I was even more worried.  But it seems to be getting better.  I just feel bad for Alix because she is required to constantly wash her hands, no kissing, hugging or sharing anything with anyone.  I think she feels a bit ostracized.  When we saw mom she asked if Alix had Impetigo.  I was shocked that she could recognize it so easily.  She said I had a few times when I was a little girl.  She said they told her children who like to play with\/in dirt are more prone to get it.  She also said children who have dry\/chapped lips are more prone to get it too.  Both those items describe Alix exactly.  Guess Alix is more like me than I&#8217;m willing to admit!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-Some funny things the kids have said: *Afton going potty at the zoo; She sits down and someone comes in and goes in the stall next to her.
