My day

My sister had post about what a toddler eats..well its definitely true around here. Today I took a bolt, green chalk, a piece of plastic, 2 wrappers, foil and a myriad of other small objects out of my son's mouth. He constantly is finding things, digging in the garbage and calling remote objects off of shelves to place in his mouth. NONE of the other kids ever were this bad. I didn't just "forget" I know that they weren't I've kept journals since I was 12.
I am feeling very overwhelmed today. We stopped to drop off Zack who spent part of the day playing and Lydia pulled out her trach tube. By the time I realized it, I was in the drivers seat , her in the back... her stoma had started to close. Needless to say I had to do some unpleasant necessary stuff to get that tube back in. No trauma internally but plenty externally. So.... now we are keeping an extra eye on her. Lydia acted like no big deal. I am not pleased.
So I came home at 8:45 and started cleaning the entry mud/library room which my loving husband didn't even notice as he walked through it.
It is starting to look like the outdoor wedding on the 10th might be indoors if the weather report stays the same as it is right now.
Tomorrow is a banner day.. Maliea gets her braces off!!! She is very very excited. So we are headed to Phoenix bright and early tomorrow morning. As soon as we get back I will try to post a picture of her new smile for everyone who supported us in this. WE ARE TOTALLY GRATEFUL!
