The Riley Family

Tom has yet another ear infection.  They are running out of antibiotics to treat him :(.  Hopefully this will clear up soon.  They will re-check his ears at his 1 year appointment, but if he gets any more ear infections this summer, I think we will be heading to the ENT for tubes. 

We have been super busy the past two weeks.  Many pictures to post soon.  Here are some highlights: - Tom can walk!  Ok, when he wants to, he can take about 5 or so steps at a time, but he prefers to crawl. - Tom can wave!  Fun to see him wave his whole arm around :) - Will is getting geared up for 3 year old preschool this fall - Jack has only 1 more day of preschool, and then he will be a kindergartener! - Jack did a great job in his violin recital this weekend! - Kate is now a Brownie, her Daisy troop had a bridging ceremony a couple weeks ago. - Kate did a great job at her violin and piano recitals this weekend. - Kate finished spring soccer this weekend. - Kate is joining swim team this summer, and practice starts next week! - Two more weeks of school, and Kate will be a 2nd grader!

Kate's Daisy Girl Scout troop had their Bridging ceremony this week, and now they are officially Brownies!  Most of the troop will be continuing next year in 2nd grade.  Pictures soon.

The newest contraption to try to get Tom to sleep more than 20 minutes at a time.

Last week was a long week, full of doctor appointments.  Two Thursdays ago K came home from a Daisy meeting and fell asleep on the couch.  She and Jack stayed home on Friday.  Sat and Sun K said she felt better, so played soccer both days.  Monday = throat hurts.  And W is super cranky.  Take them in saying they have strep.  They try to test K, and say it is negative.  Still they both seem sick.  So, on Friday I take W in again, and sure enough it is strep.  The give W and K antibiotics.  T is already on for a double ear infection.  I go, and I have strep too.  I send P and J for testing, but they didn't have it.  We are almost done with our Rx and feeling much better!
