demands...

i'm going to start with a little bit about jack tonight...
the last few days jack has been very demanding over jordyn (whenever he's having fun with her). tonight i was reminded of this when i went to pick her up to put her to bed and jack said, "PUT HER DOWN!" and he meant business. i told him she needed to go to bed and he said, "NO...PUT HER DOWN!" it didn't work on me...but it sure was cute. then later, i was rocking both he and jordyn at the same time for bed and jordyn kept kissing him. it was too cute. he kept kissing her back. what sweeties! until daylight!!!

next we'll move on to jacob. FINALLY outside witness to jacob's temper and attitude. angie, back me up here...was it there, or was it there?!?!
and another little funny about him, well...i guess this is probably the first funny, seeing as how being mean or having a temper really isn't funny. so anyway...we were in the car running an errand and just talking...when jacob says, "i just don't know why i can't get superheros out of my head. it's like they're on my brain." he's also said (many times), "i just don't know why i can't behave/listen. i don't know what's wrong with me." it's cute...but makes me wonder, too.

and finally, jordyn. dear princess jordyn. with her darn ears. she's MISERABLE. and now she has nasal drainage on top of it all. that just started today. i ended up calling the pediatrician around 6pm or so because i started thinking about hearing loss as a result of ear infections and started to get worried. i had daddy calling someone he knows that's a nurse at st. john's to get her opinion of the surgery at the other hospital. i'm just so opposed to it, i don't think i'd be comfortable with the surgery there. anyway...she started walking funny and was falling more than normal. it seemed the slower she walked, the more she fell. so that just made me worried. so i called. with the weird walking and the pain that it seemed she was in, they said their paperwork says to go to the ER. i asked her to call the doc, so she did. since we just saw him wednesday, i was hoping this wouldn't be necessary. he called in another antibiotic (5th different kind) and daddy picked it up on the way home from work. she was so miserable, she wouldn't go to sleep when i tried at 7:45, 8:15 or 8:45. so we waited for the medicine and went to bed after that. she was still difficult, but i felt better because she got her 1st dose of something new. this usually means that at least for the next 3-4 days she'll be happier. hopefully i can get something arranged, surgically, for her. i would just hate to just "go with" this other hospital when my gut just tells me "no." if something, anything, were to happen, i'd never forgive myself. so what the heck am i supposed to do???? i hate being the "mom" sometimes!
