Hi friends...
I am happy to report that the kiddos have snapped out of their anniversary (of being seperated from birth parent) funk. I'll tell you it was a hard few days; especially with Drew out of town for seminars. In order to get through the days we went to Vanderveer park for a picnic and walked through the botanical center. We are doing a unit study on gardening for homeschool, so it was a perfect way to expose them to more learning. The next day we had another picnic at the Niabi Zoo. The Zoo has gotten so much better with the addition of the giraffs and another monkey exhibit. IT was nearly 70 degrees out, so we loved it. However, the weekend was difficult because of Joe's refusal to eat or drink. He eventually became dehydrated and we spent hours at the ER with an IV drip. Today was a follow up appointment with a new doctor where we rcvd a new, yet random diagnosis of gastritis (inflammation of the stomache). It's a little vauge, but we'll take it. He has some meds and we are supposed to limit the volume of food he eats as well as keeping him on bland choices. The doctor thought we were over feeding him. It's a possibility I suppose. My older kids are obsessed with food due to being starved early in life. Food is important in our house and they know it if we miss a snack. They constantly ask for snacks. I'm structured though and only provide 3 meals and 2 snakcs per day. I'm sure they con Amanda (our fantastic nanny)into giving them more. Dinner is done and that is the news for today.

Poor little guy. Why does it always seem to hit the fan right after you quit nursing them??? That's how it always is here.
Sorry that the little fellow now has to eat bland, small portions. That stinks.
