Yesterday morning I started our Saturday off by calling our pediatrician at 8 AM and inquiring if there was some normal reason for my toddler's penis to be bleeding profusely.
No, and thank God our office is open on Saturday mornings. Hurried Oli over there, went through a visit that I'm sure was traumatizing for the male doctor as well as my boy, and figured out that some good ol' Aquaphor for a few days would clear it up easily. Not yeast or anything so I don't need to bleach diapers, and we've not had any kind of soap in their bath for bubbles in almost a year. Still don't know what it was a reaction to, but he's looking waaaay better today.
After that, Oli and I grabbed Dunkin and caramel hot chocolate and brought it home to Daddy and his brothers. Eric was utterly exhausted and had a strong headache, but I still convinced him that a trip to Grand Rapids would distract him and help him feel better with a little retail therapy. Loaded up the boys, drove an hour north, and picked up...
... THESE BEAUTIES!!!!
All BumGenius Freetimes with slightly relaxed elastics. They're definitely still useable while I slowly work through them and replace elastic, but DUDE I AM SO PUMPED. Put one on Oli and it WORKED as an overnight with no boosting (!!!!!) and Izzy's been wearing them all morning. No leaks, no uncomfortable looking kid who feels super wet, and absolutely ADORABLE bums. <3 It makes me so happy to see them on the shelf and on the little ones!
Then we drove home. Stopped at Wayland's unique Taco Bell-KFC, which is a full fusion of both restaurants and was absolutely excellent as an environment for the boys to stop and stretch our legs. It's halfway between Kalamazoo and GR, so that they're such a busy town is no surprise. Boys actually behaved fairly well-- yeah, there was some excited running after me when I got up to get drinks or napkins but they listened and didn't scream! Win!
When we got home we took it easy. Wound down to bedtime for the boys, I tidied up the house, and went straight to bed.
Today I've cleaned again, folded two loads of laundry, stuffed diapers, and taken care of boys and played with them. :) Hope your weekend is going well!
