Preschool, birthday, and Ryker!

I was planning such a cute post in my head.....
First day of school was September 8, 2009, for Ms. Hailey. We got up and took it pretty easy, ate a lot of breakfast, got dressed, took a lot of pictures, and drove to the preschool. She did so good, I was worried, I hated preschool, actually I hate to admit it, but yes, I was a preschool drop out. Ryker was sooo sad, he was crying so bad, that we all had to walk her to the door, instead of letting her run in.
We got re loaded and we took off to a sweet park that I found, you run around the trail twice, and it is a mile. We ran 5 miles, I was planning on running into the store, and getting some presents, but then I looked at our little Ryker who actually fell asleep, his ear was leaking....what?
I called the doctor and the receptionist was like, you need to bring him in.....at 12:30, I was thinking perfect, I'll run home, get lunch made, and go get Hailey from preschool. We got out again, Ryker went and stood at the door, he was waiting so cute, as soon as it opened he yelled, "Hayey", it was too cute. Then we were off to the doctors.
We get there, and we check in, eat our lunch in the waiting room, and well, wait. Rykers name was called, and we got the news of an ear ache, and huge tonsils. The doctor didn't want to prescribe any ear drops, because this is his first one since tubes, and we do not have any insurance, he said that they would be too expensive....so we were in the attempt to wait it out. With three nights of not sleeping, holding him night and day, and motrin and tylenol repeats to the point that I was forgetting which ones turn it was.....I caved and had them call in a prescription. We did not fill it then, i just wanted it called in for the weekend. Well we just carried on with our crazy life, until Saturday...his poor little ear was all swollen and he was not getting any better. I called the on call doctor, and she said that when it gets swollen the infection is not draining, and actually getting deeper.
I went and got the RX, and to my surprise, it was oral drops. My doctor had called in an oral drop, to save us money. I really appreciate him, and how he looks out for us.
Haileys birthday was on September 10...I cannot believe that she is 4....she is such a blessing in my life...she is sooo sweet, and very fun. I got to go to school to spotlight her for the first 15 minutes. We told the class what she likes to do, and where she likes to go, and we gave them her favorite treat, Costco cookies! She told me to tell them that her favorite place to go was Costco and the Library.
The night of her birthday, we had a combined party to celebrate her uncles too, they are on the same day. We had all breakfast stuff, it was a hit. I hope she had a great day.
We have celebrated her birthday for like two weeks straight. We gave her and Ryker Coaster Cars, they are a lot like Plasma Bikes. She got to love them in CA and that is all we have heard about since. We got Rykers birthday present early, so they won't fight, and even the same color, we have had a lot of fun on those.
As for Hailey and preschool, she is learning soooo much and having such a great time. I hope that this lasts, she always says funny things that she thinks she remembers, it is soooo funny. She is learning so many new poems, how to write lower case letters, and learning the sound, she is loving to sing lately, every time she is bored, "My father has a family it's me, it's you", "I am a builder", or "She wears high heels, I wear flip flops" comes out. Her and Ryker both love to sing the song, "Why does love always feel like a battlefield," they say armor sooooo funny.
Soooo, anyway, we are all doing better, last night we all slept, and we are all feeling great. Rykers ears have stopped oozing soooo much, and now I only have to wipe it 2 times a day, instead of like 6.
We made an appointment in october for Rykers tonsils, we'll see how that goes.
