Leia whacks her twin brother Luke with a clean spoon which he worked hard to pull out of the dishwasher; only to have it swiped from his hands and smacked against his skull.
Luke pulls up and creeps; Leia only sits and crawls (and howls to be held).
Awakened by tandem screaming at 5:45AM, yesterday launched what would amount to a marathon-2day event in our early foster family experience. Normally quiet until at least 6AM, the twins were not about to settle down and go back to sleep, so up we all rose to meet their needs; the noise level prevented anyone from sleeping. Nothing much would console the pair, and the howling and complaining was only slightly subdued by bottles and a bit of breakfast mush. Something just wasn't right. By 3PM the diagnosis confirmed the suspicion: dual double ear infections. We loaded lots of amoxicillin into our refrigerator after an interesting session at our local pharmacy. Let's hope their pain is eased and their rest is peaceful...
Add to the household discontentment factor: Tony, sick (again) with a fever, runny nose and coughing, needing more than a fair share of attention while in recovery mode (understandably, but never-the-less burdensome). Another 2 hour session (twins strapped in a double stroller, cajoled with snacks and wrappers and pacing loops through the halls during lengthy waits) at the doctor's office today including a visit to the chest x-ray machine helped diagnose probable pneumonia in one of Tony's lungs. Added more Amoxicillin to the fridge; hoping his illness will soon be healed...
