Hide and Seek...Except You Hide There

So, my first week of stay-at-homedom is behind me, but if you haven't noticed, things are crazy! But, I have a few quick stories that I wanted to make sure were forever remembered...so here we go.

Ben and Maddie's new favorite game is hide and seek. However, if you have ever been to our house, you know that our main floor does not provide a lot of places to hide, which you think would be perfect for a 3 year old and an 18 month old. But, as he does with most things, Ben thinks he need to run the hide and seek show. So, he gets very mad if you don't hide exactly where he tells you to hide. So, hide and seek at our house goes something like this: First step, Ben tells you to hide behind the counter. Second step, Ben and Maddie hide behind the couch and counts to four with his eyes wide open to make sure that you don't go and try to hide anywhere else. Third step, Ben makes sure he leaves his spot behind the couch to run faster then Maddie to the spot where he knows I am hiding. Fourth step, he finds me behind the counter and laughs like crazy. Fifth step, Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Sixth step, put kids to bed, seriously consider having a big, cold Coors Light:)

Zach rolled over on Saturday! In other words, he is a super baby. He has only done it once, but I'm sure it will happen again. Also, we had his hearing test at the audiologist office this morning and everything checked out great! If you haven't ever had to get this kind of hearing test (I think it is called an ABR test) it involves a sleeping baby that you have to try to put electrodes on his forehead and behind both ears and then probes into each of his ears all the while trying to make sure he stays asleep and keeps everything attached. The test itself isn't anything, but it took Matt, myself and the audiologist to keep everything attached and going. She said that he may have a slight delay in his left ear which most likely is caused by a head cold or some debris in the ear, but would account for the failed hearing tests he had earlier. No need to follow up, we just are supposed to keep an eye on him to make sure he is developing normally. As if...he is already proven that he is going to be a super baby...so I don't think we will have anything to worry about.

Anyway, I probably have a very short window of opportunity to eat my lunch and take a shower, so I best be signing off. I will make sure I update next week after Zach's 2-month check up and Madilyn's check up at the doctor to see if she needs tubes in her ears. Nothing but excitment around here. I guess you know you are a mom when how many times a child poops, what they ate for lunch and what the doctor said is front page news!
