Going places

I'm really starting to hit a groove with taking two kids out on activities. Sure, it infinitely helps when I have another adult, but I'm starting to gain some confidence in just getting up and going. The days go by faster, we all have more fun and it really helps our mood. It only took ten and a half months. =P

Last week we hit the Zoo, the Children's Museum and I even took the boys along with me to do a few errands! One is fairly easy and simple. Two is where I got flustered. But I've learned that it doesn't have to be hard at all! I'm pushing myself more, getting the diaper bag ready at night, getting snacks together, water, etc. This makes it so easy to just get out of the house in the mornings. And if I'm really set, we can stay out until naptime.

One thing I'm struggling with now, though, is Makani seems to be allergic (or at least not at ALL ready to digest) to dairy products. :( My poor baby! And he LOVES yogurt! I gave him a whole thing of yogurt everyday for a week, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why he was having such painful gas and awful diarrhea. Puffy eyes and bad sinuses, oh, this baby was miserable. And my normally wonderful sleeper was no more.

I'm hoping that this is something he'll grow out of. The amazing thing is that by eliminating all diary from his diet, and giving his body time to heal, my good sleeper has returned. ♥ And a happy baby is all I need.

Anyhow, we hit the zoo again tomorrow!

Much love,
The Dolfos

(PS. If anyone's confused, I nanny for an amazing two year old named Carter. So I have two kids during the weekdays. We only have one boy, Makani... for now) :)
