Eye hurts

I was able to get a few more presents wrapped last night.  If I can get a few done each night I should be done by the weekend.

Erin and I each had to get up once during the night to give Carter a paci so that he would go back to sleep.  Aubrey woke up at 3:30 so I got up and fed her before taking a shower and getting ready for the gym and work.  Calvin and Brayden were much easier to get ready this morning than yesterday. 

When Erin got Carter up she noticed that he had gunk in his eye.  Then when we got Brayden and Calvin up we noticed that they both had an excessive amount of crusty stuff on their eyes.  Calvin said "eye hurts mama".  It would appear that all the boys have pink eye.  I'm certain they got it from daycare again.  Oh well.  Fortunately we still had some eye drops from the last time they had pink eye.  We put drops in everyone's eyes this morning before sending them off to daycare.

The daycare lady didn't mind watching them even though they have pink eye.  Erin put in a prescription for more drops and picked them up today during her lunch break.  I went to the Post Office during my lunch break to drop off some Christmas packages.

When I picked up the kids today they were all quite happy.  On the way home the boys were talking about "Lion King", "Simba", "Christmas tree on TV".  This makes us think they are watching TV at daycare.  We still don't let them watch TV at home.  They never ask to watch TV at home so that's a good thing.  We would prefer for them not to watch TV at daycare, but I guess a little bit won't hurt them.  They'll be exposed to it eventually.

The boys didn't eat any of their dinner tonight.  Calvin wanted Frito chips and Brayden wanted chocolate chip muffins.  Then Calvin asked for water and chocolate milk.  So I gave him both and he was double fisting.  He would take a drink of water and then a drink of chocolate milk.

Brayden and Calvin aren't too fond of getting drops in their eyes.  We have to do this for another six days.  I suppose it beats the alternative.  I have to hold them down while Erin puts the drops in their eyes.  At least they get over it quickly.

They were much fussier than normal tonight when we put them to bed.  They have been crying a bit the past few nights so we have been going in to their room to try to appease them so they will go to sleep.  Tonight we figured that we would let them cry until they went to sleep.  After about thirty or forty minutes Erin decided to go check on them.  It was the right thing to do after that amount of time.  We'll see how they do tomorrow night.
