Whew!

I'm so glad the cold appears to be minor. Natalie went to her first Thursday morning therapy session today (we'll be going to the clinic twice a week now) and did fine, and Lukas and Konrad just have slight runny noses. So far I'm still healthy. Tom still has a little sore throat.

We went to the library while Natalie was in therapy and I tried to nurse Konrad while Lukas read books...or that's what I thought would happen. Instead, Lukas was more interested in climbing on the play features that reading the books. He kept on saying, "I don't know those books." I guess he gets a lot of comfort from all the books we have at home...but now that I think about it, he does "read" the stories to himself, but he can only do that because we've read the stories to him a million times. Maybe he doesn't want to read new stories because he can't read them to himself. I need to work on this...I've been slacking off on going to the library because we have so many books at home (and because of lack of time).

Konrad was not comfortable in the position I had to sit in to nurse him, and didn't nurse well, so I need to rethink that. And then he had a huge diaper blow out and of course the spare clothes were in the car diaper bag, which was with Natalie at the clinic (in case she needed a diaper change while she's there).

I'll get it figured out one day, but today was a hard day, between Lukas not doing what I expected, Konrad not doing what I expected, and Natalie's PT giving me a new thing for her to practice on at home over the weekend (thankfully she helped me take it to the car when I said I needed to take two trips).
