What a strange week

I remember having weeks back at home that I wanted a "do over." They didn't happen often, but there were "do over" days and sometimes weeks. It was a "do over" kind of week here.

Rewind to Christmas night. Luke started throwing up at the dinner table. It only just stopped two nights ago. This was cause for concern as it wasn't a normal sickness. He has been lethargic, little appetite at times, crazy huge appetite at others, and throwing up randomly over the course of 8 days. Those who have experienced the pristine, completely clean standards of a Singapore MRT station know that his throw up was probably NOT appreciated in the middle of the floor.

Anyway, long story short, he'll be going back to the doctor tomorrow. He's had some weird things going on since October and the wonderful doctor (I've never in my life encountered a doctor so caring and thoughtful) felt like we needed a second opinion, someone else to take in all that I've told her and all his symptoms. Would be lying if I said I wasn't worried - as a mom, that's my job and I'm really, really good at it.

The Dragon, I mean Drew, is adjusting to life without his Baba Milk. We are adjusting to a life of screams and digging-his-heels-into-the-ground walks to his bedroom. It is getting better. Baby steps. We know we are doing the right thing, we know we did this to ourselves by letting him have it for so long and I can completely see why parents just give in. Oh how life would be so much easier if he could JUST HAVE HIS BABA MILK! (Those who have/had little ones know how difficult these moments in life can be).

In the midst of bottle melt downs and throwing up in train stations, we have had some fun this week. We took the boys to an indoor play park and an indoor rock-wall climbing place. They loved them both and we, of course, loved seeing the JOY all over their cute little faces.

Notice Luke dressed them like twins. Spiderman shirts and red basketball shorts.

What was reeaallly fun is that Adam and I had to get our own selves through those rollers on the right. We're not 10 anymore. 

Cool indoor rock wall climbing place -  Luke LOVED it. Drew threw himself on the mats a lot 

I could just eat that face up. 

Took the boys over to school yesterday...they had the entire sandbox to themselves ...so fun

While I'd like a "do over" - it's not because it's been an awful week. It's just because no one has really been on their game, the weather hasn't been great and I had envisioned getting out to do more things. That said, it's important we get everyone healthy and we're lucky to have had the time to do so. Funny how we're across the world and we have weeks that leave us feeling the exact same way as we sometimes did in the states. 

Different day, different country, that's all.  

I have some great pictures to get on here from Phuket - and I will do that soon. Before work starts again.

We ARE VERY EXCITED about one new thing we learned today. We now get to come home for 51 days this summer! Work starts a week later than we thought next year, which gives us an extra week in the states. 51 days of the Mitchell's...get ready people!!!
