Always Sick!

Well Bekah's fever finally went away! But the next day she started to develop a rash. I took her back to the Dr and discoved she had Roseola which is why her fever got up to 105 degrees. Poor little girl had a double ear infection and Roseola at the same time. It was a rough 3 weeks for her let me tell you. She still is not done either. She now seems to have a horrible diaper rash that we cannot get rid of. We will call the Dr tomorrow to see if we can get something to help that. We also think that now she has poison ivy all over her back and bottom. She must have gotten it from me after working at our land cleaning up all the brush. Poor thing. Even though she has been so sick she has been changin so much. She is crawling everywhere and getting into everything! Her favorite thing is paper! She loves to chew on it like bubble gum! She also started pulling herself up this week. She is so active and happy! She always has a smile for you and loves to play in the playroom for long intervals at a time. She also loves it when Ryan lays on the floor. She crawls as fast as she can over to her and gets her hair. Ryan hates it when Bekah touches and pulls on her. We just laugh! Bekah is just so enthralled with Ryan we think it is so cute.
Ryan ended up getting Bekah's Roseolla which is not surprising. She didnt seem to get it quite as bad but she did have a rough 2 days and 2 other days she was very whinny. We are just glad the fever is gone and she seems to be healthy again. We are still struggling to potty train her. She understands it all but refuses to use the potty. She just pees on the floor and doesnt care at all! We are so frustrated beyond belief. I have no choice but to put her back in diapers. She hates diapers but that doesnt seem to be enough for her to use the potty. She can be so defiant. There are times we spank her 5 or more times for the same thing and she just doesnt care. How do you respond to that. I personally get so mad at her I just want to scream! Our other battles with her are staying in bed at night and playing with her food at dinner. The frustrating thing for us is that she is so smart and can be so sweet but then outright defiant! I pray that God gives us the answers we need to help our little Ryan be more obedient. Give us wisdom on when to discipline and when to just let it go. Also, to enjoy the fun, cute, and sweet moments while they are happening!

yea! you started a blog :)it sounds like you have had so much sickness to deal with in your household...you somehow manage to sound upbeat nonetheless! your girls are sooo cute without a doubt! one thing i've realized is parenting is so much different than i envisioned it...especially dealing with the "defiance" part! i've realized how judgmental i used to be now that i'm watching my own child act out! it can be so tricky to have perspective...even harder i think when you are home all day! but you are one amazing mom...i'm amazed at how well you are doing with two little ones! its so good to hear about your life!!
