Mice and Teething Diapers

Well, it's been pretty eventful these past few days. Jack has got to be getting one of the last set of molar's. It's been intense, diaperwise. The kid is a champ when it comes to pain. He's truly a tough guy. The only sign (besides the diapers) that he's been exhibiting that he's probably teething is that he's been waking up SUPER early. Before 6 o'clock early.... and getting out of bed and playing. I've finally been going into his room and telling him to close his eyes and rest. That lasts all of 30 minutes, then it's back up and play time (at least it's after 6 by this time). This morning I walked into his room to get him ready for school and I was literally almost stiffled by the smell. Not normal dirty diaper smell......teething diaper smell. He looked at me from his book and said, "Mama, Jack Jack stinky. PEEE HEWWWWWW!" I informed him he was correct and got down to business. Not pretty, but, it could have been worse.

On the Maren front, she's now a rolling over phenom. Which means, middle of the night rolling is as good as anytime and she's really fond of sleeping on her stomach now. While this worried me to begin with, I remembered when Jack started doing this. It's time to also take my sweet girl out of her sleep sack. Both of my babies loved their sleep sack until it became wrapped around their legs and feet. So, time for lots of warm jammies and light blankies.

Now for the mouse. Stuart Little, he was not. He was a little, brown, run of the mill field mouse who made a home in my kitchen for a day. EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! If I had seen him on TV, he might have been cute. But, the thought of him running around in my house in the middle of the night was nausea inducing. Todd, master of the mouse trap, Diefenderfer bought some spinner traps and set them up around the house. And do you know, by the time I came home the tiny brown invader was deceased in the mouse trap nearest where I saw him that morning. I think the best thing about those traps is that you can't see a thing. The arrow basically points to "occupied" and you toss the whole thing. No muss, no fuss. Not that you all wanted to know the gory details, but, this was a big event for me. Glad at least Todd got a good laugh...
