Feeling Better and Having Fun

The antibiotics are kicking in and both of the boys are starting to feel better. Eli is finally getting his appetite back and they both have energy to play. I am so glad this round of antibiotics seems to be working the only downside is that the boys need to stay out of the sun while they are on this medicine. That means we have to stay inside for 10 days. 3 days down, only 7 more to go. We had been taking daily walks to our neighborhood playground, sometimes twice a day. Both boys are already going a little stir crazy. Eli has asked several times to go outside and Jude keeps looking out the back window and pointing. So I decided we would have to find other ways to keep us busy. :-)
Yesterday me and Eli built a fort in our living room with blankets and couch cushions. Both boys thought it was pretty cool until they realized that I took the cushions off the couch and that they could climb and jump on it. Eli did eventually get bored with the couch and then he had a blast in the fort.

Jude was thrilled that he could climb on the couch by himself!
I think this picture is hilarious, Mike saw it and said "you allowed them to do that"Jude had so much fun climbing!!Such a big boy!

The fort was fun, even when it collapsed!

Today we went a different route. Since the boys had been on the antibiotic for 48 hours and were doing much better I decided to take them to the library. This was actually the first time I have taken the boys to the library. Eli was more interested in being able to walk around and look at everything then he was in picking out some books. Both of the boys liked looking at the fish :-) I did finally get Eli focused on the books and we came home with a book about Dinosaurs playing soccer and a book about a polar bear and a penguin.

Eli thought this chair was pretty funJude loved the fish!

Both boys are definitely starting to feel better, but we still have our not so great moments. Eli's moods are all over the place. One minute he is fine and then all of a sudden he is in the worst mood. I know it is just because he still isn't feeling the best. Hopefully he will be back to himself soon.
