Milk and Sleeping

Since Ronan got sick a week or so ago, some of his personality was shown. that boy does NOT want to be alone when he's sick. and that means sleeping...every night for the last week or so, he's crawled up into his brothers bed to sleep with him. now we're just putting him to bed with zander. zander swears that ronan keeps him from having bad dreams...he even told his friend noah that if he let his little brother isaiah sleep with him, he wouldn't have nightmares. :) so far they've actually been sleeping and zander has finally conceded to let ronan play with his hair. i wish i could sneak in there and take a picture of them sleeping together.
little jade has had a struggle this last week with switching over to milk. she was on soy formula due to a possible allergy when she was just a few weeks old. her whole head broke out in a rash while on milk formula. so when we switched her to whole milk at a year, well....we were met with crying fits. not fun. for two nights right after dinner she started just bawling uncontrollably and scrunching up like her stomach was bothering her. it was very unnerving cause jade is not a big crier. so the doctor and my mom said to switch her back to her normal formula and wait till she was done with her cold and then try carton soy. almost 24 hours later she was fine. sooo...who knows. she has eaten cheese, yogurt, and a few other dairies with little to no effects. (btw i'm watching new moon while writing this so it could be full of typos and other mismatched thoughts!) today we went to get jade's blood drawn to test for milk allergy and anemia. she may still be too young to show a positive to the milk allergy but at least if she does test positive then i'll know. anyways, her veins were too small and the lady at the lab poked until i though i was going to puke. so she sent us over to the hospital lab where they were able to get it no problem. but by then jade was freaking out cause she knew they were going to hurt her! i had to lay on top of her to keep her still while they drew the blood. it was AWFUL! my little baby screamed and screamed and just looked so sad and distressed. awful awful awful. even the boys were upset by her crying and kept coming over and trying to comfort her! poor things....
we're almost done with the kitchen stuff. still have to do the backsplash and some painting...but it's useable and that's good!
i also did some pictures for a friend of mine recently and here's some of the better ones.
