We've just made it through another busy week. Arley didn't get his Invisalign appliance because since he had the tooth pulled and his mouth scanned for the appliance, his teeth have moved, and it didn't fit! The good news is that his teeth have moved in the right direction, which means that his tongue is finally doing what it is supposed to be doing. I have since found out that the first ten days of Invisalign aren't very fun, so I am a little happy that it is postponed for two weeks, as we are taking a small vacation this coming Thursday. We are taking the kids down to the Gold Coast for three nights, with a day spent at Wet 'n' Wild. The kids can't wait. I'm a little stressed about it as I have to figure out how to feed us, and where we can eat out. We are staying in a cabin that has a kitchen, so at the very least, we will be cooking like at home.
On Tuesday morning we went up for our private Taekwon Do lesson, and Arley had his best lesson yet. We were shocked, and when Mr Kelly asked him what had changed, Arley told him that I said I would beat him if he didn't try his best, and then he turned to me and said totally deadpan, "Your secret is out." Thank God Mr Kelly knows me better than that! But Arley really did have a great lesson. Carmie got nauseous halfway through and had to go back to the car.
Carmie has been nauseous like this a lot for the last few months. She also gets really light-headed and gets tummy aches. I took the kids to the paediatrician on Thursday, and she is getting a bunch of tests done on Carmie to figure out what is going on. She is getting more blood drawn next week, as well as an ultrasound on her belly. I'm hoping they find out what it is, because she doesn't have much energy these days, and it often stops her from enjoying her activities. By the same token, though, I hope it's as simple as dehydration! Carmie has enough on her plate, and I don't need another thing to worry about!
Arley went out with Chayse to the local swimming pool yesterday, and had a blast. At the same time, Carmie and I were swimming together in our pool at home, because we don't get to spend one on one time together doing fun things much anymore, as Arley always needs to join in. I don't blame him, but sometimes it's nice to do things just with my girl. I get one on one time with Arley all the time, he loves hanging out with his mum :)
The weather has been very oppressive lately, but we are getting through it with lots of pool swims. We still haven't gone out much, which means I don't have any photos again, except for one of Carmie on one of our many car trips. There will be many more photos after our mini vacation next week!
