+ We don’t take the kids out to dinner often, but we decided to try a new restaurant with them this week. They looked super cute and seemed up for the challenge, but it was such a cluster. Trying to entertain these two for the entire dinner and then when our food arrives, they are so over it. Instead, I’m sitting outside in the heat while Madelyn runs around on the back deck outside. One day we will learn….

We had tubes when our little was 10 months old and it has been amazing. She was getting ear infections every month and the medicine was starting to be too much on her little body. The worst part of surgery (for us) was one parent taking them back (I voted my husband to do this) and then the waking up part. Some babies do fine but our little was hysterical. The hours after she was very sleepy but was back to herself the next day.
My niece just had the same procedure (lucky for her, her dad is an anthesiologist and was able to "gas her" himself) but she was literally running laps in the house that afternoon! brody – and mama – will do great!
Thanks for the link up!
My Logan had tubes put in when he was 6 months old and it is scary, but so quick and so worth it! I think he was back in surgery for a total of 15 minutes and did really well. Recovery was quick and we've had no ear infections since!
I have such a picky eater too! Jack won't touch anything, its so frustrating. Graham is like Madelyn and will eat whatever is put in his face. I hope it continues! Ive been wanting to take jack to a trampoline park, I really think he would have fun! Im hoping they won't be as crowded once school starts back. I love that you match your babies! I'm all about some matching sets with my boys, its so cute! Going out to dinner with two kids is so hard Graham is usually great right until the food comes and then decides to melt down and cry..it's always a joy!
Happy Thursday!
I loved the Rumor! Isn't it crazy to have two kids and do basically the same thing with both and one is picky and the other not?!! I have 4 kids and both my boys are so stinkin' picky!
Oliver isn't a picky eater at all and to hear that if they aren't from the beginning they won't be, hopefully, is wonderful! Cait's son Rowan had to get tubes at a young so definitely talk to her!
Isn't is such a relief to have a good eater? It was always great knowing your kids were getting nutrients that they need when they were willing to eat! Good luck traveling to the mountains with the littles! It will be so worth it when you get there!

I could eat her with a spoon oh my gosh, those bows!
I cannot get over those sweet yellow and white outfits! Too cute! I just started an Elin book, too, Summerland. I have heard so many good things about her books, and so far it's pretty good, although a little more intense than I had anticipated. Can't wait to hear what you think about The Rumor! I believe that's in my library pile as well.
Oh. my. gosh. I don't even have a daughter, but I have to know where her little bubble is from because it is TO DIE FOR! Your babies are just adorable!
At least they looked adorable, though!
Oh my word, that last outfit you have on Madelyn is to die for!!!! She is so, so cute.
I'm obsessed with GoodReads! It's seriously a life changer!
What is GoodReads and why don't I have it? I'm so happy you have an easy eater, I dream of that!!!
I hope your trip with the kids goes well!! We're heading up there tomorrow actually!
Tubes were the best thing that happened to us! My little got them at 8 months and they made a world of difference. The surgery was so quick I didn't really have time to worry too much. The worst part was that he was hysterical coming off anesthesia but he was back to his normal self within the hour.
