Life is nothing short than eventful at the Kalasek household these days. The past 2 weeks I was taking care of Brian and Easton who both got the flu, and then Benjamin who may or may not have come down with a case of the stomach bug. Then sadly last week we had to say goodbye to our cat Emma. Now I know people are either cat people or NOT cat people....well i am a BIG cat person. I have had Emma by my side for the past 11 + years. She was with me through some really hard times and even when she as a bit sassy towards others she was always cuddled next to me when it mattered. It was a very hard decision to make and I did not take it lightly. Unfortunately in her older age she had started using our house as her liter box and hissing at Easton more and more (granted Easton loved chasing her around and grabbing her tail whenever he could) We spent lots of time discussing with our vet and this was the better choice for our family and in the end for Emma as well. It was a really rough day and Brian took the day off work and was by my side through it all. Although she wasnt always his favorite family member he was sad to see her go too! God Bless you Emma and thanks for being such a great companion to me!!!!!!!!!!
Benjamin Lately: He is still an eating machine. Not so much a pooping machine so I have to help simulate that act quite frequently. Easton had similar issues. Whatever muscles that are used to actually poop these boys have a hard time maneuvering. His milk sensitivity seems to be getting much better. I know this because I have cheated on my diet a bit in the past and it hasnt seemed to affect him. He still gets up around every 3-4 hours to eat during the night, however last night he went on a 6 hour stretch for me which was awesome. It wouldve been even better if I could fall back asleep at the drop of a hate like Brian can. I woke up around 1am like clockwork ready to feed him and he was still sleeping so instead of falling back asleep the wheels in my brain start spinning and I was up until 3am when he actually work up to be fed. My tiredness this morning can be blamed on me instead of lil Ben :) Although he is still our lil grumpy dude he has started smiling and even giggling now. Easton can get him to smile and then exclaims "mama he smile at me" Usually after Easton gets him to smile he does something like grab his nose or forcibly tickle him and the smile turns into a lil cry. Baby steps for these two brothers!
