We had quite a busy little week last week. Dylan got sick with a really high fever. I called a Dutch Dr (the one recommended by our relocation sponsor), and the nurse told me not to give him Tylenol, that his fever needed to come out, and when he has his fever for 3 days I can bring him in. Meanwhile Dylan was screaming in pain, but not pulling at his ears or anything...just drooling alot. I wasnt ok with this nurse's advice. How could I just sit and let my baby scream in pain for 3 days and do nothing?! She's out of her MIND! (Obviously she doesnt have kids), so I called Chris shaking and crying. I KNEW something was wrong with him. He talked to his coworkers and got the name of another clinic. I called them and they said it's good that his fever came down (from over 102 to 100.4), but if it gets back up, bring him into the after hours clinic. A few hours later he wakes from his nap and his temp is even higher (39.5F), so I call SMASH (the after hours place). The nurse is speaking Dutch, so I say "Do you speak English?" (I was freaking out....pretty frantic) and the lady says "Dont you speak Dutch?" "No I just moved here!" The NERVE of some people....especially when I'm in mommy freakout mode...lol. So I tell her his symptoms, which he doesnt have many...just a really high fever and drooling...so she says "Well, what do you want to bring him in for? Just the fever and drooling? It's probably teeth." NO! IT'S NOT! HE JUST CUT A TOOTH!!! IT'S NOT HIS TEETH!! So I make an appointment for about 2 hours later and get Dylan some Tylenol and in the tub. At first he was screaming and his little body turned purple (it wasnt a cold bath either!), but then he stop screaming and started splashing a little. Got him out and dressed and when Chris got home, I took Dylan to the clinic. His ears looked great, but his throat was red. I just needed to keep giving him Tylneol for the fever and sore throat and watch him. She said there were a bunch of viruses going around. He had the fever for about 3 days, and now he seems ok. Usually when the kids spike high fevers like that with no other symptoms, it's Roseola, but he doesnt have a rash or anything now. I dunno. Maybe it was just a little 3 day virus. I havent looked at his throat again.
Thursday night we had a parent's conference at Alexa's school. We got to meet the teacher and the other parents. I think she's really going to enjoy it there. She loves going to school. She's the only American in the school though. There are a few British, Canadian, Turkish, Malaysian, and Czech kids, and she's the only American...lol. I'm looking forward to her learning things from different cultures!
Friday we had to be at Immigration at 9am. Boy that was fun. We cant get anywhere at 9am on our own, let alone with the 2 kids...lol, but we got on the bus (late of course) and started our journey. We got in there and there were markers and coloring pages all over the table, so Alexa was a little Princess! she was really good....until I pulled out my gum. Then she wanted a piece (she never gets gum) and she lost it. So homeward bound, I had to take the kids back with me by myself because Chris had to go to work. People on the bus were very helpful!
Saturday we interviewed a babysitter. She's a live in nanny for 2 girls that go to school during the day. She's from Poland and she's working on her dissertation in Mathematics. She came over at 11 and as soon as she walked in the door, Alexa gave her a big hug. That's always a good sign, right? So we talked with her about 30 mins and went and ran a short errand (went grocery shopping) and came back. She was great with the kids! Alexa drew a bunch of pictures with her and had a really good time. We have gotten really lucky with babysitters/nannies.
Yesterday we went to the Plein/Grote Markt and went shopping for a few things and had lunch...like we do every Sunday. I got a new card for my camera and it works now!! YAY!!! So I took a few pictures. I also got 2 pairs of jeans and 2 sweaters. They were having really good sales this weekend. Oh, and Alexa got a bobo. There is a huge L shaped wooden bench where we sat (there were probably 5 tables on it) and she was running up and down the bench (we were the only ones sitting on it, and it was outside anyway), and she cut her hand on the wood. Luckily I had my antibacterial wipes. I stuck one on her hand. It bled for a long time (because of the alcohol), but the waiter got her a bandaid and then she had to tell everyone about it....lol.
That brings us to today. We are hanging out, cleaning the house and doing some laundry. Pretty boring stuff :)

I've got a minute
Things have been quite busy the past few days. Sunday we enjoyed a beautiful (well, rainy)day of shopping and having lunch in the Plein/Grote Markt. It's a nice little shopping area, but it reminds me of all of those pictures you see of the streets of like Tokyo. Just shop after shop, pavestone walkways, TONS of people, kinda dirty too. The kids had a nice peaceful day too, though it was quite cold and rainy. I got a new coat. It's beautiful. Dylan got 2 coats since I overestimated his size. I thought he'd be in 12 mo clothing by now, but he's really starting to thin out, so we're still in 9 mo clothing.
Alexa was supposed to start school at Tasid yesterday, but once we found the house we wanted, we decided that a 30+ minute drive would not do. Plus, they only had room for her Tuesday/Thursday, which was ok, but we immediately started searching for a school near the new house and found The British School of the Netherlands was right around the corner. Plus, they are building a new campus, opening in January, that is really close. We went in yesterday for a tour and it's PERFECT! They follow the same principles and teaching methods that I like (the group rotation, where at Tasid they all had to sit and do things together). Of course Alexa walked right into the room and started playing with everything, so they said she wont have a problem fitting in at all. She's one of the smallest kids in the class though, which is weird because about 2 months ago she was almost 30 lbs and over 37 in. They teach the kids to be more independent. As the years/semesters progress, they teach them to drink from a cup without a lid, to pour their own milk, butter their own toast, etc, as well as putting on their own clothes. Each child has to bring a raincoat and boots because they get to play out in the puddles during recess. This truly is the ideal pre-K. One of the pluses of this school is that she will get to stay there until we move. With Tasid, it's more like a daycare than a true school, but this is a school, through 11 yr olds (whatever grade that is). We got so lucky we inquired when we did because this week is the end of one of their terms. They dont allow admission during terms, but the new one starts November 3rd, after their break, so Alexa will start at her school November 3rd, which happens to be Dylan's birthday!
I cant believe my baby is almost 1! I'm going to cry! He is SUCH a joy and SUCH a happy baby. Totally opposite of Alexa, though she's teaching him some really bad behaviors. My goal this week is to either find somewhere that makes little cakes (or even a cupcake or 3), and if I cant find anyone, I'll try to find the ingredients (which has been unsuccessful so far, but if I set out ONLY looking for those things, I might find them). I havent talked to the family yet, but I have a cute little idea. Hopefully they will read this. When I get Dylan his cake and candle on his birthday, I'll set up my webcam and try to find a program where we can talk to a bunch of people at once.....like a conference call where they can sing happy birthday to him and see him blow out the candles and everything too. I'll keep everyone posted so yall can watch too, if you want. Oh, and guess what!?
WE'LL BE IN THE NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We got the phone call yesterday. We were also able to negotiate rent down for Shell..lol. We get to move next week!!! All of our stuff should be through customs by then, too. I am just beside myself excited! Everything is falling into place now. Alexa has a school that she will be able to stay in and make friends, we got the house, our things supposedly arrived yesterday, I am just so excited!! I want to go run around in circles!! LOL. I might do that later if it's not too cold or raining....and if Dylan wakes up ok. He felt a little warm when I put him to bed last night (after giving him Tylenol), and he cried out twice, but he's still sleeping now (at 10am, which isnt unusal for him). I might take him by the Dr today. We'll see. I have alot on my plate today. We just got the note to go to the Dr (well, Chris is supposed to have it today. We'll see), and I need to go for a followup from my surgery, and I might need to take Dylan in too. I need to get all of our medical records faxed over from all of the Drs too. I also need to get a thermometer (yeah I know....mommy of the year here). I found a babysitter online through an ex-pat site. She sounds wonderful. Right now she's a nanny for some school aged kids, but she's free during the day (while her kids are at school) and on the weekends, and at night. We are interviewing her Saturday. She has a degree, is certified in CPR, and sent pics of herself with some of the kids she has nannied. This is going to be great. If she works out, we will be able to take the language classes on the weekends, and possibly even have some time to ourselves! Going out to dinner with these 2 has been a very challenging task! Many places dont have high chairs. Alexa wont sit still in a chair/booth, and Dylan can't sit still. I did, however, take my scarf I had Sunday and use that as a "seatbelt" so help him sit in the chair without falling out. Gotta do whatcha gotta do, right?
Everything is going great right now. I'll keep yall posted on the website for Dylans birthday. Other than that, I'm out! Love ya guys!

We did it!
Ok, now things are really starting to sink in. We got Alexa in school. Now we found our house. Here it is.. http://www.funda.nl/huur/rijswijk-zh/huis-74795644-park-de-wervelaan-23-s-m/fotos/#foto-1
We just have to do a few negotiations about furniture, and since it's vacant, we'll be good to move in! Yesterday was very hectic. We were supposed to meet the agent at the first house at 9am. Well, Dylan doesnt usually wake up until 10am, so I let him sleep until 8:30, fed him something quick, and in the car we went. Boy was he grouchy trying to get there! He's going through a nasty phase where he doesnt wanna do anything that's not his idea...lol. Alexa was a little more cooperative. She enjoys getting out and looking at houses. We got outta here at 8:45. We knew we were gonna be a little late, but didnt expect the surprise we got....a draw bridge!!!! We had to sit and wait in traffic for this boat to go through....and it was a regular street....nothing spectacular. There are canals everywhere around here, but I had no idea they were actually navagable! Pretty cool. So we get to the house. Traditional Dutch house. Nothing special. Built in the 1900s. Upstairs, the rooms were connected by french doors. The 2 rooms on the 2nd floor connected and the 2 rooms on the 3rd floor connected. Just what we need, Alexa keeping Dylan up, or vice versa, and us keeping 1 of them up. So that house was a definite NO. Then we get to the second house. When you walk in, there's a huge mirrored closet. The real estate agent and Chris almost walked into the mirror. It made the place look HUGE, and it was a gorgeous place, so it was a close second (next to the white house). We almost quit there. Alexa was screaming because she wanted to run up and down all of the stairs, and they are Dutch stairs....very dangerous, so we kept telling her No. We had to end up dragging her out of the house. Then we decided we werent doing this anymore! We didnt see anything we fell in love with like the white one. The RA wanted to show us this last one. We walk in and it's so open and airy. Everything's really bright and white, and there are windows everywhere. It actually felt like "home" when you walked in. We talked for a minute weighing our options. There's not a huge backyard, but there's enough for Alexa to play around in. Across the walkway, you can see our neighbors backyard (it backs up to ours) and they have a ton of toddler toys. That was our selling point. With the white house, we would have no neighbors, and apparently it's in a bad part of the city? I dunno. But here it's like a little townhome subdivision, so we'll have neighbors, and they obviously have kids, so that'll be great for all of us. We told the RA to go on with the paperwork, so we shall see :). After all of this house shopping, we had to get our bank cards from the bank at Chris' office. Then we went and looked at another house, and went grocery shopping. We finally found a grocery store that wasnt ridiculously outrageous. They had little shopping carts for the kids to push around too. OMG I shouldve known that was gonna be a nightmare! Alexa kept running into people, and walking in front of them, but she does have enough manners to say "excuse Me" LOL. people thought that was cute. She wouldnt let us help her, and she wouldnt let us touch her cart, so the checkout was a nightmare too. She was standing in front of people ramming her cart around. When Chris grabbed her cart to stop her from hitting people, she would throw herself on the ground screaming. I was just beside myself. She will NEVER get a cart again. I keep telling Chris she doesnt mind because he doesnt make her, and he saw her true colors yesterday....finally. Hopefully things will be better once she starts school. I know I say that everyday. I'm really holding out hope.
Me, I'm doing better. The reality is really starting to set in that we'er not just on vacation. We are living here. It's a weird feeling....knowing we might not ever go back to where our families and friends are. I've never done anything like this before, so it's all new to me. It's been hard to adapt. We've been here for what? 3 weeks now? Ya know that show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" Going to live in a new culture with a different language kinda makes you feel like one of those people that miss one of the first questions. Everything is so different here than what I'm used to. Kilometers instead of miles (MPHs). I try to convert it in my head just so I can get an idea, but I'm clueless. That, and the temperature....it's in celsius. Many people dont know how to convert C to F. I do, but I dont want to have to do that. I just want to be able to say "Oh...it's 11 degrees outside....it's cold" and not "11 degrees...go look at the F thermometer...oh, that's about 52 degrees....it's cold" I know that's petty, and it will come in time, but I just dont feel comfortable here yet. Most people speak English, so that's really helpful, but I wanna learn Dutch! I wanna be able to communicate with these people in there own language, live the way they do, and think the way they think. It's just so hard having been taught a totally different way to do things. Oh well. It'll come. I've rambled on enough today. It's laundry day. Since the washing machine is the dryer too, and hardly anything fits in, this is going to be an all day event.

I promise
I promise I'll get out and buy a battery for my camera today.....as soon as Chris gets home. It's apparently pretty fried, even though the plug claims it's dual voltage. I'm gonna replace the batery and see if that's my problem. If not, I'll steal Chris' camera. I use it way more than he does. I just have to pry it away from him. Today has been rather uneventful. The kids are fighting, as usual, but timeout seems to be working well. I got real tears, so I think I'm finally getting through to her....I'm not taking her crap anymore. She threw a hard plastic ball at Dylan's head today. I told her to go to timeout and she shrugged her shoulders and said "I dont care." I went ahead and explained what "I dont care" means....AFTER she sat in timeout, so I think she DOES care...lol. I told her she's not getting "chances" anymore. she knows she's doing something wrong. I shouldnt have to reinforce the rules 500 times a day. If she hurts Dylan, she goes straight to timeout. No "Dont do it again." No warnings. Straight to the chair. She's so tired of being in this small apartment. She doesnt have anywhere to run around, and we live on a major street, so she cant just go outside and play. We do live across from a park, but it's more like a field.....just some grass.....and an ugly statue (I didnt even notice the statue until Chris pointed it out to me a few days ago and we've been here how long? LOL). Not sure what we aer doing for dinner. I'm tired of cooking. The kitchen is way too small. I cant even wash a cookie sheet in the sink! And the hot water burns my freezing numb hands! (Dont tell me to turn it down.....I know that, the hot water sterilizes things!) Speaking of hot water, I'll go off on one of my tangents.
I HATE the faucets here, whether it be showers or baths. You can feel the hot and the cold water mixing as it comes out, so in the shower, if you stand on one side of the water, it's cold, and the other side is hot. WTH is that?! Why is that happening and why has it never happened before?! I guess I always assumed it was warm water coming out, not just hot and cold mixed. UGH. Add it to my "Sucks" list.

Woo
1 down and 1 to go. Today has been such a hard day. Chris had to fly to London, so I was stuck here with the kids. Dylan woke up in a terrible mood, and Alexa, well, she's just being Alexa. Last night she told Chris I was being a bitch and today she's telling me "I dont care." You'll care when you sit in timeout for the rest of your life. (totally kidding). Every toy Dylan touches, she grabs from him, even if it's his. She hits him. He hits her. Everytime she walks past him, he start swinging at her. I am just so tired of the constant yelling and screaming between the 2 that I just PRAY for nap time.
We got Alexa into school yesterday. She'll be going Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-2. She's so bored. that was one of our first priorities. Now to the houses....we saw that white house yesterday and fell in love. Chris wants to lok at a few more, but I REALLY want this house. It has a big backyard! That's almost nonexistant here! Friday we will be going to look at more houses. Should prove to be fun. Dragging the kids through houses telling them not to touch anything sounds just like the day I want to have...lol.
I woke up this morning and it was FREEZING! It was 64 degrees in my house! I immediately turned the radiators on. I thought I was gonna die. It was SO COLD. Even Alexa sat bundled under my blanket until it started to warm up in here. At least it was a beautiful day. We cleaned and went for a walk to the grocery store. Nothing too interesting today. I REALLY hate having to go grocery shopping every other day. I cant wait until we move and I get a big fridge/freezer!!!
