Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Everyone!

We kept Owen home from daycare on Thursday and Friday of last week. Wednesday night was a tough one for him. He had that terrible croup cough. Fortunately that was the only night he had that barky-cough. So we thought he was getting better!

Last night we went to Noodles, Owen's favorite, and he didn't eat as much as he normally does. So we took left overs home. Again, at lunch today, he didn't each much of his leftovers. He was laughing at me and I noticed that he has inherited his daddy's tonsils (and maybe Grandma Dianne's too). They were HUGE! So we went to Urgent Care. We got there at 1 and didn't leave until 3:30!!!!!!! Ugh. That is never fun when you have kids. Owen fell asleep by the time we actually saw the dr. He was so exhausted he didn't wake up during the exam. We had a Terrible dr. too. I would have never guessed she was a Peds dr. That just made the experience worse. Anyway, his swollen tonsils are issues mostly at night. The poor guy is snoring away because his airway is very constricted. He also has a slight ear infection. We just can't get around those this time of year. We went through the same thing with him last year at this time. No fun.

Will is really getting good control of his hands. Today Will even grabbed his toy hanging from his carseat handle! Every once in a while he enjoys sucking on his thumb. First finger wrapped around his little nose and everything. He is laughing more and more. I'm looking forward to the first time he laughs at Owen. He just loves Owen and Owen loves him back. Owen will go over to him and talk and Will just gets a huge smile on his face. Brotherly love can be so sweet! I'm going to milk all that I get now! Like my mom says, "What one doesn't think of, the other will!" Ugh. I'm in for a few surprises in my lifetime, no doubt.
