Knock on Wood

The sickness is over! I am not usually one to 'knock on wood', but after changing sheets, bathing J, and changing his pajamas three times throughout the night, I will do any of those things superstitious people do if it means the possibility of not having another night like last night for at least the next year!

He woke up before the sun (which is against the rules in this household!) but since he was sick, I let it slide.  He still had a fever, and had a little spit up after 3 bites of applesauce and a bit of toast, but since his nap, he has been perfectly fine-meaning he is back to tearing apart the house, terrorizing Abby, and chasing me all over the place!  

It was a warm afternoon, so we went out for some fresh air (for two hours!) After playing in the sand table for 40 minutes, I sat in the sun and read a book.  It was as relaxing as relaxing with a 20 month old (almost 21 month old) gets! 

After dinner (which he ate very little of) we played with toys and books. I told him it was time to clean up and go "night night" and he did! He put all of his toys in his toy box, put all of his books on his bookshelf, and even put the metal bowls he was playing with back into the cabinet he took them out of!  He also found a cup and put it in the sink.  My heart swelled with pride!

This has definitely been the slowest week since A left, but TT (Tiffany) and Jigsy (Jen) will be here on Sunday for a fun filled week!

Peak: Playing and Reading outside with J.

Pitt: The early morning

Andre Update: He called this morning to check in on "buddy" (as he calls him). I had e-mailed him last night to tell him that he was sick.  He seemed a little distracted, but he said it was just because he has nothing to talk about, his days are monotonous and he just wants to hear about us when he calls.  It's sweet, but makes for tough conversations sometimes (especially when all you have to talk about is vomit).  I completely understand though! Love you, babe!
