green river...

my babies are sick...so sick. jackson has a river of snot flowing freely down his face at all times, he's just about lost his voice (which sounds ADORABLE!!!), and he has a barking/croup-y cough that sounds absolutely miserable. BOO church nurseries!!!!!! and DOUBLE BOO to parents who don't just stay home with snotty, cough-y kids!!! zoey doesn't go to church nursery, but has caught "the crud" anyway. she was beside herself with "what has happened to me?!?" ALL NIGHT LONG...with a matching river of snot. and of course they're both too young to take over-the-counter cold medicine...rats! so, let's just not think about how sick and miserable they are...

  • jackson managed to change the settings on our tv and it seems these changes are permanent. matt and i both spent well over 30 minutes trying to get things back to normal--even made a phone call to the cable company--no luck. matt was irritated...i was impressed...what a smart boy!!!

  • jackson is obsessed with going "bye-bye"...he asks, first thing, EVERY morning, "bye-bye??? bye-bye???" he won't stop asking until we "bye-bye"...and even then, when we're out and about, he still asks "bye-bye???" and i have to tell him THIS is "bye-bye" we ARE "bye-bye".

  • jackson is a climber...i find him in zoey's bed, on top of the changing table, and he's quickly learning that he only needs a little boost to make it almost on top of the kitchen counters.

  • he loves to read, he loves to make lucy bark, he loves to collect sticks/rocks/mulch/leaves, and he loves to DANCE!!!

  • zoey is an awesome sleeper and always wakes up with a smile...a smile that melts my heart...she is SO HAPPY to see me in the morning and after naps...such a boost when parenting frustrations seem overwhelming.

  • zoey has learned to roll from her tummy to her back...which is making the sleeping a bit more difficult because she is a tummy sleeper...shhh, don't tell the pediatrician that she sleeps on her tummy. but still, awesome sleeper!!!

  • zoey talks all day long. ALL. DAY. LONG. it is the most precious sound of my day. and this girl GIGGLES!!! GIGGLES like she knows what's funny...great personality AND great sense of humor??? can't get any better than my zu-zu belly!!!

the sickies will pass...i will forget all about the miseries of this week...but i do not want to forget the sweetness/cuteness/preciousness of these two littles that i am so lucky to have living in my house!!!


even when they are miserable little pickles...even when they are overflowing with snot...they are mine...happy, happy me!!!
