New Do

Got a new haircut today....looking so grown up!

Lots Going on

Whew....it's been busy. And most of that busy is Thomas talking. I promise he talks from the time he wakes up until the time he goes to sleep. And to think that at one point we worried he didn't have as many words as we thought he should. Ha - he has way more than he needs right now :-)

We had a great visit with Gammie and Pop....Thomas told everyone at the doctor's office yesterday that they had to go home, but he'll see them soon.

Yes, you saw that right - the doctor's office. Thomas is back on antibiotics...he lasted 4 days without 'em, then up all night Sunday with a fever. Double ear infections AGAIN. I'm calling the ENT today...I suspect tubes are in our future. He's been great and is a brave little boy.

Aaron, where are you?

Thomas loves loves loves his cousin Aaron. When we put Thomas to bed at night, we'd hear a little voice....."Aaron, where are you?" Every plane that went over head yesterday was Aaron's and today on the way to school he was asking again, "Where's Aaron?" We had a great visit and Thomas loved the attention.

More antibiotics

Thomas and I headed to Dr. Sells today for his ear checkup - to make sure the infection and fluid were all cleared up from his last ear infection at Christmas. He's been back at school for 3 days last week, so of course he has another cold, but is doing okay and has no fever. Turns out.....nope.....infection and fluid still there and he's on another round of antibiotics. One more time and she sends us to the ENT. No wonder he keeps talking about water in his ear and waking up yelling in the middle of the night every night.

I'll sleep when he's a teenager :-)

Snow Day!

The snow started and we got excited!

It just kept snowing and we kept checking....

Ahhhh....school's canceled......

Thomas checks it out.....what is that?

Playing in the snow.....with wind chills at 0, we couldn't stay too long LOL!

Ready for Snow

Thomas now loves his hat, gloves and "big jacket" (in quotes because he says it with a really deep voice). According to his teacher they had a very abbreviated outside time today given that it wasn't quite 20 degrees yet. I can't even imagine trying to get seven 2 year olds in this kind of get up and then take them outside to play. Those teachers deserve a raise!

If it really snows here on Thursday we are ready....unless of course we lose our heat. Then I lose my mind- hahahaha!

Brrrrrrr

Really? This is Georgia? We are freezing! Tom started back to school today, I start back tomorrow teaching again and Thomas is back in preschool. Mostly I just want to layer on the clothes and snuggle with the space heater.

We had to do the mad scramble the last couple of days searching for gloves to fit a 2 year old. No easy feat, but Walmart saved the day! I will try to get a picture of Thomas in all his gear - it's pretty funny and a little daunting getting him crammed in the car seat. But, his teacher emailed all the parents today and said they would try to get outside at least for a few minutes, so bundle them up. It might have gotten up to 20 degrees by the time they hit the garden (that's a playground when you go to a Waldorf School).

We've also discovered that our house is seriously lacking in insulation- top and bottom. Happy New Year to Lowe's - we're investing in insulation and Tom will be coming back over and over to get this house warmer!

Happy New Year!

Have a happy and healthy 2010!
