What we're doing and saying now

Tristan rolled over from tummy to back today for the first time and I got to see him to it-- yay! He was all smiles when he saw me cheering afterward. He's been working on it for a while but finally did it today. He is such a good boy- laid back and mild mannered for the most part. When he talks or whimpers he reminds me of a little lion cub.

Jordon's vocabulary has grown by leaps and bounds. The other day I was taking him to daycare, and he told me, "Mamo, I don't like fire drills. (It's true, they have them often at daycare and they scare him). Then he went on to say, "fire drills need to go home". In church last Sunday, I told him the name of the priest was Father Bruce- he said "looks like Santa". He also keeps saying "Santa's gonna bring me more presents"... to which we say, "not till the end of the year, if you're good". He's done really well with potty training, and now wants to go poop "by myself". He also likes to help in the kitchen with things like making cookies, or anything that allows him to "dump" ingredients into a bowl and mix.

We are finally recovering from a rough last couple weeks with Jordon having a fever and cough, which led to vomitting a few times at night. On a routine f/u appt. with the ENT doc, she found that both tubes are now out of his ears and he had an infection in one ear and fluid in another, so we're back to that routine of antibiotics and possibly a need for more tubes to be placed. We had hoped he would outgrow this since he's almost 3, but doesn't look like that will happen- he's got his Dad's ears. Tristan has had bronchiolitis, and so he's had a bad cough, wheezing, fever and lots of snot. Don and I both took turns staying home with them last week. It was helpful that we had some snowy weather that closed schools so Don was going to be home anyway some of those days. We've had the nebulizer fired up and both boys have been getting breathing treatments. I'm glad they're both doing much better now!
