Sunday...blandy Sunday...

Sadly my two boys are pretty sick today, although one's still up and chirpy, while the other's mooching in bed. Guess which one's which? ;-)

Aidan's got a slight fever, runny nose, and a chesty cough. EG is nursing a really bad headache - he says he's never had one this bad before (and being allergic to panadol, nurofen and whatever else is in the NSAID family doesn't help!) I guess this means I might have to miss little Adrienne's 1st birthday party today to take care of them - bummer! :-( We've already stayed home from church.

On a cuter note, A's vocabulary has been increasing exponentially (airplane, chicken porridge, wiggles, maht0 (tomato), cumber (cucumber), all with perfect enunciation!), as well as his ability to 'read'. He can point out Os in words, and recognise a few other letters. And since I've been sticking up labels on items in his room, we've been playing games like "Where's the word 'Bookshelf'?" and he'll run to point it out. He can also point out colours! Keep it up bubba!

The cutest thing he's doing lately is saying "Sorry". As in "Sorry, please excuse me". He'll try to scoot around his Dad or Uncle Jon or Uncle Jeremy and say "Sorry, Jon" or "Sorry, Jeremy", or even "Sorry, Percy" when his little Percy tank engine falls off his train track. Hilarious!! I'm just amazed he can use it in context. How terribly polite!

The bestest

Yay EG blogged!

I simply am very grateful for where I am right now.

Even though little bubba's running a temp and is crankier than a trapped possum, I'm still relaxed and happy. Why? Because I'm got the bestest husband (yes, gush) ever, who always does more than his fair share of taking care of the little prince. Especially since he's around heaps while we wait (the interminable wait!) for the new cafe to start up. And even though he suffers from horrible insomnia in the night and barely sleeps (usually at 5am!), he's still up and ready to care for Aidan when we need him. What a champ! Somebuddy's gonna get a great Father's Day trophy...

Between the three of us (me, EG and Ellie), this boy is simply PAMPERED! We cuddle him, kiss him, carry him, wipe his snot, clean his drool, feed him, dress him, bath him, change his diapers, play with him, pick him up when he's tired of playing, and sleep with him when he's sick.

Yes, co-sleep. Tonight will be the 3rd night one of us shares our bed with him (the night shift), while the other sleeps in the a separate room so they can care for him in the day. This fever and cold is taking quite a toll on all of us! I hope it passes soon...
