Jonah - I got a text from our sitter on Tuesday while I was at work saying that he was complaining of an earache and a headache. This didn't surprise me as he has had a bad lingering cough from a cold awhile ago. I told her to see if he would take some Tylenol. Now, getting J to take tylenol is just about impossible. He hasn't taken it since before he turned 2 years old and even then we had to force it into him. Somehow, our sitter got J to take it but then texted again saying that he had thrown up. I figured it was just a one-time thing related to the Tylenol as he threw up ibuprofen the few times he took it around 18 months. Nope. Vomiting continued. J kept nothing down for the rest of the day yesterday. He slept terribly last night and woke up this morning feeling better but still not wanting to eat or drink much. He still complained of a headache and earache during the morning. I finally convinced him to take some Tylenol mixed in with applesauce. He got a piece of chocolate and a full length movie in return. After the movie, he took a 3 hour nap. And, since then, our typical Jonah has returned. From the time he woke up until he went to bed tonight I think he was trying to make up for everything he missed talking about in the last day and a half. Hopefully, he will wake up in the morning with his normal appetite and feeling better since it is his birthday!
Silas - He earned his BIG potty training prize yesterday! With both of the boys we have had them work toward a big reward by staying accident-free for a good period of time. For Silas, it was 2 weeks with no accidents to get his prize - a Leap Reader. He has been so motivated to earn his reward! And, finally on Tuesday he met his 2 week goal. We are so proud of him!
Lydia - Little sister has been working on her molars lately making her a little more on edge. :( But, she is still her sweet self and I love each day seeing how she is growing into a beautiful little girl. Lydia has liked playing with my wedding ring since she was just an itty bitty baby. This morning, I put it on her finger and she just beamed! It was so precious! This afternoon, I had a huge laundry basket of socks to match. When I stepped out of the room for a second, somehow Lydia managed to find the matching pair of her favorite socks...Halloween ones from Grandma. She brought them to me to put on her. Then, she sat in between me and the basket and handed me a few socks at a time as I paired them. Is this what little girls are like? Loving to wear Mommy's jewelry and help with household chores? It is SO different from our boys. It is amazing to me to see firsthand how wonderfully different God created boys and girls and has placed different thoughts and desires and motivations into their hearts!
