Christmas morning was entertaining. Joe kind of gets the concept of unwrapping presents and seemed to enjoy the whole thing. Rory as you can see was really interested in his presents but it was more in the paper then what was under the paper. He came around pretty quickly to playing with his new toys but at first he was kind of appalled with the idea that I had ripped off the pretty paper and had thrown it away.
We had a lovely Christmas morning at home relaxing and enjoying the boys playing with the toys. We packed up the troops and headed for Ballston Spa: Grandma and Grandpa's house in the early afternoon for a lovely dinner. (and of course more unwrapping as Joe was an expert by this time)
The week following Christmas was pretty uneventful, except for a nasty cold we've all managed to come down with. Ed and I had it before the holiday and the boys after. Poor Joe was quite ill last Sunday, he stayed on the couch all day with his blanket and pillow. Monday I kept him home from his first day of preschool as a precaution.
Tuesday was the first day of school. He was not thrilled with getting into his School bus(Mini van with car seats) but he did. Off he went, and mommy and daddy settled in for a very long day. I never knew 4 hours could pass so slowly. He got home a couple minutes before 2 in the afternoon. He was all smiles.
The rest of the week was not so smooth, by Wednesday afternoon his cold was back with a vengeance, but seemed to improve by bed time and there was no coughing all night long so he went to school Thursday morning. I got a call a little after ten and he was saying no or all done to everything and was a little warm to the touch. I popped in the car and went down to get him. By the time I got there he was happily playing with the other kids but his nose was so congested and he had that glassy fever eye thing going on so I took him home.
He was not thrilled at first until he got there and realized mommy was going to let him watch Cars, (If I never see it again it will be to soon, but I know that is just wishful thinking).
Any how he is upstairs sleeping peacefully while I am blogging at 3 in the morning because every time I lay Rory down flat he starts to fuss because he has the cold now and the mucous plugs his nose and runs down his throat. YUCK. Poor little man. He can only sleep in his high chair, it inclines back so he is not sitting straight up but he can breathe very easily.
Well I gotta run out some more wood on the fire. Happy New Years to everyone,
Love Nikki
