Cold or sick

Jonathon woke up this morning sounding hoarse.  By mid day he wanted to sit down and watch a movie.  He never stops all day long so I knew he was under the weather.

After watching 2 Tom and Jerry Movies he perked up a little bit and played with his hot wheels track some.

Dinner he did not finish.

After dinner before bed snack...he did not want.

He helped me pick up his toys, get his pajamas on and get a drink, go potty, brush teeth.  He climbed into bed, hugged his kitty and went off to sleep.

No bedtime story either.

I'm getting concerned.  He has had 2 sinus infections in the last 2 months.  One early November and one end of December.  I know that his tubes were finally falling out.  When he was diagnosed in Dec with a sinus infection he had wax build up so the pediatrician could not see in there.  He prescribed ear drops for him.

I think it's time to call Dr. Ears (ENT) and see what's up.

He also has been giving me signs of other things.  Noises are bothering him again.

He does not like the vacumn again
He does not like some power tool noises
He does not like his shower.  this is a big heads up.  Took me a couple weeks to put it together.  He has been swimming for over 2 years with Miss Maggie(swim instructor) and he loves the water, he jumps off the deep end and goes under.  He will NOT let me rinse his hair anymore.  He literally freaks out and starts flailing all over throwing his hands in the air.  I have to tip his head back. It's gotta be....those tubes are gone!

I am hoping he does not come down with a full blown sickness and miss school. School starts back up on Monday.

I will definitely be calling Dr. Ears on Monday.

Rest well little one!!!!

Winter fun

First time out this year in the snow!

Snow Angel

DID IT!!!!
What an accomplishment for Jonathon....Last year he would have never just sat in the snow let alone make a snow angel!!!!!  Awesome job buddy!

Going for a sled ride.

Tiny dog waiting on the sidelines!  Miss Florida does not like deep snow....

On top!  with Andrew

HI!

OOPS....fell

Pull Andrew....Pull

Andrew has been the best big brother always!  Jonathon loves him very much and they both enjoy spending fun time together!  Thank you Andrew for being a great person and brother!!!

Vacation ending

Tomorrow is friday already.  The boys will be going back to school on Monday.  It has been a long Christmas break.

Jonathon has enjoyed his new toys very much and I am sure he will be missing them when he goes back to school.  Jonathon still asks me daily about school.  He loves school.  And mommy is ready for the 3 to head back too.

I will miss them the first few days I am sure, but then we will all be back into our routine of things and it will go smoothly.  Especially for Jonathon and I.  Our schedule never changes.

Jonathon still gets up at 6:30a.m. and still goes to bed at 7p.m.  Every once in a while I do try to change bedtime, but this is how it works best for Jonathon.  This is how it has been for 5 years.  I don't think I could sleep in if I was given the chance.  And yes I do miss sleeping in at times, but like I said, this is what works, so this is what we do.

Now the teens on the other hand.....they have been sleeping their day away and staying up half the night.  They might be a little grumpy on Monday morning.

We will enjoy the weekend!  Maybe it will warm up so we can go back out.

January 1 2013

Today we celebrated the new year by not doing anything.

Jonathon and I were up bright and early as usual.  I made him pancakes for breakfast with chocolate milk.  We sat together in a quiet, peaceful kitchen and ate together.

After breakfast he watched his new Ice Age Continental Drift movie while I cleaned up the house some.

We spent our day playing hot wheels, legos, Ipad learning, reading story books and watching movies.

His big brothers came up stairs and played legos and hot wheels too.

We were not able to go outside today.  Our temp never went over 22.

For New Years Day dinner...I made Jonathon french toast.  The rest of us had omelettes, sausage, and hasbrowns with milk.  Ended our day with some more stories and a yogurt smoothie!

Overall, a good first day to start the year off.

Santa

Jonathon went to the local mall today and had a visit with a very special person!

He let this person know what he wanted for Christmas.....

Hot Wheels.....

My little boy is growing up.

I can remember when I used to sit at home and get sad this time of year because Jonathon was not able to go out and see Santa.

I love these very important days.....

Wonderful memories ....

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that my children are healthy.

I am thankful that I was able to afford to put in a new furnace this year.

I am thankful that I was able to afford to put in a new hot water heater this year.

Field Trip Today

to Upland Farms!  It was a perfect day to head out to the farm with the rest of the students.  It was a little foggy in the morning, but our temps started out in the low 60's and by the time we finished up at the farm it was beautiful and sunny out.  I believe it got up to 72.

Here are a few pictures to share.
