Noah's First Illness

It has been an interesting few days. Noah had his first illness.  Poor baby! He's had a runny nose for a couple weeks and started coughing so we took him to the dr on Thursday and got some medicine.  Of course he never actually coughed for the dr, but smiled and looked cute.  Also I found out he now weighs 16lbs 8 oz.  Joshua was a very good boy sitting in the guest chair and reading books.  He was so good that he was given a sticker.

Then around 5pm on Friday afternoon, Joshua got pinkeye. (I noted the time because that is when the doctor's office closes.)  Anyway he suffered through the weekend with the nasty, goopy eyes so I called the dr's office to get an appointment first thing Monday morning and instead they called in some drops. Yea!  I really need to get the boys to start synchronizing their illnesses so we can make better use of our time.  ;)

Mommy and her boys

Now for the cute stuff...
* We were in the car listening to Christmas music and "What Child is This" came on the radio.  Joshua misunderstood the words and started singing "What Time is it?"  Matt and I had a good laugh over that.
* I recently got my hair cut and styled differently.  When I came home Joshua told me "Mommy, you pretty like Tinkerbell."  It just melted my heart.  Also special props go to daddy for the minor coaching involved in getting him to compliment his mommy.
* Joshua was not feeling well over the weekend, but was still getting into the Christmas spirit when we went up to his daddy and said "Ho! Ho! Hold me!"
* Joshua LOVES singing and has the following songs in his play list "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Jingle Bells," "Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer" as well as some songs on our Veggie Tales Christmas cd.   
* Both boys had classroom parties at their play school and I have photographic evidence that both were smiley for Santa.  Joshua appears to have been bribed with a ball, but he was still happy to be there.

We are hitting the road tomorrow to spend the holidays with family in Birmingham and Huntsville.  Merry Christmas from the Chathams!!
