Rashes and Bumps

Yesterday was a terrible day. Jack woke up and had a rash all over his body. Luckily, I was able to get in to see the doctor. Apparently, he's allergic to ammoxicilon. He'd been taking it for a week. He looks so terrible, but he's acting ok. Hope it continues to clear up.

Then, a couple hours after we got home from the doctor, Will was walking around with a pillow case on his head. He tripped on his fire engine toy on the ground and fell head first into his bed frame. It swelled up right away. Luckily the bed was made, so there were blankets cover the metal frame, but he still hit it at full force. There's gonna be a bad bump there for several days, I think. I told Randy that I think he looks like that lady from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. I don't know her name, but she's got the bumps between her eyes. She's a Bajourn? Is that how you spell it?

Randy's taking finals this week, so I had to deal with this all alone. I guess we all just have days like that, though. It makes us appreciate the normal, unexciting days.

So, last night instead of going to the gym (which I should have done) we ordered pizza and had them deliver it. Sometimes food makes things better. I was able to hang out with Randy and have some pizza. I guess my day ended better than it started.

Little Einsteins...shhh

Will can sing the words to Little Einsteins. He's been able to sing a lot of it since he was like 18 months. Anyway, I thought it was funny when he did it the other day, because he even added the "shhh" part that they say when they are behind the curtains. He's so observant (that or he watches too much tv).

Not Right Now Grandaddy

We went to Uncle Matt's house when we were in Dallas. It was super cold and windy that day, so Will was wearing socks. They have hardwood floors throughout most of their house. Will was running around (as usual) and fell down pretty hard. He was upset, so we were over there trying to console him. Then, Grandaddy comes over and jokingly asks, "Is the floor ok?" My mom told him, "Not right now Grandaddy." So, of couse, Will repeats that. Matt only heard that part of it and thought he came up with that on his own. We all had a good laugh. Matt thinks everything Will says and does is hilarious. He's a good uncle (and his first visitor).

Handy Crane

Will got a bulldozer and dump truck for Christmas from Grami. They are really fun and can do lots of things (or used to do lots of things til Will played too rough with them). Anyway, I think it's funny because he calls the bulldozer a "Handi Crane" because that is what Mickey Mouse uses on TV. Like Mickey's Handy Helpers. He calls construction trucks that too when we go past them on the road. It's cute.

Texas Roadhouse

We went to Caitlin's birthday dinner when we were in Dallas last month. It was a Texas Roadhouse. They have free peanuts there, and people just throw the shells on the floor. We'd been there for a little bit and then were getting ready to go to our table, and Will looked up at Nana (my mom) and said, "This place is a mess." I thought that was hilarious. At least he knows a mess when he sees one.

Then, last week when Randy was driving him somewhere, they drove past Roadhouse down here in Houston. He told Randy that that was the restaurant that we had Caitlin's birthday party. He remembers EVERYTHING!

Do You Look Nice Mom?

As we were leaving to go to a birthday party last night, Will said to me, "Do you look nice mom?" I think he was trying to give me a compliment. I was dressed up more than usual. I have, in the past, asked him if he thought that I looked nice (at times when I thought I did). So, he might have been doing that. But at least he noticed. I think I'm raising a sensitive, observant, and kind little boy. Now, I just have to remember that when he's yelling at me or telling me, "Be quiet, Mommy...Stop talking, Mommy!"

Jack Attacks...Cabinets

Jack is now opening cabinets, drawers, and anything he can get his hands on. Randy installed locks on the kitchen cabinet yesterday that had the cleaning supplies in it. He is just into everything! He's so darn cute that it almost makes the messes ok. Logic of parents. :)
