Mr. Science

I love the science museum! Everyday I ask to go there and we usually end up going about twice a week...at least we try. Mom keeps forgetting that it's closed on Mondays. It seems I discover something new every time. Our first stop is always the rice table. I work away while mom tries to keep Ezekiel from dumping it all over the floor, which he seems to prefer despite the sign that says "please keep the rice IN the table". Then we head in the play room for a little dress up and slides. Today I played with some balls and air tubes, the grocery store and the giant bubble. What a fun day!

Go Zags!

Oh, what we do for our dad... He made us all wear Gonzaga gear today to get ready for the big game tonight. Unfortunately it starts after my bedtime so he'll have to give me the play by play tomorrow.

















Ezekiel is quite the recorder player these days...I think he's more interested in the band!

St. Paddy's day!

I'm not sure I get all the St. Patrick's day stuff but it sure was fun doing crafts and cooking green things with mom today! Ma Herzog would be so proud, we cooked green fettuccine, broccoli, lime jello and my personal favorite...green sugar cookies! Zekey and I also painted and made cool hats but he refused to wear his so we let Daddy wear it! Mom was the only one not wearing green today but I decided to pinch dad instead!

"I'm not better yet."

This is what I tell mom and dad every time they ask me how I'm feeling. I've got one more day left of my antibiotics but yesterday I spiked a 104 fever and a rash. Mom called the advice nurse and she said to bring me in! Turns out it's just a virus but boy does it make me feel bad. Dad picked me up some bubble gum flavored medicine to get my fever down so that made me feel a bit better. The strangest part of this whole sickness stuff is that my appetite is gone. I'll ask mom to fix me something but then I'll tell her I'm too full to eat. You know I must really be sick when I turn down food! I did manage to get down some ice cream yesterday when my fever was so high.
Other than that things are fine. I love to go to the library for story time and on Thursdays we even get to do crafts! Today I made a drum.
I have officially entered the world of "why" now. I ask this question about a kazillion times a day. It's fun for mom I'm sure!
I went through a stage a while ago where I wouldn't nap or go to bed without a fuss but I'm over that now. Getting a sticker if I'm good helps! As always I'm working on "listening and obeying" and most days I'm pretty good. I'm also becoming quite the negotiator. If mom and dad say I can't play with something because I'm not sharing or being nice then I'll say, "If I can't play with that then I'm not going to play with anything!". You might think this would work great but for some reason it's not having the effect I was hoping...guess I need to sharpen those skills!

Sunshiny day!

On Monday we were building snowmen but by Saturday we were playing outside in the 75 degree weather! This is my friend Kathryn, her daddy works with my daddy and now that the weather is warmer I'm hoping I get to play with her more often! The plan was to run around the soccer field together but I was more interested in playing with the orange cones and eating so Kathryn played with Daddy and Ezekiel.

My stats

Well I had my wellness/sickness check up yesterday and my doctor says we're going to try some antibiotics to get me feeling better. My tonsils and adenoids weren't as bad as my mom thought but I have lots of fluid in my ears which explains why I am always saying "what" and "talk louder" to my parents. Other than that I'm doing great. I weigh 37 pounds (90%) and I am 39 inches tall (75%). I did have to have one shot that I kicked and screamed for but then I got a cool band-aid and I was all better.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Daddy got a surprise day off on his birthday because we got snow! Mommy and I made him a heart cake because we love him so much.
And with my help we got him some Thomas the Train stuff! It was what he always wanted and I even let him play with it too.








We had lots of fun playing in the snow! I especially liked throwing snowballs at Dad.
We even built a real snowman this time and he was bigger than me!
After a while my cheeks were getting real rosy so we headed in for some hot cocoa, my favorite! Then after my nap we checked on old Mr. Snowman and well, he looked a little droopy after a few more inches fell.




For the past couple of weeks I've been having some trouble sleeping because of my chronic snoring and I've been fighting a cold so that makes it worse. So at night I get up a few times and sleep with mom and dad or ask them to come sleep with me and well, no one gets that much sleep. So Mom bought these cool bandaids for my nose that she's hoping will help with the snoring. I go in for a well check up today and mom has a hunch that my tonsils and adenoids will be coming out soon...I'm not sure what that's all about but I guess we'll find out soon!
