Finn made the most beautiful shooting star ornament for our tree. It was a lovely surprise to open this little treasure up after picking the boys up from school. Best Christmas gift I have ever received.

From Drop Box

Some days the boys play so well together. It is usually so short lived when it actually does happen. But sometimes I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I've been told that once the baby hits about 18 months, the boys will begin to play with each better. 6 1/2 more months to go!!

12/14/2011 - Holiday Program

From Drop Box

We attended the boy's holiday program today. Liam (with the help of Miss Alicia) performed a cute holiday dance while dressed as a holiday elf. Finn sang 4 amazing holiday songs with his adorable classmates. It was thoroughly enjoyable. Who knew that 3 year olds could sing in spanish and italian so well??

From Drop Box

Liam has been taking longer naps lately for us, which are great! I think it's because he is walking so much and it's taking a lot out of him. That is definitely the benefit of having a walking little boy. Finally captured a picture of him walking with no assistance, unfortunately , it is a picture of his back, with no diaper on ... and only one sock. That's how we roll!!

12/12/2011 - Checking email

Finny's fever didn't seem to be going away, so I am took a sick day today to stay home with him. After a trip to the doctor's office, we discovered that he has the start of an ear infection and that is what seems to be causing the fever. Poor little man. Back on the antibiotics. After the appt, we picked up Liam and headed over to our local CVS to get the prescription. Our pharmacy always takes FOREVER!!! Finn spent some of the time checking his email on the Blood Pressure Machine. That little boy can make me smile in even the most stressful times. Oh and Finny was a big boy and used the public toilet at CVS to go potty. It is rather interesting to have to suspend your 3 yr old over a toilet while reminding them to hold their peepee down and make sure that a 10 month old doesn't wake up. We survived though completely unscathed.

12/11/2011 - Smiling fever

From Drop Box

Finn's cold has taken a turn for the worse and the poor kid has had a mild fever on an off for the last 2 days. Even sick, the kid still is a little sweetheart. He even managed to ham it up for the camera and couple times today while playing cars with his brother. I was hoping that we had seen the worse with this cold, but it looks like it might not pass so easily. I just hope he recovers by Wednesday to participate in his first Holiday Program at work. He has been hard at work practicing his songs. "We wish you a Happy Kwanzaa, We wish you a Happy Hanukkah, We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!"

From Drop Box

Our little cruiser is now getting to be quite the walker. Not even 10 1/2 months and little man is walking around like a champ. Just on Tuesday he was taking two or three steps at time and now he can cross the room. Amazing. Soon he will be running.
