queazy tummies

We had a lovely weekend with Grammie Donna. She absolutely spoiled the kids as well as Cody and me -we actually went out to the movies. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And Kate thanks you for the ice cream - she hasn't stopped talking about it.

I think Grammie may have just got out in time too.  I started feeling pretty queazy last evening and I believe Elliott was and is off too. And Cody just called and he has started feeling ill as well. It's quite terrifying, the thought of us getting sick again as Kate in the end was vomiting and sick for five days last week.  With that said we have chosen to pull Kate out of daycare.  We're so tired of always being sick and moreover she's just not that into going anymore.  It's a struggle to get her out the door and then there is a flood of tears each time I drop her off. So today I gave our two week notice. I'll miss the school though - they were so great to us and I loved Kate's little friends.  Now I have to find new play outlets for her and Elliott.

On a completely separate note, last evening Kate requested some outside time.  Neither Cody nor I particularly wanted to join her (I know we're terrible) so out she went on her own. Around and around the house she went playing in the gardens, with sticks, admiring the chipmunk on our feeder and having a gay ol' time. It's unbelievable to me what a two year is capable of.  Before Kate I would have said a two year old is a baby still but she's already quite independent and resourceful. It's an indescribable feeling watching her imagination come to life and made Cody and me stop and wonder about our own dwindling imaginations. So begins our journey of rediscovery through our kiddies.

A couple kiddies photos:
The babes have started interacting a lot more - even playing a bit together.

Here's Kate trying to teach Elliott to drink from a bottle.

It's snowing and raining here and very overcast so we're not feeling that springy. However the plan this week is to attempt a few Easter activities including of course colouring eggs. I'll let you know how it goes.

I hope Spring is on your doorstep everyone. xox aj
