Nyquil, Robitusson, Tylenol cold, Delsym...

Coughing, sneezing, aching body, sore throat, fever, just needs lots of rest week. Eric came home from school mid-last week not feeling so great, consequently he got two extra days of spring break. Eric was a champion! He was super tired, and rested a lot, but didn't whine or even complain, but he did enjoy eating a lot (and I mean A LOT) of ice cream bars. Then yesterday, his germs were successfully passed onto our normally over-energentic Timo.



Timo is normally so full of life and love, but today he has been knocked down and laid on his back with the yuckies. He hasn't taken it as bravely as big Eric did, but that's okay, too. Normally, kids get more cuddly and needy when they are sick, and Timo is normally cuddly and needy - so that hasn't changed. But he is feeling down, so we are anxiously waiting for the germs to leave the house and move on...

On a completely unrelated topic, Eric's reading has definitely improved and he tries so hard to figure out how to spell words. His latest attempt was in a word bubble of a picture he drew. It said "Oh caghe" trying to spell "OK." And I just thought that was too cute not to share!



This picture, which Jeremy took last year in Tacoma, makes a colorful and fun background.
