Sean & I have managed to stay MOSTLY healthy, but still have stuffy noses & coughs. Thank God for Sean's 2nd set of tubes or I'm sure he'd be on an antibiotic now too. Both Daddy & Evie have ear infections. This is Evie's 2nd in a month... She's a great sick baby, but she doesn't sleep. That's how we know she's infected. This time we didn't wait a week though. After 2 sleepless nights, I took her in & sure enough, double ear infection. I have perfectly good ear tubes - why didn't they inherit mine?!?!
Sean is very smart & some times even a little sassy. I know - it's so hard to believe... He was watching Cars videos on youtube & I told him to only click on ones he knows. A lot of bad people put bad stuff on the computer & make it look fun to little kids. Sad that I have to tell my 4 yr old this, but it's true. He was doing fine at first, but then started clicking on other stuff & I heard a different language. I told him not to click on the other stuff. He replied with, "This is no fun when you're around!". Nice... A teenager trapped in a 4 yr old's body! On Tuesday, he told me not to pack him fruit twists for lunch anymore because Connor said they were for babies. I told him the package said they're for preschoolers. He said, well, Connor's baby sister eats them, so they're for babies. I said, well, I'll show you the package because they're for preschoolers. Then I asked him who he thought was smarter, me or Connor. His reply? - "Well, I guess Aunt Annette if it says preschooler, but she lets Ella eat them". :) Sean's doing great at school. The other day, when I dropped him off, there were 3 boys. They had been fighting, so they were told to clean up their blocks & each go to a seperate area of the room. Sean had to pick where he was going to play, but first, he helped clean up the blocks with the other boys. I was so proud of him. His teachers always have good things to say & his bus is always on green. I guess it's ok if he's lippy with me once in awhile if he's an angel for other people. ;) Sean loves "texting" people, especially Grandma. They have complete conversations through text. I do the typing, Sean tells me what to write. I said we should get him his own phone. Not quite... Yesterday was a snow day. Blizzard 2011, kind of. So, Sean & Daddy met the Machs for some sledding. It was cold & windy, but they had lots of fun. Winter Wonderland is at the school tomorrow. We get to see Sean sing on stage & we get to see some of his special artwork. Ooooooo... Ahhhh... ;)
Evie wants to be rocked to sleep now. And, she loves sleeping on the couch by her daddy. She loves dogs, especially Andy. Good thing the dogs in her life don't mind a little abuse. ;) She's sitting in her high chair now & looks like such a big girl. She can eat most of what we eat. She still growls after each bite. She can "crawl" anywhere fast. She moves her left leg forward & then drags her right. It's different, but super cute. She opens drawers & cupboards and she goes right for cords. Time to super baby proof the house! I have a feeling she'll get into more than Sean did. She can pull herself up to a stand & does ALL the time. Yesterday she even stood without support for about 3 seconds! Trying to get down from a stand isn't super graceful yet, but she's working on it. She LOVES Super Why. It is her favorite thing in the whole world right now. If she's crying or unhappy, it soothes her. She knows what parts are coming next. If she even hears some one say Super Why, she'll look around for a tv. She loves to grab your glasses off your face & she's super quick about it. She loves to play whatever Sean is playing & it's really cute to watch her play cars with him. He doesn't like it when she puts stuff in her mouth cause it gets all slimy. So, she has to work on that. ;)
On 01/26/11, my Grandma, Sean & Evie's Great Gram, passed away. We will miss her very much and enjoyed the frequent visits over the last couple months. She was a good Grandma & we loved her very much. I'm thankful I got to see her with my children and that they got to know her.
