Okay, so I started a post a week ago and thought I would add photos to it later. It was supposed to be about the party that we had for Mark on his birthday and maybe about going to the Chinese New Year celebrations downtown but as you can se that never materialized. In fact we didn't make it to the New Year celebrations at all and Mark's party, it turned out, sort of happened between all the sickness.
Last Thursday Kian got up from his afternoon nap and told me that his stomach hurt. I thought it was because he had eaten this HUGE cookie with his lunch. As it turned out he threw up all over the floor, not once but three times. He likes to call it barf. So he barfed all over the floor, the couch, his bed.... Mark came home from work a little early to help me out. Julean was also having a tough day but that was because he was - is - teething. Not so much fun for mom that day.
The next morning Kian woke up in a good mood and everything was back to normal. The party would be a go and we could get ready for the on-slot of parents and children to come to our house for Mark's birthday. We had a great time and there were may left overs to be had.
That night Kian was sick again, this time in his bed at 2 am. Great time to give a toddler a bath, so Mark took him to the spare room and lay down with him. He was sick again. Needless to say, by this time the washing machine has been going non-stop. THe next morning he was back to his usual self. We went about our routine as usual, but as it turns out the following night Mark and I were both sick at the same time. Mark seemed to recover fairly quickly. It took me the better part of the next day to get through before I was feeling a little better. Thankfully Julean never got the flu.
After the flu leveled the house, Kian got a lovely chest cold which lead to the ear infection and a couple trips to the doctor's office. Mark and I both managed to get the out-skirts of the cold, Julean seemed to get the cough part which is now bronchitis. Now everyone is on some sort of antibiotic and hopefully on the mend. I have been to the doctor's office for one or the other 4 times this week.
Other than the sickness part, Julean went for his three month check up. He is now 15 lbs! That's half of Kian's weight! Guess he is eating well. The weather has been gorgeous despite what the weather forecasters have been saying. We have been outside everyday working in the garden and BBQing. Things are starting to come along outside and we can't wait to actually start planting stuff. Apparently it is still early and we need to wait just a little longer. All the crocuses are out as well as the daffodils, snowdrops, forsithia, plum and cherry blossoms and a number of other things that I don't know the names of. Things are starting to look a lot like spring around here.
