Cozy at home

Mom and Ethan are home together today. Last night mom took Ethan's temp. and it was 104.5! I pretty much freaked out . . . . but then I called and talked to a Dr. who was surprisingly calm about the matter and just told me to give him Tylenol. At about 10:00 last night I decided I would stay home from work today to be with him, which was a good choice since we were up with him a few times in the night.

Today, he is doing fine. His temp. goes up and down between doses of Tylenol, but he doesn't seem to be acting too fussy or sick - although I think he looks pretty pale. Anyway, I am happy to be home with him to make sure he's OK.


Here is a picture from this morning depicting Ethan's new found hobby - watching the neighbor's dog "do his business" outside. He LOVES that dog, and can only get a good view from standing on the kitchen counter and looking out the window. Mama stands by and narrates . . ."The doggie is digging in the snow! The doggie has black ears! Look at the doggie wag his tail!" I have yet to inform E. of what the doggie is actually doing out there!

Here are some pics from Sunday of mom, Grandma Mary, and Ethan out on a walk in the snow. Ethan decided after about 20 minutes that he did NOT want to be in his stroller anymore and threw a fit! So, grandma and mom took turns carrying him . . . not a fun job with a baby who's at about 30 pounds!

Good to hear that EJC is easily entertained and that Mommy uses it as a "teachable moment!"
