Yuckies

No more yuckies! Make them go away! Well, we've had an crazy past week or so. Little John was so fussing and very much not himself. After many sleepless nights, I finally broke down and took him to the doctor on Easter Morning. He has bronchitis... no fun. This truly has been the cold that won't go away! He is taking a medicine for his cough and that seems to be helping break up all the yuck in his chest. The Dr. also prescribe an antibiotic, but will wait on that one until absolutely necessary. I thought this article about antibiotic overuse was interesting.

Anyway, on a more fun note.... even though I've almost lost my mind with no sleep... the kids still make me smile. Ava's vocabulary and reasoning skills keep blossoming and I love being able to see inside her little brain. I also am sometimes overwhelmed at how much she looks like me, it's like having flashbacks to my childhood. Weird, but so cool how God makes our kids! John is pulling up and loves to stand. I love the big proud smile that he has when he pulls himself up. It reminds me of my Daddy's proud smile... the one where his nostrils flair a bit and he almost gets teary eyed. I know how happy that look makes me... I hope our kids know how much we love and how proud we are of them.
