Ravenous


Is it one of Murphy's Laws that a child will be sick on Christmas?  I believe it should be one, if it's not already.  Every year we have one child sniffling, coughing or barfing on Christmas.  This year it was Little C, again (last year he had pnuemonia). 

A few days before Christmas he had the "grow-ups."  Luckily DH was actually awake at the time, so he caught it before it got too messy.
   "I don't want to grow-ups, Mommy,"  Little C wailed.
   Yeah, I don't want you to either bud. 

For a week after the incident we couldn't get him to eat anything.  He would nibble every now and then, but wouldn't tuck into his usual favorite foods.  

That all changed about four days ago.  I can't get the kid to stop eating (and I'm not really trying to ... he needs to get some of chub he lost back).   He's like a Hobbit.  We have first breakfast (waffles) Second Breakfast (fruit and a roll with jam) Third Breakfast (crackers, candy and juice) and then we start on lunch.

I'm hoping that all this intake will make potty training easier.  Volume, right?

Cute picture of C. Please tell me he was doing all that celebrating around 7:30pm New Year's Eve?

What I wouldn't do to kiss that face! I'm glad to hear that he's feeling better. Hate to tell you but I think your grocery bill is just going to keep climbing! Loves.

Glad to hear the little dude doesn't have the grow-ups anymore. One more hour ... it feels like I haven't seen you in months. Really, if you count in dog years 3 weeks is something like 5 months, right? Although, I don't know who's supposed to be the dog in this equation.
