A few days before Christmas we had some pretty sick kids. I'm pretty sure they had the flu and it wasn't fun. Emery was sick the longest, she still doesn't really have all of her strength back. She didn't really eat much from Tuesday night to Saturday. Finally on Saturday I told her for every thing of food she ate she would get new pjs. (she loves pjs) She ate 3 things, which was more than I thought she would, so I got her 3 pjs. The 'best' part was since it was almost Christmas and I'm pretty sure now that everyone gets new pjs on Christmas, most stores were out or her size, so it took forever to find some.
Jacks was sick too. This was the first time in his 3 years of life that he's been actually sick. He's had a fever for teething but nothing that lasted more than a half day. We learned that he likes to cuddle when he is sick. I have to say I liked it for the first day, but it got old, and hot, fast. I had to sleep Thrusday for work, so for my whole nap, he napped on me chest too.
When giving him medicine I first gave it to him from a cup, which he did just fine with. Then I found the syringe ones and he refused to use it. For whatever reason it freaked him out.
The kids go cookies in their sock for Christmas. Jacks was eating some tonight and when he was done he put the cup on the table. Later Brad noticed the cup. He ate all the middles out and left the cookies. He likes the frosting but not the cookies. He does this most of the time with Oreos too.
The kids always get a shirt or two for Christmas. I found this one for Jacks and thought it was cute. It says Mr. Messy, so it is a boys shirt. For whatever reason the mess is pink. When Jacks opened it today he took one look at it and threw it to Emery and said "here I opened your shirt." He refused to wear it. I tired to sneak it on him but once he noticed he took it right off. I guess we'll have to return this one.
Brad has wanted the movie posters for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies so for Christmas he got small sizes of them. We have REALLY outgrown our house. We have an office wall in our room where the pictures are now hung. One day they will look really sweet in an office.
