Ringing in the new year, Noah starting having symptoms (sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes) took his to the Dr. on the 31st (sat) and yes his RVS test came back postive. SO, after an albuterol treatment, and learning that there isn't much you can do for this respiratory virus, I resolved to washing hands, disinfecting, and trying to prevent the rest of the family from getting sick. Well on Monday, Luke started having the same symptoms. Drew was leaving town, and I was flying solo for the rest of the week with 2 sick boys. I took Luke in to the Dr. on Tue. A few HORRIBLE nights later, they seem to be getting better slowly but surely.
And can you believe that my resolution this year was to stop complaining!!!???? Right in time for this humbling week of servitude to my boys. With lots of support from family, lots of coffee, and little sleep I can say we survived. Can not wait for Daddy to be home.
Here are my boys (pjs are how we do sick days)

While one or the other is napping I try to spend a little time with the one awake. With Noah this means playing with his new Melissa and Doug toys. That I LOVE. I like to call them Barbies for Boys. You can change their manly outfits, into anything you want just by placing the appropriate magnet over the legs or arms or feet or head. So much fun for this Momma who loved Barbies but has no girls to play with.
My smart boy has learned more about the IPAD we got for Christmas that Drew and I know. I found him in the living room on PBSkids an app we downloaded but had not looked at yet, Noah quickly figured out how to turn in on, pull it up, pick his favorite show, (well one of three, btw/ Word World, Super Readers, and Curious George) and was content watching away.
