Funny Kids

Rebekah has said a couple of funny things lately. Yesterday she and Joshua were not feeling very well. Both had a very low-grade fever or slightly elevated temperature. Joshua definitely got my cold, although yesterday Rebekah just laid around for part of the day. Last night as I was brushing her teeth she told me, "It's dangerous to brush your teeth when you're sick." Then today as she was holding Micah and looking at his lips she saw his milk blisters and said, "I see his baby teeth."

Joshua has become a little dare devil on his tricycle. This is the latest thing he has started doing. The first time I saw it I about freaked as he went over the curb at the bottom of our driveway. I was afraid he would head down the hill and run into the swing set.



Darrin said one time he headed straight for the slide and steered just right to go under the slide. Whew! I'm glad I didn't see that one!

This past week Darrin's mom has been here for a few days. She was tickled to finally get her hands on Micah upon arrival on Sunday. She went back home today.


I am hoping to start getting into a routine this week. I'm not sure how I'm going to juggle mornings without Darrin once he goes back to work. It has been so great having him home to help out, especially to take the kids to preschool. I'm sure we'll figure it out, but it's going to take some working out since I'm breastfeeding too.

However, Micah has been a great baby! He goes about four hours between feedings at night, so he's really only up twice in the night. He is nursing really well too. I took him to Breastfeeding Support Group on Wednesday, and he is gaining nicely. He was 6 lbs. 12 oz. which is already 5 oz. past his birth weight. In addition, it was nice to get out of the house for a change. I'm looking forward to the day we can get out of the house on a regular basis, but, oh, am I enjoying our precious son!
