We have had some amazing weather this winter. A couple of weeks ago the kids threw rocks in the stream.
As you can see from this picture, it was a gorgeous day out.
The kids still love bath time.
Especially when daddy takes a bath with them.
On Monday the kids and I came home to foamy white vomit in Louis' room. He was shaking and taking shallow quick breaths. His vomit turned into blood within an hour. Keith rushed him to the Emergency Vet when he got home from work. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and for the first time in his 12 years had to stay over night away from home. He did great considering the circumstances. They put him on IV fluids and antibiotics and he is on a course of 14 days of oral antibiotics as well. We take him in for a follow up xray and appointment on Valentine's day to make sure that he is fully recovered. Keith was very excited to pick Louis up and put him in the new sweater Grammy Carol made him. He was really worried that he wasn't going to be able to enjoy it. This was a realization to all of us that every day with Louis is a blessing and his days are becoming more numbered then we like to think.
Angela started potty training Phoenix on Monday. She is wearing diapers for nap time and at night, but during the day Angela has been great about putting Phoenix on the toilet every hour or so. She has gone pee pee once each day in the potty. At home she was able to go poo poo for us again. The funny thing is starting on Friday when Phoenix was home with me she asked to wear diapers. I didn't argue since we were gone most of the day. She says she wants to go potty at Angela's with Aisha because they are doing it together. I am completely okay with that and hope that she is able to get the hang of it more and more while at Daycare. I will definitely not complain about having Angela do most of the hard work :)
The rain started on Friday and we have been blessed with three straight days of warm rain. It has been so nice to enjoy the weather. The kids had a great walk home from school.
While most parents think that I am crazy for walking to pick up the kids in the rain. The kids think I am great for letting them splash and have fun in the rain.
With mid 60's for the highs the rain has truly been enjoyable to be in despite the high winds at times.
The kids continue to be best friends and enemies. Axel is an amazing brother and helps Phoenix out all of the time. Phoenix absolutely is in love with Axel.
They play together more and more and most of the time enjoy each others company. Axel does retreat into his room to play with big boy toys and has to do big boy homework at times, but Phoenix doesn't mind.
Axel is all signed up for A-ball. Yesterday we got his cleats, pants, belt, undershirt, socks and glove. He has his first practice this coming Tuesday. Daddy is so excited that he is on the Red Sox. Daddy is one of the coaches and Axel has a few of his classmates on his team.
Although he closes his eyes to catch the ball, he has quite a good arm, taking after both his mommy and daddy. We are so excited for him and Axel is finally getting excited too.
The rain will end just in time for his Tuesday practice and games start in March. Hopefully, I will be able to snap a few photos of his first practice!
