2008- The year of the flu!

For the past couple of weeks our entire house has been sick. It all started with Morgan who spiked a fever late on Sunday afternoon. So Mommy took her to the doctor the next day and they said she was positive for the flu and might have pneumonia! Poor Morgan had to have a chest x-ray. Mommy said all the machines made Morgan look really small. Morgan did end up having pneumonia along with her flu and was down for 4 days. Mommy and Daddy had to watch Curious George about a million times, but said it was okay because it made Morgan feel better.

A couple days after Morgan got sick, Mommy got the flu too! Then a couple of days after that, Daddy was sick. Everyone was worried about poor little me, because if I got the flu it would be bad news. But leave it to me to get my own special sickness. That's right- I got my first ear infection! I had a fever for two days so I made my very own trip to the doctor where they poked and pulled on my ears. So much so that I screamed my head off the entire time I was there.

The good thing about being sick was that Morgan and I each got alone time with Mommy, and we got to watch a lot of movies! Curious George is by far the favorite, but we also watched a lot of Shrek and Shrek 2.

In other exciting news- I get to eat cereal now! So far I like it pretty good. Sometimes more food ends up on my face then in my mouth, but all in all I'm doing pretty good. Morgan always says that I'm eating Cheerios. I'm not sure what Cheerios are, but so far I like rice cereal.

I'm glad that we are all feeling better now. Hopefully we can all stay well for the rest of winter. But Mommy says that's unlikely because Morgan and I spend most of the day at the petri dish they call daycare. It's fun though!

Children's Museum here I come!

The week before Mommy went back to work she took me and Elizabeth to the children's museum. I've been there before, but Mommy says I'm finally at the age where I can enjoy everything. Boy was she right! Lately I've been obsessed with dinosaurs, and Mommy told me that we were going to visit some. On our way there Mommy turned the corner in the car and all of the sudden there were dinosaurs coming out of the building. I was so excited! We started our day at the museum in the Dinosphere where I got to dig for dinosaur bones, and play in a dinosaur nest. I even got to dress up like a dinosaur!

After the dinosaur exhibit we went to Playscape which is designed just for little kids like me. It's full of things we can move and play with. It even has a water table and a sand box. There was so much there for me to play with- and lots of little kids to play with too. After we spent a lot of time in Playscape, Mommy took me and Elizabeth up to ride the carousel. Yep, that's right, they have an actual carousel inside the building! Mommy and Elizabeth rode on one horse, and I got to ride on one all by myself. And since there was no line we got to ride three times in a row. We had a great day and I can't wait to go back again.
