Healing

So I think we're healing around here. Finally. Except for mama - I still seem to have a cold and am stuffy. But that's ok. It's better for me to be sick than either of the little people. Michael's a bit stuffy, too. But overall, things are about 462% better than they were a week ago. Elliot is no longer having multiple fevers of 104 and 105 degrees every day. His ear is not leaking green fluid anymore. He is sleeping in his own bed, and he doesn't complain that his ear hurts. Elsie is not having fevers anymore, either. But the antibiotics are ripping the poor baby's stomach UP. She seems uncomfortable a lot, but I think after a couple more days once the Antibiotics are finished, she'll be ok. She's a sweet little bug.

So here's Elliot finishing a masterpiece. He often plays songs for me and sings along with them. That's my favorite. Then he claps for himself. Also very fun. He is slowly figuring out that the letters we practice every day are on multiple surfaces. Suddenly they are on the trucks on the highway, and on bottles and cereal boxes and on the front of his books. He seems to recognize "A, B, C, S, R, and E". However, any number he sees could also be "A". We'll get to that. He can currently count to 2. Everybody's gotta start somewhere...
