Friday May 18

 Elle loves the jumperoo as much as Noah did... whew!  She also finally got to try some rice cereal tonight... she's been eying up our food during dinnertime for weeks now.  She seemed to like the spoon more than the actual food though.

Noah cried... well, fussed the whole way home from school yesterday.  He was so happy to see me when I came to pick him up (Jeff's been picking him up since Elle's been in school), but when we got to the parking lot he wanted to let go of my hand.  I told him if he wanted to go home and see Daddy and Elle (which he's usually super excited about), he had to hold my hand to walk to the car.  He was fussing about it, so I told him he was going to have to stay at school if he didn't hold my hand to go to the car.  He decided to hold my hand, but them when I picked him up to get into the car, he started fussing saying he wanted to stay at school... this continued on and off the whole way home... thank God we live so close!  Anyway, when I walked in the door I told Jeff I thought he had an ear infection.  His nose has been running this week which was typically a sing for us in the past. 
Then this morning he slept late, so Jeff had to wake him up... he cried for about 15 minutes after he got out of bed.  I took the day off and brought him to the doctor.  Besides the fussiness, I noticed bumps on his upper chest when he got out of the bath Thursday night; they had spread and multiplied Friday morning and are now on his hip area under his diaper and on his neck and arms.  The doctor said he must have some virus, but his ears looked good... one of them was a little red.  Hope he feels better tomorrow!  Elle also came along for a check up... her mild infection in one ear has now progressed to both ears and one of them has fluid.  The dr.  said just to let it get better on its own by way of saline and time.
