McDonald's PlayZone

Fun!

My parents, Gavin and I went out and about on Saturday to get some errands done. For supper we stopped at McDonald's. This is a treat in and of itself because we hardly ever go there. But wait, it gets better...

They let me play in the PlayZone!

I was the smallest kid there (besides Gavin) and I had the most fun! I was a bit intimidated at first, but a nice older girl took me by the hand to show me the way and that's all I needed. I was off and running after that!

The slide was the best part. I would come down and every time Dad was there to catch me. So fun!

I think Gavin needs to be a bit older to appreciate the sheer joy of McDonald's PlayZone - he kept crying. Poor little guy. Mom thinks it was a bit to much ruckus for his little ears to handle all at once.

He'll just have to get used to it though, because Mom and Dad promised to bring me there again. I can't wait!

Emma.

Emma Accessorized Gavin!

Friends of our parents went on a cruise and then spent two days in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

They brought back beads for Emma!

Em decided I looked good in beads and high heals...for some reason Dad didn't concur. ;-)

Sleeping Through The Night

I'm sleeping through the night and Mama is knocking on wood!

She's ecstatic! From 8pm to 7am - it's amazing! I just all of a sudden started sleeping through the night and last night was the third night, so it can't be a coincidence, or at least she hopes.

And it was perfect timing too, because Mom was sick-o-la since about Wednesday and it really took its toll on Friday. She even asked Dad to stay home from work, which he did until 8:30am. (That might not seem like much to you, but he normally leaves the house between 6:30am and 7:00am, so Mom was thankful!) So when Friday night came along and she was drug-out, coughing and snotting, she was DREADING the 2:30am feeding... But, I slept through the night! Then again on Saturday and again last night. She's ecstatic!

And she's hoping it lasts...

Forgotten Child...Already?!

Ok. I've heard that the second and subsequent children are a bit less 'cared' for, but this is ridiculous!

There is not one photo of me enjoying my first Christmas - how horrible is that?!

There are plenty of Emma, in her 'Princess' costume, etc., but not ONE of me.

All I have to say to that is 'BLAH'!

Gavin.

We're All Sick!

I was sick and now Gavin is sick (but not Mom, she refuses)! I had the Croup last week and now Gavin is sick with a cold this week.

Mom is a bit angry with her breast milk because she says it’s suppose to protect babies from illness and infection – she figures she has to up the anty. So she’s garlic-ing herself up with some homemade Garlic Chicken Soup.

Mom fixed me up with lots of cuddles and she let me eat chicken noodle soup in the living room while laying on the couch – that was a first and sort of fun! She also sent Dad into town to buy a Cool Mist Humidifier. She now refers to it as her ‘secret weapon’.

But with Gavin…poor snotty Gavin! He’s so itty-bitty, how will she fix him? I’m sure it’ll all pan-out. Besides Gavin has his two-month check-up on Thursday, so the wonderful Dr. Heeg is sure to fix him all up!

I'll keep you posted...Emma
