E is for Elmo

In the car on the way to school Joey and I talk about the letter of the week.  We try to think of as many words that start with the letter as we can.  Today we were discussing the letter T.  I said "Tiger" he said "TV", I said "Tent" he said "Turtle".  When a little voice from the back said "E E E E is for Elmo!"  That little voice was Luke, I am sure he heard it on Sesame Street, but it does make him sound like a genius.

Took Joey back to the doctor for a recheck on his ears.  The left one is still just a little red, but not bad enough to treat.  Luke has not been feeling well, so she checked his ears out, they look fine.

Luke also said today, "Joe Joe is bad.  He hit me hard!"  "Momma please get banana!"  "Me want tea juice!"

My Special Valentine

Joey made me this special heart pin for Valentine's Day at school.  When he gave it to me, he said that he made me a nursing pin to wear.  I have worn it to work the last two nights and the have gotten many compliments.

Don't Fall Down

Luke learned a new phrase today "Don't fall down!"  I set him on the back of the car while I got my keys, I might have said "Luke, don't fall down!"  I don't remember saying this, but I recall him saying "Momma, I don't fall down!"  He has talked about this a lot today.

This evening at Taekwondo, Joey learned how to take a person down very easily.  He was proud to learn this move.  In the car, he talked about it and decided that he would do it to his dad.  

We we got home Joey said "Daddy, I bet I can put you on the ground!"  Luke said "Daddy, don't fall down!"  Joey did his moves on Kev and Kev ended up on the ground.

A little trip to Mobile

I have been thinking we should go to Mobile to the Explorium.   Kev has been wanting to go to Bass Pro Shop.  So we headed to Mobile yesterday and then to Bass Pro Shop on the way home and got some dinner there.  Luke got Mac and Cheese and applesauce, but he ate bread, I gave him some shrimp and Kev gave him french fries.  Joey ate a lot of bread and even ask the waitress for me right before we left, so she packed him up a whole loaf.  He also got some corndogs and french fries.  They acted like they had not had anything to eat all day, but they played super hard at the Explorium.

Luke was in Heaven

Joey liked to play the Harp.

Luke would make music and then laugh and laugh

Luke was super impressed by this, you could make these balls float there was air coming out these pipes.  He would make the balls float and then take a net and put over and laugh and laugh.

Joey was impressed with the lobster.

Luke wasn't impressed with the boat, only the sea of balls.

Joey swimming in a sea of balls.

Kev took today off so that he could attend Donuts with Daddy.  He had a lot of fun.

Ears

We have been dealing with ears all weekend long.  Thursday when I picked Joey up from school, he acted like he didn't feel well.  So we took a nap, when he woke up he was crying and said his ear hurt.  I called and got him into the doctor on Friday.  Sure enough the ear that was infected a few weeks ago, is full of puss now.  She changed his allergy medicine, put him on a different antibiotic and gave him ear drops for pain.  Saturday and Sunday he has taken tylenol and ear drops every 4 hours.  He sure has felt bad.  He went to school today for Donuts with Daddy.  His Daddy went also.  Hopefully today is a better day.
