Any thoughts on the new blog set up? That's a lot of Shireys at first sight. I'm just playing with it right now, so it may change again over the next several days. Anyway...
Sometimes people ask us what Guy's favorite toys are. These days my answer is a little out of the ordinary, since our son spends most of his time collecting and playing with containers (especially bottles) and their tops. He loves them, and will start to hyperventilate if I walk into the room with a water bottle. On a recent car ride, Guy played with a bottle and cap for an entire hour. Who knew?! I decided to gather a few of Guy's favorite items and commemorate this phase in his life with a picture. Occasionally we try to analyze this fetish and think of what the future holds for him with his unique interests. Any ideas?
On another note, our little boy's been sick for the past week. From a stomach bug to a cold, it took him 20 minutes to stop crying this morning when he woke up. And it took both me (holding him) and Jonathan (feeding him) about 30 minutes to get him to eat a few bites of food. He finally perked up when we showed him old pictures and videos of himself on our computer. (He used to be so fat, and I miss his sweet baby rolls!) The past two days he's taken morning naps of 3 hours and more. All that to say that we're just laying low right now and hoping he recovers soon.
Jonathan's back to teaching his English courses today. It'll be good to get back into a schedule and "normal" life. A friend and I are doing a baby swap this week (if our kids are healthy). I'm taking her son for a few hours on Wednesday and she'll take Guy for a while on Thursday. We were both lamenting our inability to get much done during the day and our exhaustion at night once the boys are in bed, so we are trying to free up some time for each of us to run errands and do chores that we keep putting on the back burner. Hopefully it works out and we can keep it up for a few weeks. I'm so grateful for the friends we have here!
