This and That...

I had the stomach flu for the last two days so things have been a little dull around here. I am feeling much better today; unfortunately, now Sydney has a runny nose and is sneezing!! Hopefully it's nothing more than allergies. I really don't want us to be sick on Mother's Day. Last Mother's Day was not so good so I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will all be healthy and have a relaxing day!

On Thursday, I was pretty much on the couch most of the day since I had the stomach flu. I told Sydney that "Mommy is sick," and she seemed to understand. She would come sit next to me or lay her head on my stomach and say, "Are you all right Mommy?" I felt very loved! She even kissed my "owee" (stomach) a few times to "make it all better!" If only it were that easy! She is such a Sweetie!

Sydney has learned to sing "Rock-a-Bye-Baby" and will sing it to her baby while she rocks her. It is so adorable. I cannot believe how she can pick up words to songs so quickly! She is getting a little tough to get ready to go anywhere lately because she wants to do EVEYTHING herself. Problem is, she doesn't know what she is doing and if you even try to help...watch out...major episode! Yesterday she got so upset that I had to give her a timeout in her crib. It was effective and life went on. She does the crazy thing now that just makes us shake our heads...she will have an episode of crying or acting out (sometimes loud and obnoxious or sometimes just whining) and then all of a sudden she will just stop and look at us and say very clearly, "I feel better now," and she magically turns into a joyful little sweetie again!!

Enjoy the pictures...

The two big trees in front of our house are in full bloom like this one. I couldn't get the other tree in the picture. They look so pretty but they are a killer on the allergies!!
