sick

Welcome, Winter Sickness!  We've had some sickness going around for over a week now.  Plus, Levi has four teeth coming in, and he has NOT been happy.  Currently, Caleb and Logan are congested, but it's not really slowing them down.  Mike has a runny nose as well.  Levi still has a bit of a runny nose and cough, but I think he's on the tail end of it.  There was a day last week that he didn't want to do anything - poor guy.  He just sat on my lap.

Levi is picking up new words like crazy and it is so much fun!  The ones we hear a lot now are: on (concerning lights), button (on toys, not on clothes), blanket, chocolate (asking for chocolate milk), and buckle.  Levi learned how to whisper about a week ago and it's so stinkin' cute!  At lunchtime one day either Caleb or Logan came over to me to whisper a "secret" in my ear.  Levi leaned forward in his high chair like he wanted to get close to me, so I put my ear up to him and he whispered some noises.  :)  He kept wanting to do it, and we've had alot of fun with it.  He's also gotten good at screaming and making loud noises while at the table - big brothers have something to do with that.

Caleb and Logan keep improving at counting, and figuring out sounds and letters.  Fun to see how they're learning.  I got them some letter and number tracing placemats for Christmas, so hopefully they'll have fun practicing writing with those.  I can hear Logan in quite time right now singing the ABC song.  :)  (Levi also likes to sing it, of course that's super cute.)

Both Caleb and Logan are observant and really think about some things, and I love it!  Even though they come up with some interesting and difficult questions sometimes.  :)  They ask alot of questions about God, Jesus, Heaven, Hell, etc.  It's SCARY to know the weight and responsibility I have in handling this stuff with them!  Gotta pray every day that the Lord gives me the right words to teach these boys.  Anyways, so the other day I was sitting in the chair with Caleb and Logan talking about Christmas stuff.  I mentioned that Jesus was born in something like a barn, and it was just him and his mom and dad.  Logan says, "But he's not his real dad, God is Jesus' dad."  !!!!!  A funny thing that came up the other day, Logan asked Mike how he has three moms because he calls, Grammy, Grandma, and me "Mom".  :)
