The highlights included a one-year birthday party for Alex and Ari's good friend (and fellow neighborhood playgroup member) Ryan. Poor Alex and Ari are getting sick of watching all of their friends eat cake when they can't have it for another few months. They had fun with their playgroup buddies, though, and meeting new friends.
With Daddy away on a business trip, Saturday night Ari and Alex's neighborhood friend Sammy came over with his big sister Charlotte and their mom to keep us company (their daddy was also working Saturday night). The mommies ordered in somy yummy sushi while the little people had an assortment of kiddie food: oatmeal and fruit, veggies, pasta, and mac & cheese.
The low hit us on Sunday morning when Ari spiked a high fever and was acting very sad. Of course this would have to happen when Daddy was away, but lucky for us Nana, Poppy Jack, and Dr. Miri came to the rescue. A dose of Tylenol and 20 minutes later, Arielle's fever was gone and she was starting to act like herself. Dr. Miri declared her otherwise healthy, so we took it easy on Sunday with extra help (and TLC) from the doting grandparents. By evening, Ari seemed to be none worse for the wear and on the mend. As of today, the fever has not returned and she's acting like her happy self:
Mommy discovered the most exciting news today when she put her finger in Alex's mouth and felt a TOOTH coming in on the bottom! So, one week past his 10-month birthday, Mr. Alex finally cut his first tooth. One down, four more to go to catch up to his sister, who is working on five teeth now (as you can see in the picture above). Nana also taught Alex a new "trick" this weekend: "Alex, where are your ears?"
Tonight we took it easy and got some chores done around the house. Mommy left Ari with the laundry basket for a few seconds and returned to find Ari with underwear around her neck:
So all's well that ends well, and we're just hoping to make it through the rest of the winter illness-free!
