My little adventure monkey

Dear JSL,

Thank goodness things were back on track this week. You have been feeling so much better and most important are fever free. In less than two years time, you have given us way too many scares. You are such an adventure seeker and love to try anything and everything your big brother does.

This week you helped me to "walk" and "kick" lots with Leslie Sansone. Of course, you were silly and wanted to take the DVD case with us when we went out. I think you have a little mini-crush on Leslie. Thursday we spent the afternoon the morning with Nana. You had a great time really exploring Chuck E Cheese with almost nobody else there. Then that afternoon you and NHL made Mimi and Aunt T smile. You hugged everyone and later at night modeled your new blanket that Aunt T made for you.

It it hard to believe that in just over a month, my baby is going to be two. Time has gone by too quickly. Stay sweet my little one.

I love you,

Mommy

Big brother’s new bike

Posted on March 28, 2009 5:38 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL ,

Just a week ago we went on an outing to buy you a new bike. We finally found one that you were a pro with and bought it for an early birthday present. Then things went a little crazy. We were trying on your helmet at home when your little brother gave us all the scare of our lives. I can not even imagine what was going through your mind as you witnessed everything that evening. You were brave and helped Daddy to look outside for the first responders. My heart broke as I carried JSL to the ambulance and I heard you crying.

For the last week you have been pretty understanding about all of the attention being on your little brother. You have helped us to give him his medicine, tried to make him laugh, and changed the television to Sesame Street to make him happy.

Last night you finally got a chance to test our your new bike at home. Like a champ, you went and showed us your stuff. Just a few years ago we wondered if you would have the strength to ride a regular bike, and now you have. We are so proud of you! Your hard work in physical therapy has made your muscles so strong!

Today it made me smile to watch you go up and down Nana and Papa’s street and then around our block. You were so proud of your new bike, but the truth is you should be thrilled with your fabulous acomplishment.

Way to go big kid – I love you!

Mommy

How can I resist you?

Dear NHL,

It is still hard for me to believe that my little boy is in kindergarten. You are already reading, writing, and doing more and more each day. Last night you blew me away with your recall on a song. A song that you have only heard a few times with Nana and Papa. When I said "Mama Mia" about something you suddenly started to sing the chorus of the song. Of course, I had to capture this moment on video and you were your sweet self and agreed to ham it up for my camera.

Thank you for being such a wonderful kiddo and making me smile with your charm.

I love you,

Mommy

To my sick little monkey

Dear JSL,

Apparently you were not able to let your big brother be the only sick kid in the house. Last night you had to top his pinkeye with some "fun" of your own. Daddy and I were silly and should have known something was wrong. You hardly ever toss all food that you are given and that is what was happening. When we felt your head you were burning up. Flashbacks of when you were in the hospital last February came flooding back. We gave you ibuprofen and acetaminophen and you quickly fell asleep. Our attention then went back to the pinkeye monster. Since you were sleeping so soundly we never woke you up to redo any of the fever reducers.

This blew up in our face when you woke up whimpering at 4:00 this morning. Sure enough you were even warmer than before. When we took your temperature it was already 102.7 and soaring. I will admit I was ready to dial 911 if we needed to. This temperature was higher than it was when you had your febrile seizure and stopped breathing in February. Mommy did not sleep much after that watching as your breathing slowed down and your skin became cooler.

In a few hours we will be taking you to Urgent Care when they open to make sure that your ears are not the culprit. For now we continue the fever reducers. Please be a good little boy and take your medicine to make you better. None of us want to spend more nights in the hospital like we did earlier this year. Fight my little guy, fight these germs with all of your power!

Mommy

To my little rotten egg

Posted on November 8, 2008 6:12 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear Kid Saturdays at Cutest Kid Ever

Dear NHL,

This week you said several one liners that made both Mommy and Daddy laugh. First was Tuesday morning. As we were scrambling around trying to figure out what to do with a leak under the sink in the bathroom. You helped to ease the tension. While eating your breakfast and hearing that we had to call a plumber you asked me the following:

"Are you calling Joe the Plumber?"

Daddy and I tried not to laugh since we were so shocked at the words out of your mouth! Where did you come up with that? I guess you are really paying attention to the news when we have it on.

Then today while getting ready to leave the house you proclaimed:

"First one with shoes on is the rotten egg!"

Much to our surprise you rushed to have this "honor" with your shoes on way before the rest of us. I suppose we need to go over the meaning of rotten egg with you one of these days.

Thank you for keeping us on your toes and making us laugh even when things are rough.

I love you my kindergarten kid,

Mommy
