Dear Dr. NHL,

It was so much fun watching you this Halloween. I loved seeing you at school during your party. You really enjoyed wearing your costume all day and your teachers thought it was funny that you picked your own costume.

This year you really understood the fun of trick-or-treating. Thank you so much for being such a fabulous big brother and telling everyone that your little brother, who was tagging along and collecting leaves in his pumpkin, was coming as well. I love you so much and am so glad that we had a special day together with Nana and Papa.

Love,

Mommy

Dear JSL,

My little penguin from last year has grown up so much. You were such a cute liitle Mickey Mouse. Everyone in the kindergarten loved seeing you and you loved visiting them. You were not too sure about trick-or-treating at first. You really thought the pumpkin was for collecting leaves. Thanks to your big brother you soon realized there was more to it. By the end of the time out you were saying "Tri Tret" and "Than U" at most of the houses along with waving and chanting "bye-bye" to everyone. Thank goodness you still do not completely realize what it was you had in your pumpkin and did not ask for candy when we went back to Nana and Papa.

Love,

Mommy

A tough week ahead

Dear NHL and JSL,

This week is going to be a challenging one for the three of us when Daddy goes away to the wedding. With help from the two of you (and of course Nana and Papa) I know I will be able to make it. Both of you will be sad and miss Daddy, but we will be strong together. I promise that we will have extra special fun, especially on Halloween. We can also call Daddy every day/night so he can talk to both of you.

Both of you are quite attached to your Daddy. NHL, you got so close to Daddy when you went to daycare with him every day. JSL, you go to the door every morning crying for Dada, wishing he would come back in the door before the end of the day. Hopefully you will understand in your own way that Mommy will miss Daddy too. The only other times we have been apart is when each of you were born. This is very new to me too.

Hopefully with lots of hugs we will make the time go by quickly and then run to Daddy when we pick him up at the airport. Now we just need to spend lots of time with him before he goes.

I love you both so very much,

Mommy

An eye glue experience

Posted on October 18, 2008 9:37 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL,

Right now you are sleeping peacefully in your bed. This is a very good thing after the last few days. I know you do not understand everything that is going on, but mommy and daddy will take care of you. We promise to get your allergies under control so that the stuffy nose and cough leave you alone.

Just when we thought that was the only thing going on you woke up screaming and so scared just before 4:00 this morning. When Daddy arrived in your room you declared that your eye was stuck shut. Sure enough your left eye had junk all around it. You were such a brave kiddo letting Daddy get everything off. Of course you would not go back to sleep. You were too afraid of your eye getting glued shut again.

When we went to the doctor today you were such a big boy telling them everything that was wrong. You even mentioned how you bit your own hand while eating breakfast. Thank goodness we found out that your breathing is nothing serious, your ears look fine, but the eye is a different story. You most definitely have pink eye (Mommy knew that) and now have to use medicine for a week.

I know that you hate having eye medicine, but please try to be brave. When you kick, scream, and move around it only takes that much longer. Daddy and I promise to do our part to make this go as quickly as possible.
