Another Cold

This has become all too familiar since Ryan has started preschool last September..another cold...we think. I think I've said it before but it could be allergies since it runs in the family. I know germs are everywhere but if a child is showing signs of sickness, they are not suppose to be at preschool. The preschool Ryan attends is not a daycare. It's just a 4 hour christian based preschool and supposedly they do not tolerate when a child comes to school sick. Again, germs are everywhere and even though a child isn't showing outward signs of being sick, obviously they still can be sick. All we can do is load Ryan up with immunity booster vitamins, lots of Vitamin C and hope he gets better quickly. It seems to be working because this cold doesn't seem too bad. Of course he has a runny nose along with some congestion but today is day 5 and we're not going through but a handful of tissues an hour rather than every 5 minutes!

Last week Ryan came home from preschool and during the evening he started singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star all by himself! We were just amazed! This boy of ours who is still not stringing together 3 word phrases, other than a few here and there, was singing a song! So of course I got out my video camera, just in time for him to stop because he was tired of singing.grrrr. All weekend I tried to coax him into signing it again but he was not interested. Finally tonight he started up again. It's not all him (I had to help) because he was more interested in the stickers but at least you'll be able to see how great he's coming along with his speech.

He was in a good mood yesterday since he decided to take a 3 hour nap so when I got home from work I took some pictures of him in his new St. Patricks Day shirt (a little early but why leave it just sitting in his drawer) and him playing around with the Bumbo I had taken out of the closet. He still loves that seat!

The forecast is calling for snow for Saturday. That doesn't mean a hill of beans around here in Eastern Virginia though. We hardly EVER get anything more than a dusting. It was many many years ago that we saw more than a dusting or an inch. Something that we can take Ryan outside to make a snowman would be great though! Stay tuned!!
