It all started Christmas Day night. That night Gavin developed croup, the next day Elena and Lucas got it too. It lasted 2 weeks, and 2 co pays. The following week, so 3rd week in January, we all got the 24 hour stomach flu over a period of 6 days. Lots of laundry. Then came the colds. No one could breathe for a while. Gavin popped a tooth. Lots of Tylenol there. I have strep throat and Elena has double ear infection. 2 more co pays. Gavin never stopped being a spitty baby so I said to his doctor I need some Zantec. It helps most days. 5 prescriptions later these past 2 months. I am so sick of being sick!!!!!!
Good news, Gavin started crawling the second week in January, and got his first tooth and started saying mama ma and mum all in the same week (1 week ago). He loves food, and his family, he will snuggle with just about anyone who will hold him.
Lucas is now potty trained. Can I hear a WOO WOO!!! He pretty much did it himself. I took off his diaper one day and he said, "Me go pee!" I said okay go! After that we went downstairs naked and all and found all the big boy underwear, He was so excited. I love only having one kid in diapers now!!! So nice. Lucas can also count to about 13 or 14, know his alphabet, and is good at being a stinker of a 2 1/2 year old. He is also a very big tease, if you know his dad than you know where he got it from.
Elena loves school. She is reading little books, learning to tell time, about money. I'm surprised how much they learn in kindergarten. She is an awesome helper and aka, Little Mommy. I have to remind her sometimes that she is not the mom.
As for me I'm still learning how to be a good mom and keep a house clean. Man its hard most days. I love my family and every challenge that comes with them. :)

I'm so sorry that you have been so sick. It's such a bummer deal. I'm glad things are looking better now. I'm jealous about the potty trained Lucas! I'm hoping to get Brigit there soon.
