Wrapping Presents

I kept telling myself that I should put the wrapping paper away, but I still had a few presents to wrap and thought that I could get to them before Parker became interested in the paper.  When I walked into our bedroom Parker had already unwrapped one of his gifts and was trying to figure out how to wrap himself. What a good helper!                

We're Gonna Make It

Parker has been sick for the last four weeks and is finally better.  It was just a runny nose for two weeks and then he started getting a fever and a severe cough; he'd cough so hard he'd throw up.  :(  In the last two weeks, I think we've watched the Winnie the Pooh movie thirty times... maybe more.  Parker is a snuggler, but the day that his fever peaked he hardly left my lap.  We knew he was really sick because he fell asleep on the couch watching his show, which hasn't happened since he was a newborn.  Sometimes he falls asleep in the car on long car rides, but other than that, he always falls asleep in his crib.  It was so cute that I had to take a picture.

Taking care of a sick kid is no fun, but it would have been alright if it was just him that got sick.  No such luck.  Paul got the flu, and then I caught a cold, which I'm just getting over.  I feel like we've been stuck inside for an eternity not wanting to pass our germs around- thank goodness it's almost over!

The last couple days Parker has been so happy and silly and giggly.  I'm so glad to have our fun little guy back.
