Recovery

I know it has been awhile since my last post...I told you I didn't know how committed to this I would be. I PROMISE to post soon with Valentine pictures.

On Thursday I took Jewel to the doctor because she was complaining about a sore throat. My mothering instinct told me it was strep...and the test results did not disappoint. Yep! Strep throat. From the drama that ensued at the doctor's office, most people around us thought she must be on her death bed...from crying and sniffling to announcing that she had to see the doctor right away because it was getting "worser" to the pathetic face and body language. Whoever wins Best Actress on Sunday at the Oscars has nothing on Jewel!! :)

Once the doctor proclaimed the diagnosis, said that no shot was involved, and passed out the lollipops, Jewel bounced off the table and said she was feeling so much better. Miraculous recovery??? I don't think so!!

Bubba's throat was not red, but the doctor said that we would know in the next three to five days if he (or Scooter and I) had strep too. We are just keeping our fingers crossed that we have sanitized and washed our hands enough to control it.

Jewel's working on sounding out words and "reading" and wants her dad to take the training wheels off her bike so she can ride a two-wheeler because her friend across the street is doing it. I love a little peer pressure!! ;)

Bubba is talking more. He can say momma, dadda, sho sho (for Shiner), Jewel's name is becoming clearer, makes car noises and Beep! Beep! when playing with his cars. He still loves playing with balls and Scooter got him a plastic set of golf clubs...most of the time he runs after Jewel throwing balls or blocks!!
