My baby boy has had a cough for a week. We took him in to the doctor and the doctor says it is just a cold and he’ll be fine. Well, I think my body is fighting that same cold. Don’t you hate that when you can feel it in your chest and you know it’s coming, but you just DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THAT! I am fighting with everything I’ve got, as well as all the meds/herbs/remedies I can think of. My oldest finally succumbed to the cough as well. His reaction when we told him that he was too sick and had to stay home from school was, “Oh great…now I have to eat soup.” Ha! Where do they come up with these things?

I know people have all kinds of bad things to say about George W. Bush, but I absolutely loved it. Now my preference for him has absolutely nothing to do with his politics and everything to do with the fact that he gives nicknames to everyone he knows. And I think that is awesome. I feel like you’re not truly my friend until I give you a nickname. Even my own children go by names that are completely different than the ones that are on their birth certificates. Nicknames are fun and personal and that is why George W. Bush rocks my world. The end.

My oldest son lost his first tooth last week. Now I don’t really care about Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny, but I want to make absolutely sure that my son believes in the Tooth Fairy. Thursday night he was so excited about the Tooth Fairy coming that he kept getting out of bed. My husband said loud enough for Liam to hear, “Did you hear that? I just heard fairy wings!” You better believe that he jumped into bed and was asleep in five minutes flat!

So the next day I picked Liam up from school as well as his five-year-old cousin. When he told her that the Tooth Fairy came to visit him last night, she bluntly announced to him that the “Tooth Fairy is just his parents, just like Santa and the Easter Bunny”. I argued with her that she thought that just because she hasn’t seen the Tooth Fairy yet. And Liam chimed in to defend me and said,

“Yeah, last night my dad HEARD her!”

(Yes!! He’s totally a believer!)
