Happy birthday, Justin!

Yesterday was Justin's birthday and we got to go on a date to Lawrence to celebrate! Would have been perfect had the Hawks won, but we still enjoyed our time together. Elle has been sick lately - battling ear infections. So, she's been at the doctor's Thursday, Friday & Saturday to get injections. The ear pain, cough, and insomnia from steroids has made her sleep rocky at best. She was so exhausted Saturday because she had so little sleep Friday night that she was just a mess. We got a little more sleep last night (it's all relative at this point) and she's in a happier mood today. We're keeping our fingers crossed that she'll sleep better tonight. That would be J's favorite birthday present, I'm sure!

Will picked out a present for Daddy -- a Snow White DVD. Thoughtful, don't you think? :)

Here's to a healthier, more restful week.

Fashion police

Let me recount the conversation when Justin walked downstairs after changing his clothes this evening.

Will: "Daddy, why do you have those big boy underwear on?"
Justin: "These aren't big boy underwear, Will. They're shorts."
W: "Daddy, why do you have those short pants on?"
J: "Because it's hot outside, Will."
W: "You need different shorts on, Daddy."

So, in addition to his attention to detail we can now add fashion sense to Will's repertoire.

Happy Birthday to Justin!

Happy happy birthday to my amazing husband!
Will sat on his lap yesterday morning and said, "Daddy, you're my best friend in the whole world. Ever." Pretty sure nothing I wrap up can compare with that for a great birthday present!

While Will was in his question-answering mood the other day, I asked him some questions about Daddy to share for his birthday.
What makes Daddy happy? "Yo Gabba Gabba" [this is a trippy TV show for toddlers - we don't watch it much, but I'm sure it does make Justin laugh!]
What makes Daddy sad? "kicking and hitting"
What was Daddy like when he was a little boy? "He had to go on a bus."
How old is Daddy? "3!"
What does Daddy do at work? "Eats and talks and looks at the 'puter" [that's computer if you're not familiar]
What is Daddy's favorite food? "Sandwich and chips. Daddy likes donuts too."
What do you and Daddy do together? "Play Elefun!"
How are you and Daddy the same? "We both like toys."
Where is Daddy's favorite place to go? "Work"
What do you think Daddy wants for his birthday? "cake and ice cream"

And I'm sure Eleanor would also say that Daddy is her best friend in the whole world, too. But for now, "da da da" will have to do!

Happy birthday! We love you!
