Snuggle time

Well, we’re finishing out the month of February the way we started it – with a visit to the doctor.

I took this one in for a rash she had developed, thinking she was having an allergic reaction to something and we left with a positive strep test and antibiotics. Poor baby. The doctor said the words “scarlet fever” and I may have freaked out a little bit because we’re reading through the Little House books and I vaguely remember someone going blind from that. 😉 The “pink medicine” was a big hit. So was snuggling up with blankets and a movie with Mama.

Every so often, we are reminded of how tender this little boy’s heart is. We watched the movie Bolt for pizza movie night and there’s a scene where Bolt feels rejected. There are so many other scenes in the move where he’s hurt or scared and those didn’t bother Parker at all, but the scene where Bolt’s heart was hurting made Parker start crying. We looked over and he was just quietly wiping away tears. My sweet boy.

Little Miss will rarely sit still for an entire movie but she could watch “Kate movies” (our favorite beauty blogger’s how-to videos) all day. 😉

These two are pretty much inseparable. Now that Nathan’s arm is in a half-cast, he’s been outside with Parker every single day. It’s still freezing outside so I always make them put on jackets before they go outside. Notice them all piled on the bench behind them. Boys.
