Our Little Magician

Ethan, or "The Amazing Ethan", whichever you prefer, learned a magic trick. He always says "watch this...", then does his trick (sorry the video is sideways...couldn't figure out how to rotate it). Make sure you turn on your sound so you can hear his "watch this..." in his very magician-like voice :).

The Yucks

Well, it's been a bit of a rough couple of days in our household. Ethan came down with a terrible barky cough early Wednesday morning...sounded HORRIBLE. We took him to urgent care and it turns out he has croup. No treatment necessary except his inhaler (only needs it when he is sick). As of this morning, his cough isn't as dry and we think he's on the mend.

On that same day (Wednesday), Ethan fell asleep around 2:30, so I decided to give John a bath while daddy napped with Ethan. After 30 minutes of splashing around in the tub, he was ready to get out. Long story short, he stood up and went to step out of the tub, slipped and caught the under side of his chin on the edge of the tub. I was literally inches away ready to wrap him up in a towel and just couldn't catch him. Lots of bleeding and another trip to urgent care later, John ended up with 3 stitches. He was sooooo brave...didn't cry at all.

Now, they've both had stitches. We're hoping for an uneventful weekend :). Here's a picture of our brave boy, John, at the doctor's office getting his chin "fixed"...

Crapcorn

Dear John,

The correct pronunciation is "pop-corn".

Love,
Mommy
