Poor Vic

Well it's 11:46 and Victor is up for the 4th time tonight. He's sooo itchy and hot and just miserable. He's trying to itch everywhere all at once. I even gave him Benadryl at bedtime hoping it would help, but no luck so far. The poor little guy. He's got about 4 times more chicken pox tonight than he had this morning. I've never seen a child with SO many chicken pox. Hopefully we get some sleep tonight.

Victor's Pox

Two weeks to the day after his big brother, Vic started to break out. He told me he really doesn't want to have the chicken pox, but needless to say, he has them anyway. I don't know if its the heat wave, but he has way more of them than Warren did.... especially on his cute little face. It' hard to see in the pictures but he has some wee tiny ones around his eyes and even some in his ears. Hopefully they don't get too itchy. I'm off to run the tub with more Aveeno oatmeal bath stuff!

All Better

Thank goodness Warren got his spots when he did! This past Thursday was his fieldtrip to African Lion Safari and he was all better and ready to go. It was great fun. There were only a few people at the 3:00 elephant show and so Warren was lucky enough to have the elephant hand him the toonie off the ground. He wasn't sure about it at all, but he really enjoyed seeing all the animals and petting the elephants.

He's not laughing today :(

Warren was feeling down and out last weekend. He just wasn't himself and he had no appetite. On Tuesday evening he started breaking out with spots.... lots of spots... the pictures don't hardly do it justice, but here they are just the same. All in all he's taking it pretty good. Last night was tough during the night as he was really itchy and just sick of having chicken pox. But today has been not bad. And yes, I do feed him, lots and lots and lots but he sure is skinny.

A sense of humour

It's always fun to watch the kids start to develop their own personality. Warren is just starting to really develop his sense of humour. The other day he was trying it out.... he said to me "See you later crocodile". So I tried to explain to him that he didn't quite have it right. I said "It's see you later alligator, In a while crocodile." He thought for a minute and then got a great big grin as he said, "see you later sweet potater".... I thought he was hilarious, and so did he. Keep those wheels turning Max!

Happy Birthday Victor!

Today my baby turned 4 years old. Time slips away! It's hard to believe he was so very tiny when he was born, only 6 lbs. By the time he was 3 weeks old he was only 5lbs 10 oz, so he had kind of slow start... but he certainly has made up for it in spades.

Funny kid too, yesterday he received a spiderman suitcase from his godparents, Uncle George & Aunt Joanne, and then lastnight my parents brought him spiderman pajamas. Mom told him now he has matching suitcase and jammies for when he goes on sleepovers. Apparently he took that as an invitation and he packed the rest of his bag, including jammies, his teddy bear, socks, pants, shirt and Caroline's mini-skirt.... not quite sure how that happened... anyway... thank goodness it suited for him to go along home to grandma's for a sleepover because he certainly had his little heart set on it.

Happy Birthday Vic, now please quit growing so fast :)
