Quarantine!

This week, our darling boy brought home a nasty cold. Being the loving thoughtful son that he is, Nathan looked up at me and said, "Mom, I love you sooo much, I am going to show my love through sharing." Like magic, I had his cold too! He also chose to love Aaron, and his Grandpa Pete.

I finally broke down, and took him to the doctor today. As my son is laughing and smiling in the waiting room, I'm thinking ,"Why am I here? He is feeling better already." Then the doctor looks at me and says, "well, what we have here is a blessing and a curse. Obviously, Nathan weathers illness pretty well, and has a high tollerance, but that makes it hard for you to know when he's really that sick." And Nathan is that sick! It turns out that he hasn't been sleeping through the night, or getting any better because he has an ear infection in both ears! But now with antibiotics administered, and soothing ear drops soothing, we hope our little boy will soon be sleeping through the night again (b/c I need some sleep!)

Wrass-lin'

Fur was flying, babies were giggling, but when the smoke cleared Nathan won!

To My Future Daughter-in-Law

I am trying to teach my son early how to clean up after himself. If he forgets everything I taught him by the time he becomes your responsibility, I'm sorry. . I tried!
At the Pritchett house, it is never to early to start with chores. Who cares if the vacuum cleaner is more than twice Nathan's size! When the labor is free, beggers can't be choosers.

Reading Buddies

I am amazed at how well our cats have adapted to life with Nathan - almost. Kitty can still run faster than any animal I have ever seen when Nathan starts scooting her way. But Booger...well, she just figures if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

The Pritchett Family Online!

After thinking about it for a long time, I have given in! Blogging makes the most sense for those of us with family scattered throughout the South (and for those of us who are extremely bad at correspondence!) I hope that I will now be able to share regular updates of our precious son.

First up - Easter pictures!
