wearing red

Liam was wearing a lot of red on Monday, but it wasn't to celebrate Valentine's Day. I got a call in the early morning that my little valentine was not feeling well at daycare and had a temperature of 103.5. The night before was a rough  night for all of us. Liam just did not want to sleep. I thought maybe he was anxious and exciting about Valentine's Day and was wondering if his crush would give him a valentine...hah just kidding. But he really did not sleep much at all, which also meant that Andrew and I did not sleep at all. He was whinny and just could not seem to get comfortable. So I picked him up from daycare and his cheeks were SO red and hot. I took him to his pediatrician and we were then sent to the emergency room at Albany Med. To make a long day story short Liam was  kind of diagnosed with pneumonia.  Kind of meaning that this diagnosis is inconclusive. Base on his symptoms and a small spot in one of his lungs, it could be pneumonia or it could be just a viral infection. The spot on his lung could have just been part of his lung that didn't full expand when the x-ray was taken (which we were reassured was totally normal and happens in all of us).

So after being home for two more days, getting a lot of snuggle time in, harassing Olive and being the sweet little boy he is, he is finally starting to feel better. He returned to daycare today where they has another Valentine's Day party so Liam could be part of it. He did great and is almost back to his ol' self.

So I guess you could say this is a Valentine's Day we won't forget anytime soon.

Olive- Lovey-Liam

Liam and Olive have a love/hate relationship. I guess I caught one of their "love" moments. Olive really loves Liam, but it is usually on her terms. I am not sure what they were both looking at, but it allowed for a few moments of snuggling and Liam petting Olive.

There are a few new tidbits going on in the Gregory home. Thought I would share:

1. Mama got a new job! Yahoo! I start my new position at NorthEast Parent and Child Society on February 28th. While I am very excited about taking on this new challenge, I also am a bit anxious. Change is good!

2. We are a pacifier free home! Liam has been doing great this week with going to bed without a pacifier. That is the only time he has been using it, so we were unsure of how he would be without it at all. So far, so good. I have thrown out his pacifiers to reduce temptation to just give it to him. He has been fussing a bit once he is put down for the night, but usually doesn't fuss for too long. I think Lovey has been helpful with getting rid of the pacifier, since all he ever wants is Lovey.

We found a new place to take Liam to on the weekends...Mimi's KidsClub . Liam had a blast and so did Andrew and I. It is a great spot for him to run off his energy, be around other kids and to have fun! It will also be a great place to have future birthday parties.

Here are a few photos from our snow day this past week. It was a good day to nap, make cookies, eat, go sledding and read books.
