The last 24 hours have been a bit of a mess. I took Jonathan to the peds yesterday to find out he's got bronchitis and a mild ear infection. Then I ran around to get his meds filled and battled a couple of miscommunications that just slowed it all down. I was pretty stressed out by it all. By the time I got home, I was able to give him his meds and lay him down for a bit. He seems to be reacting well to them so far and is willing to take them, so that's really good. He's not a huge fan of soup, but it's making me feel better. His nose is still very clogged and his cough is still there, but I guess it's getting better. We'll see if his fever has gone down, or I'll take him back in on Thursday.

I'm dying here...J2's been in three sit-and-thinks already this morning...and he's only been up for 1.5 hrs. It's going to be a long day!!! Well, he seemed to have gotten all his sassiness out of him first thing; no more s-a-t's for the rest of the day.

He's also doing two very strange things now during mealtimes. 1) he seems to have regressed, wanting me to spoon-feed him everything. I'm hoping this is just b/c he's not feeling great. 2) he likes to hold things in his mouth like a chipmunk for a -- sometimes a very long -- while. That's a very strange habit, and I'm not sure where it came from.

Construction is moving along, although we keep hitting snags that slow the process down. (Ie pocket door in the wrong place, etc) So much for the 1-week timeframe...I think it'll be more like 3+. Did I say "moving along"? the demo guys were back today to put down flooring, but the electrician never showed up...which meant the inspection couldn't have happened today (again). We are anticipating lots of snow overnight, so we may not have any workers tomorrow, depending...did I say 3+ weeks?

When Dave got home, he and J2 measured lots of the new construction. J2 turned to me and said, "Mommy, it's two inches and a half," referring to the hole in the door where the lock goes. How cute. The three of us talked about how important knowing your numbers is if you like to measure things. A nice family moment.
