Today wasn’t a good day in our house. It started 2 nights ago when Violet threw up in her bed, repeatedly. It seemed like it would be better after she was fin all day but then while she was sitting in the high chair, up came her last bottle and probably everything she had that afternoon. So we got her squared away and we were just hopping that Jacob wouldn’t get what ever it was making Violet sick. Of course that hope was dashed a couple hours after he went to bed. It was a long night, I’m not sure how many bed sheets we went through, but it seemed like a lot.
I probably would have gone to work, except in the morning he was unable to keep down even water, so I stayed home to help out. Jacob spent the morning sleeping and the afternoon lounging. Violet seemed ok, not great, but there was no throw up so that was a plus. To be fair Jacob didn’t through up again after his morning scare. It was a long day. To make it more fun both Melissa and I spent the day feeling sick. Though we both managed to keep from throwing up. For me the key to that was the subject of tonight’s picture. Here is hoping that every one has a better night.
This morning was a busy morning. We had Jacob’s Swimming a visit with Melissa’s dad and then a trip to nofrills to get some groceries. It proved just a little to much for Violet. About half way through nofrills she couldn’t take it any more and passed out. It was suck a cute moment, we had to capture it for Project 365.
Today while sitting downstairs I heard a little voice call, ‘Daddy I need your help’. So I went up to see what my little guy wanted. He wanted to do his train set in a different way, using the Firehouse. So I spent an enjoy able evening with my son playing trains. We used a lot of the pieces he got for Christmas to put his track together in a way similar to how it looked on the box, but with our own touches. It’s a great way to spend an evening. The train table is one of Jacob’s favourite toys, it can be The Island of Sodor when he’s playing Thomas and Friends, or its the track to the North Pole when he’s playing Polar Express. It’s a lot of fun for Jacob, Me and even Violet who likes to stand at the side and grab trains.
Tonight Jacob and I did another building project. We put together the Marble Toy that we got him for Christmas. It’s a lot of fun, though I think he might be a little young for it. He likes it but he’s more into watching the marble then putting it together. I’m sure that as he grows and we play with it more he’ll get more interested in putting it together. For now, it’s more of a daddy toy and that is fun too.
Violet chows down on some veggies for lunch. She’s trying so hard to feed herself. Most of the time she uses her hands, but she is trying so hard to use a spoon. It seemed the perfect moment to capture for Project 365. After all before I know it she’ll be walking and talking.
Tonight is Christmas eve and we tried to do expand our family traditions to include our youngest member of the family. Of course it’s taken all the evening and I haven’t found time to blog. I was hoping to just post some pictures, but as I went through them I realized that we took a lot and it would take time to go through them. So until I can find the right pictures you’ll have to be content with words.
Tonight was a great night with dinner at Melissa’s dad. There was presents for the kids and a good time was had by all. Then it was home for our Christmas Eve presents, a book and Pajamas. Then into the PJ’s and read A night before Christmas, put out the Milk and Cookies, hang the Santa Key and off to bed. Which is were I should be heading soon. Stay tuned for more of an update tomorrow.
Last night after I posted the old video of Jacob skating I managed to finish up the new one. I hope to do more then just post video and pictures during my vacation but I’m not promising anything. So without further delay on to the video:
