Kisses All Better & Big Boy

Porter LOVES helping Daddy fix things, and when it came time to fix the toilet it was no different. (December 30th) Porter had to have a glove on and his own tool. It was to say the least...ADORABLE.

Then Aaron installed a much needed bathroom side mirror-cabinet (to de-clutter the sink). Porter wanted to get in on the action and help clean the mirrors. My little Porter is really a great helper.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this age (Porter is almost 2 1/2) because a kiss makes everything better and immediately stops the crying. This day Porter stubbed his toe so when he started crying I asked him where it hurt. He pointed to his toes and said "Right there." I gave his foot a kiss and like magic..."All better!" Then Porter gave himself a kiss on the toes. CUTE!

December 20 I took Porter to see his doctor (Dr. Cain) and he made a little friend in the waiting room (we were there for awhile). I took him in for a bad cold and persistent cough that was waking him up at night and interrupting naps. Doc said it wasn't allergies, but could be either a sinus infection or asthma. Porter is too young to be tested for asthma so he suggested we treat him with an antibiotic and if he was better at the end, then it was probably sinus infection. If not we would talk and go from there. After 10 day of medicine Porter had four glorious days snot-free and cough-free, but then got something again. Called the doc and he said the days of health were a good sign so let's try a different antibiotic. We have and Porter's been good the past couple weeks! Let's keep it that way.

My sweet family taking a nap together; everyone fits in the Lazy Boy...except me. Aaron has to feel loved. These three (son and two dogs) worship him. They just love him and can't wait until he gets home everyday.
Don't mind the little man. Just enjoying some good reading material while doing his business. (picture taken December 21st) Such a big boy!

Poor sick kids! Mine have all had the gunk too. Jerzie has been better with 2 weeks off of nursery, then of course we take her yesterday, and she wakes up with an eye infection today! Ugh! Thank goodness for Dr. Cain, we just may have to visit him tomorrow. He's the best!
