A bad cough

Jonas has had this terrible cough the past week. It sounds like it hurts him a lot, but he's only said it hurt once in the past week. We've been giving him children's Robitussin, which seems to be having little to no effect on him whatsoever. He does, however, complain that it is "spicy!" and makes a hilarious face when we give it to him.


The past several days Jonas has run out of the house yelling that he wants to "dive dar!" (Drive car!). His new favorite thing is to sit in the driver's seat of the car and play with all of the buttons, fix the a/c pretend to turn the wheel, etc. It's super cute, and keeps him well occupied. He has gotten pretty upset that I wouldn't give him the keys and let him actually dive the dar. Poor kid.


Yesterday when he was diving the dar, he decided Rudy needed to come in too, so he opened up the door to call him... of course, as you and I know, car doors have a couple of preset openings, and Jonas failed to let go once he started opening the door, so he got dragged out of the dar by the door. Luckily (ish) I saw what was happening and tried to stop it by grabbing his shirt. All this did, however, was slow his descent to the pavement. He still sloooooowly fell face first on the pavement. Sure, he didn't really get hurt, it just scared him... and was hilarious.


Yesterday Jonas also decided to give me his Taggie for me to take to work. Brandon was trying to get him comfortable with the idea that he wasn't going to be able to take Taggie with him to school anymore, and he suggested that maybe mommy needed it more than Joe did. So he thought it over for a minute, then ran into the kitchen holding out Taggie and said "Take Taggie, Mommy, take Taggie." It was sooo cute, so I had to take it! It kept my feet warm all the way to work.


Today is picture day at Joe's school... I wonder how that will go... wow, speaking of school, he has been doing so well using the potty at school, and at home, actually. It's been super! Last Thursday, Lisa picked Joe up from school, and told us about a story he told her from his school day. I will do my best to remember it verbaetum:


L:Joe, did you play with your friends today?

J: seeees. (yes)

L: Cool! Who did you play with?

J: Christina. (yes, he did pronounce it properly)

L: Christina? What did you and Christina play?

J: My toy! My toy! No! MY TOY!

L: Did you have a fight over a toy with Christina?

J: seees.

L: Well, what did Christina do?

J: Peeees (please)

L: and then what did you do?

J: sair toy (share toy).

More adoreableness.


Work is going ok. I may have some work to do by tomorrow... but I'm not holding my breath for it.
