Mar. 7 - Goofs

Love my boy.  Love keeping the front door open and breathing in the fresh air all day long.  Love our screened-in porch.  Love my boy.  ...Wait, I already said that!  ;)  Oh, and today was a photo-a-day skip day, so don't be thinking I never change my child's clothes/pajamas!

Mar. 6 - Magnolia

This is Magnolia, our 6 year old cat.  Yes, she has one green eye and one blue; most cats with this odd eye color combo are born deaf as well, but not our Maggie here.  Other Maggie oddities:  sleeping on her back, enjoying a belly scratch, does tricks with hand signals for treats such as "sit," "lay down," "give me your paw," and "lick" ("lick" gets her to lick her own paw).  Smart kitty.

Mar. 5 - Ham

Our little ham...  Griffin told me again today, while eating lunch this time, that he wanted to go potty, and voila!  It appears that he really doesn't like going in his diaper after seeing that there is another way to do things.  Also, he quite likes the hullabaloo resulting from his efforts.

Mar. 4 - Couldn't Believe My Eyes

How precious is this?  A boy excited to see his father return home...It doesn't get much more precious than that.  I must also mention that Griffin loves to go out on the porch to say "bye bye" and blow kisses to his papa, and he always gets super excited when Oliver comes home again.  Today's events were such an odd combo.  Last night, I started to feel increasingly sick, and I woke up feeling as though I had been hit by a truck.  Oliver doesn't have class on Fridays, so he decided to take Griffin to the childrens' museum downtown (called "Eduventure," which is why Griffin has that red "E" sticker on his back in this photo) and let me rest!  What a wonderful husband I have!  Later in the day, Griffin signed that he wanted to use the potty, which I was pretty incredulous about; however, I put him on the pot just to show him that making the sign for "potty" would result in him getting to sit on the potty (which he loves).  To my great surprise, it wasn't long before he went both #1 and #2!  What a surprise!  Is it possible for a child to potty train themselves?!  Later in the afternoon, Griffin accidentally knocked my coffee over onto my laptop and all down in the keys.  For the second time today, I couldn't believe what I was seeing!  I quickly turned it off and turned it upside-down until we determined we needed to take it in to a local place we know of A.S.A.P.  What a day!  All these things coupled with the fact that I can barely walk or move my arms today, because I started a new workout video yesterday, makes for a very interestingly odd day!

March 2 - Rough Week

Fast-forward to tomorrow, and we got out as a family to our lovely zoo.  It was an absolutely beautiful day, complete with sunshine & a cool breeze.  Fortunately, Griffin seems to be on the mend, & hopefully that will translate into more consistent daily photos :)

Mar. 1 - Squatter

Today was another sick day in the Thompson household, with Griffin still running a fever, getting congested, and having watery eyes, and me still feeling weak, nauseous, tired, and dizzy.  Griffin has been running a fever on and off for almost 5 days now, so I think a trip to the pediatrician is in order soon.  Thankfully, Oliver had a photography project to work on with Griffin today, so I chose one of his photos to use as today's shot.  Good job, Ollie.
