Day 304 = December 31, 2010

I went to work for part of the day and thank goodness everything went smoothly. While I was away, Ron took this funny picture of Simon attempting to climb on our bed using his teeth. I guess his teeth must still be itchy.

We let Simon try some kiwi for the first time tonight.

First piece in…

Hmm…

Ugh… what? another piece?

I don’t want anymore!!

After we tasted it, we realized that it was kind of sour so Simon probably did not like that. After dinner, Simon and I had our playtime. He was really interested in his yellow bucket again. Either chewing on the edge or making sounds into it so that it would echo.

He seems to be learning to put the blocks “in” but then will take them “out” right away. Check out his round belly! It looks like he is turning into an “outie”.

Simon went to bed pretty early, around 7:30pm. He’s still having a very runny nose and cough so he’s probably still exhausted from his illness. His PJs tonight are a mismatched because we haven’t had time to do laundry and we have less sets of PJs now. He’s grown out of most of them so has maybe 6 sets (?) that he can still fit but he only wears them for 2 or 3 nights before they get dirty and require washing.

I am sick too with runny nose and sore throat so I also needed to rest so went to sleep the same time Simon did. My nose is pretty raw from blowing it often these last 2-3 days and I’m always feeling dehydrated even though I’ve been drinking as much water as possible. I’ve been taking high dose vitamin C + zinc and my throat seems a lot better. So I slept a few hours then woke up to have dinner and waiting until midnight to strike.

This set of champagne and wine glasses is from my friend Gary. We’ve had it for quite a few years so hoping it has kept well.
