Rough Week!

Phew! It has been a rough week in the Holleman household. This week we were visited by a nasty stomach bug that caught Joshua on Monday and had ahold of both Mike and myself by Wednesday. Three VERY sick people under one roof = an exhausting week of trying to keep hydrated, attempting to keep something, ANYTHING in our stomachs, being sick as a dog while chasing a busy toddler and disinfecting EVERYTHING! Joshua got the worst of it, poor boy. Those of you who know this kid know he must be sick if he passes up food! Thankfully, we are all feeling much better, Mommy has disinfected the entire house once AGAIN, and things seem to be back to normal. Praise the Lord!



This morning, Joshua had oatmeal for breakfast again. He started out with a spoon, but soon became impatient and started shoveling handfuls of the goop into his mouth. When Mommy turned around, this is what she found...



Is that not the sweetest, orneriest, I-know-something-you-don't-know smile you've ever seen?



Daddy's proudest moment this week was when he taught Joshua to say "Touchdown!" He throws his arms into the air and shouts, "Down!" Just too darn cute!

Our little man is becoming quite independent lately. His new favorite word is, "Yeah." Sometimes he knows what it means (ie. when I ask, "Do you want a sippy cup?" He responds with "Yeah."), but other times he does it just to bug his momma. For example, lately when I say, "No," to him, he looks at me, grins, and says, "YEAH!" I'll repeat, "No," and he says, "YEAH." "No. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah..." Well, you get the picture. Oh boy...have we really hit the I'm-going-to-do-exactly-the-opposite-of-whatever-you-say stage ALREADY!?!?



Anyway, we are ending this day by eating whatever we want (hey, we've hardly eaten anything all week!) and watching a movie. We hope you all are managing to stay healthy! Blessings!
