Last night Keaton came into our room not feeling well. While Jarrek was getting the thermometer Keaton was sniffing and told me "I have eye boogers in my nose". He took on BIG sniff and got upset, "I can't get the eye boogers back up to my eyes". Where do they come up with these things? Anyway, he had fever so he slept with us. He put his feet on me and it felt like they were on fire! He told me that his feet felt like hot fire on his skin. Poor baby.
Both kids had a 'holiday' today. Tatum's school had conferences so I went up to meet with her teacher about her progress. Her teacher had nothing but great things to say. She showed me some of the assessments that they use and I was very excited to see Tatum scored higher than the expectations (she actually surpassed the expectations for the middle of the year)! I also got to see her writing journal, which was very interesting.
On the way home from church (I go to a yoga/pilates class on Mon. nights) Tatum noticed the moon. It wasn't dark yet, but you could see the moon already and it was full. She gazed up at the moon and spoke..."Oh, mom it is so beautiful! I love how it shines, but not too bright and how it is white." I told them when it got dark we would go out and looked at the full moon. So, at dark Jarrek got out our telescope and showed the kids the moon. They were amazed at how cool it looked. Tatum again thought it was beautiful. Keaton thought it was neat and in case you didn't know, there are astronauts on the moon. Keaton saw them. What a great imagination!
Jarrek then moved the telescope to look at another star. It was too far away and our telescope doesn't zoom in very well so it just looked like a big shiny ball. You could see the colors of the rainbow and Keaton thought it was so cool that he saw a 'rainbow star'.
As we were getting ready for bed, I felt Keaton's head to see if he had fever:
Keaton: Do I have fever?
Me: No, you feel funny. (I was thinking clammy, but he wouldn't know what that was)
Keaton: Maybe I am turning into a creature.
Me: Maybe.
Ok, so my child is strange!
Weston has gotten into a bad habit of sucking on his hands. I have tried to give him a pacie, but he gags and makes the most horrible face. When he is totally wiped out he will suck on it long enough to calm down and then starts to gag. So now he sucks on his hands and has given himself two hickeys! What is up with my kids?

Amy! Love the blog... I laughed out loud on a number of occassions. I have a website for Jackson you should check out. I keep a journal on there and have a couple of entries about Jackson giving himself hickeys too! Here's the link: http://www.totsites.com/tot/jacksondustin
Looks like both of the hickey posts are on page 2 of the journal. He was between 5 and 6 mos when he did that. He has always slept with a pacifier so even if Weston did take one, he might still enjoy his hand more! And as a side note, Jackson just turned 9mos last week and has not given himself anymore hickeys since I wrote about it, so it should pass!
Hope all the kids are feeling better! You have me addicted now!
