Thanks Mom and Dad!

We hit a milestone we were hoping to avoid this weekend...Henry's first sickness! Henry was tugging at his ears and running a low fever yesterday morning and he just seemed as if he was feeling yucky so we called the Microsoft nurse line and they sent a doctor to our house!!! It was straight out of the 1950's having her come to our house was soooo nice! Microsoft really has great insurance and health services! So after some screaming and ear checking Henry ended up with an ear infection in both ears! Poor guy has been in pain and I feel so bad! So we have been pumping him with Motrin and snuggling him like crazy (the only good part of him being sick). His fever is still coming and going but he is definitely on the mend. He has been quite a trooper and honestly taking this ear infection better than either Bill or I would. His sleep has been a little off but we already have a regular wake time of 5am so not much can throw us at this point! He has had his moments of ouch but is still full of smiles and wanting to play! Below is a picture and video of some fun we had this weekend! We got Henry a new toy and he finally mastered throwing the ball which is so awesome! Though this is not going to be the worst sickness he ever has, I am sure we have many all night vomit parties and such in our future, I finally understand how awful you feel when your child is sick. I never had thought about my parents much when I was sick. I just knew they would help me get better. It never occurred to me that it was emotionally draining to them and that they were losing sleep and watching my every breath to make sure I was alright. I definitely had the urge over the past 24 hours to call both my parents and say thank you!! I now also understand how my mom could fall asleep by 9pm on Saturday night! I guess more of these realizations will happen over the years. It is pretty neat to discover things about your parents and childhood while raising your own child.
