Disgusting!

This is Nicole's new word of the week it would seem. She was putting on her boots at daycare and there was a wood chip in her boot. I was informed that "wood chips are disgusting". There was dirt on her window in the van that was also "disgusting". She stopped just short of calling dinner (mashed potatoes) disgusting. It's amazing what a stern look from mommy will do. :)

Julia has some virus it seems. And so winter truly begins. She had a fever this morning and has been extra grumpy this week. I assumed ear infection since she's had a lot of them lately. But her ears look good, so she just had a virus. But the dr told me that he wouldn't be surprised if this virus gives her an ear infection. Oh goody, I see another dr visit coming up in a week or so. Tubes were mentioned by the dr for the first time today. I think if this does turn into an ear infection we will start talking about tubes.

Mark has been away this week, he gets back tonight. Julia has been missing him like crazy! This morning I went in to get her (she was crying) and she took one look at me and said "NO, Daddy!". Every day she looks at a family picture and specifically points out Daddy. I think Nicole missed him, but not in the same way. She has a better understanding that he's coming back.
