Seersucker
My seersucker arrived in the mail earlier this morning. This is especially ironic timing considering what it's doing outside: snowing. School was cancelled today because we're supposed to be getting 3-6" over the course of the day. I don't think there's been a full week of school since sometime in January. Snow is something I never get sick of. Cold weather, yes, definitely, but throw some snow into the mix and it's all good.
Back to the fabric: I forgot that I had ordered an extra 1/2 yard of the seersucker after my mom mentioned if I ordered a little extra, I could make Henry some pants with it too. The question is, will we wear them at the same time, which also leads to the question of whether I can handle being openly mocked by my friends. (And possibly strangers.)
Henry woke up with a fever this morning. He hasn't eaten very much. So far I've tried to entice him with pumpkin pancakes, Cheerio's, crackers, even stooping so low as to give him a glazed donut leftover from last night's trip to Dunkin' Donuts, all to no avail. Spurned donut? He's definitely not feeling well. He did guzzle some orange juice and has since perked up significantly. For a while he was looking as though he might face-plant into the coffee table despite the shrieking and cackling emanating from the speakers in our TV courtesy of Elmo. It's going to be a big movie day over here I think. Right now he's sitting on my lap watching this on youtube over and over again. He loves it. It's got clocks, birds, drums, trains, and ferris wheels (actually gears) in it. What could be better?

did i ever tell you about the time when eric, otto and I were in Seattle, while eric was getting dressed in the bathroom I dressed otto in his seersucker overalls. eric came out of the bathroom wearing seersucker pants. Best part was that was it for clean clothes so they matched all day.
Otto is currently suffering through his first ear infection. we got our first bottle of the pink stuff this morning. i feel for you.

maybe i should make dave some seersucker pants too, thereby ensuring that everyone who sees us will be queasy from all the cuteness.
ear infections are the worst. with luck otto will think the pink stuff is delicious.
meanwhile, i still can't believe my kid spurned a donut.

Wow, no to a donut?! Poor guy must be miserable! Thomas missed his nap courtesy of the only (real) shopping trip we've gotten to do this visit with my mom, but seems none the worse for the wear. Probably helped by the "Beep-Beep" crocs and backpack my mom got him while we were there. Good luck getting rugrat well!

We saw those crocs at the mall last weekend. My parents put up a good case for getting them, but Henry was so not into wearing his clogs last year that I decided not to. Lucky Thomas!
