Sibling-itis

Colin never ceases to amaze us with his inquiries. Yesterday he arrived home from school, started taking everything out of his backpack to begin homework and then he looked at Ryan and me and asked if either one of us had ever heard of "sibling-itis". I was actually on the phone but paused to listen to what Colin was asking. Ryan and I kind of glanced at one another, both of us thinking that he is now feeling some sort of issue with his siblings. "Sibling-itis" apparently is when siblings are a bit jealous of one another. Thankfully Colin stated that he has not experienced this personally but had read about it and wanted to know if we had ever been there.

I cautiously write that Pryce is on the mend. I am from the "anything above 98.6 is a fever" school. I have been taking his temp three times a day, morning, noon and night.....MK has noticed this and now walks around with the thermometer in her hand saying, "mama, pryce?" With that said, his body temp continues to register anywhere from 99 to 99.9. And he is so tired. He has taken a good two hour nap everyday for the past week and then has asked to go to bed at 7:30 in the evening, not like him at all. He has acted more normal today and has not needed cough meds. He will return to school for the remainder of the week but only on a half day basis. We are all praying that he is 100% soon!

And Mason-Kate....she had her six month speech evaluation done today by her therapist. It was not a big shock to me that she exceeded in all areas, scoring over 100 in each category. She knows her colors, she says two word phrases, and so on. I am happy that she is doing so well but with a passing score, this most likely means that we will no longer qualify for speech services. I am going to request another evaluation to be done in three months just to make sure that all is still well.

15 days until Christmas! My boys are so excited! And MK walks around the house sporting her Santa bag and saying "ho, ho, ho". Too cute!
