Well, now Elijah has some spots. I’ve never seen a kid so happy to be sick! He’s calling himself “Mr. Pox” and shouting with glee about being all “poxy”. He insisted on going around the room and showing each and every family member the small bump that he found on his knee. He’s such a silly little monkey! Suffice it to say, he’s still feeling pretty well. Both boys took their herbs and are now resting peacefully.

Still nothing on my teeny-tiny guy. I’ve read that sometimes breastfeeding gives little ones immunity while they are still getting a lot of milk. Galen eats a good amount of solid food, but he still nursed a lot too. We’ll see…

I just brought up a pile of utensils, vegetables and fruits to get a jump start on food prep for tomorrow. My fresh batch of chicken stock is all set to go. I’m going to try to make borscht in the crock pot over night tonight. While I was down gathering up supplies I decided to try my baked squash and apples recipe in the smaller crock pot. The boys love it and it’s been a long time since we’ve had it. It will make a nice breakfast treat and save me from having to be awake enough to figure out a healthy meal first thing in the morning!

I published an old post that I could get to go through before because of picture difficulties. It posts at the original first draft date, so you will have to go back a page to see it.

We were looking at pictures of Elijah when he was Galen’s age tonight. So sweet! I wanted to post a few, but I seem to be having picture posting problems…again…
