This is a video that was taken last weekend of JSL and JL together. The little guy looks like he is having some spasms, but alas he is trying to get JL to do something to him that he found hilarious.

As the little guy said at the end – Buh-bye!
My boys love seeing people. This is especially true when it comes to visiting my grandmother – we call her Mimi. NHL’s nursery school just happens to be right next door to the apartment building where my grandmother lives. Almost every day when we leave he asks to go and see her. Wednesday I surprised him with the new that we were going there to play for a little while. After some "fun" in the car that almost canceled the visit, we continued on our way.
I have to say it is wonderful to watch everyone interact. I do not know who enjoys it more, my grandmother or the boys. Here are some photos from their visit.
JSL has gotten very attached to Mimi. He loves when she sings songs to him. While there on Wednesday he wanted some water and was making too much of a mess with his sippy cup. Mimi helped him to sip some water from a big boy cup. He loved it!
Of course I had to get a photo of Mimi kisses!
Before eating some chicken soup with matzah balls NHL went for a ride in his favorite chair.
JSL wanted to be with Mimi to see things. He was very curious about this container and wanted to see what was inside.
We stayed for several hours until it was time to meet JL home for dinner. NHL had such a great time that he went to sleep quickly. A little while later JSL woke up and we found NHL in his bed in a way that was not so good.
Thank goodness we found him before he went off the bed. After the photo was taken I moved him back up to the pillow end of the bed.
More adventures to be shared later.
Now that everyone is as healthy as we have been in months (I will not dare to say we are healthy – that would be bad news), it is time to play some catch up. Last week NHL was home sick from school and I then had what he was ill with, so blogging took a back seat.
***Note to self: Be sure to work on the new rules of sharing with NHL. There are limits that are acceptable – flu is not included!
Last week I blogged, but I did not write as much as I have in the past since I was so exhausted at the end of the day. Thankfully I had the energy to take photos. Here are some highlights of the week gone by.
On Monday (3/24) JSL decided to try NHL’s Doodle Pro. He had fun with it at first and then realized that his big brother was missing.
He set off on a mission to find NHL in their room. This was by far one of his longest crawling adventures to date!
Finally he arrived at the destination of choice.

On Wednesday (3/26) I gave each of the boys a little gift. I wanted to give NHL something for doing his nebulizer treatment. JSL received a Fisher Price Little People egg that had a little boy in it. It was an Easter toy, but aside from the egg holding it you would never know. I was a sport for $1 (and the next day they were ten cents). JSL was in LOVE with his new toy. He would throw it out in front of himself and crawl to it. Here he is playing with me while NHL slept on the couch.

By Friday (3/28) NHL was going stir crazy from being in the house all week. We had to come up with things to keep him busy. All of this while Mommy was getting a fever and horrible body aches.

On Sunday (3/30) I was feeling slightly better. I forced myself to do all of the laundry from the week that had not been done. NHL went to his room for being naughty and actually fell asleep. At the same time JSL fell asleep in an interesting position on Daddy.
After both boys were up from their naps, JSL decided he wanted his sippy cup. He noticed that he was under the dining room table. I thought it was hilarious how he was hunting for the cup. I grabbed my camera. Soon after this JL got his out and was shooting away with me.
NHL even got into the act, but he apparently forgot his camera.
At one point both JL and I were taking a shot at the exact same time. The result of the front and back shot of this moment is really neat (also know that I was taking this photos blind since my hands were under the table and my head above).
In the end we gave him some quiet time after bombarding him with all of the flashes from the camera. As you can see he just wanted to drink some water and read the newspaper!
So that is a sick week in review via photos of some memorable moments.
