Oliver had a bad case of croup and was sick for FIVE long days, with fevers for four of those. I can now talk temperature in Celsius pretty well....his fever was up to 39.5. (for those Americans reading that's 103.5) and he was up allll night coughing, miserable, trying to breathe hot, etc. When he did sleep he had terrible nightmares about bad guys chasing him in a car or climbing into his bed to 'get him." Poor baby. Which means Mary and I got very little sleep last week either. Amelia was fresh as a flower.
He has said some really odd things at breakfast recently, which I link to the fever having scrambled his brain.
Episode 1
Oliver looks up from his cup of milk to say "I'm actually French when I'm speaking in a good way. This food will make me not French anymore so I'm not going to eat it."
Pretty creative excuse for not eating his breakfast. He's had a very low appetite!
Episode 2
Patting my cheeks, "Your cheeks are like two mushy eggs. I can even see the yolks."
I guess that's better than Amelia telling me today I have a very big bottom.
And a very sweet Oliver quote:
I was telling him how yummy he is and I jokingly said "I love to eat you." He said "No, you don't love eating me - you love loving me."

You love loving me! So cute. I love that I can already see that you are developing children with very strong self-esteems. LOL
I adore that picture of O. So cute!!
Last week, when Liam spiked a high fever, we had some delirium. He asked me, through a haze of heat, "Mommy, why were you out in the backyard?" Um, it was 3 am and freezing outside. I was NOT out in the backyard. And, he kept incessantly asking for hot dogs. Poor little sick guys.
where does Oliver's recent obsession with French come from?
