Last night I put the boys to bed and told Levi a story about how much I love him. I told him “I love him more than all the other Mommies in the world love their babies.” I told him, “All of the love that all of the Mommies in all of history have for their babies fits in Mommy’s nose!” And he said “Nose”.

Tonight I put him to bed and asked him if he knows how much Mommy loves him. And he said… “Nose”.

Nose,
alison

Seattle is suffering a serious attack of cuteness.

Dave and I took the boys out for a nice dinner at Casa De Italia tonight. We’ve tried this with them several times but this was the most successful outing there ever. They ate everything in sight… if all that was in sight was bread. They split an entire bread basket of crusty baguette dipped in olive oil. And then dipped in olive oil that was strongly flavored (yummy!) with garlic, herbs, and vinegar. They loved that too. And then, remarkably, they even at the entree that the restaurant gave them! Penne alfredo!

And then we went for a lovely after dinner stroll.

As most of you guys know, Levi is really sick. He has had a cold on and off pretty much since their birthday. Earlier in the week we had our two year checkup (details coming) where our doc said that the guys just have nasty colds. Since they Levi has gotten steadily worse. He has been miserable. Not moving, not eating, and mostly sleeping the day away. Yesterday we brought him to the doctor again and this time the doc found an ear infection (ouch!) AND pneumonia (OUCHOUCHOUCH!!).

He’s had two doses of his antibiotics so far and that is not really enough to expect a huge turnaround. And he has not had one. He has spent the last 72 hours, when not in his bed sleeping, doing this. He just conks out wherever he is. And this is a boy who never ever ever sleeps anywhere but his bed, in arms, the carseat, or a stroller.

Levi just sat there tooting and tooting away. He made eye contact with me and smiled. I asked “Did you toot?” He pointed at Milo and said “Brother! Brother!”

I laughed so hard…
