Brown Cow Rules!

Poor little booger bear! He had a couple of miserable days last week, including one 3 hour sit at the pediatrician's office. He came home from school Tuesday feeling puny and started running a fever that evening. Tylenol kept it down through the night, but it kept coming back. The doc did the strep swab and a blood count test (looking for white blood cell levels) but he seemed to be fighting a viral infection. So we sat home Thursday and by the evening he was almost back to normal. Thankfully it was just a 24-ish hour bug! He shared some germs with Wayne and me, now we're suffering through a cough that wakes us up at night. Argh!

But Miles felt great by Friday, so we made our Little Gym class and lunch out with the girls. That evening we hit The Pizza Kitchen, hoping to expand his palate a bit. He's never eaten pizza, but he knows cousins Kate and Evan love it, and one of his favorite songs talks about pizza. But alas, he would have none of it. He would much preferred to play with the Edwards kids sitting around the corner!

Saturday YaYa and B came to visit for the day. We had a yummy and fun lunch at Calypso Cafe and on the way home we passed a humongous cow in our neighbor's driveway. No fear of stray Jerseys, our neighbors won a party from Mayfield Dairy, complete with the big brown cow! So after naps (and some sweet cow dreams for Miles) we strolled down the street for the fun. Lots of neighbors were in attendance and Miles had a blast with the big kids. I love our neighborhood! We're starting to get lots of young families in the area and all the activities are really picking up. (Oops, as I type I realize we missed the potluck in the park tonight. Oh well.) It's hard to beat 3 playgrounds, a walking trail and a YMCA with pool all within an easy stroll! Not to mention multiple playdate and babysitter options. Now if only we had the nice flat back yard that some of the other houses have. Hmmmm......
