Recently Sammy shared a secret with me. SShhhh, don't tell his sister. He really likes baby Addie, his daycare Nana's granddaughter, much better than Abby. But please don't tell her because he doesn't want to hurt her feelings.

Classic.
Tonight before Abby's bath, I was beyond bored so I flipped through TV channels. I was happy when I found Wilco on Austin City Limits. The kids were equally bored so they were thrilled to have music to dance to. Abby has a little lopsided gallop dance she does. She goes in circles and claps her hands. It is her standard "dance." Sammy, on the other hand, has lots of excess energy and very unique dance moves. So as he runs, hops and hollers around the living room rug, I comment:

Santa Visit
Growing up, we never did the Santa-in-the-mall pics. It just wasn't part of our repertoire. So, naturally (for me) we have not made Santa pics a regular part of our holiday. Today I decided to try. I even warned Sammy that if the line was too long, we would have to leave. (Is that bad?) There was ABSOLUTELY no way I would even attempt to brave a REAL mall three days before Christmas so we went to Country Club Mall. The main stores are Macys and Gottschalks and there is not a whole lot in between. It is a tiny, unexciting mall that happens to be very close to home. We got a great parking spot, walked right up to Santa, had a little chat, took our pics (Abby was even fairly agreeable), printed and bought the pics and were completely finished in about 7 minutes! I'm not exaggerating -- I was amazed! The pics are even pretty cute!

First Haircut
On Friday, Abby got her first haircut! It wasn't quite the occasion it usually is, but her hair looks cute! Here's the story:

Normal is sometimes good
So Sammy's blood work all came back normal which is very good news except now the illness is still a mystery. It is not cyclical neutropenia which I suspected it was. We will keep reporting symptoms to the doctor and see what develops. The next big step would be to see an infectious disease specialist. We'll wait for now...

Sammy is sick....again.
My poor boy gets sick soooo much. He is like clockwork. Every 4 - 6 weeks, his fever starts and stays with him for 3 days. It usually spikes to nearly 104. His current doctor is the first who suspects that it may actually be something other than "viruses." Really? Does it take a doctor to figure that out? I think it is neutropenia, but that is unconfirmed until I take him in for a blood draw while he is running the fever. Last time he got sick, he was so miserable, I just couldn't bring myself to take him to have them poke him with a needle...poor boy. Especially when the poke will NOT lead to him feeling better.

Sammy Stories, Volume 2 -- Backseat Driver
Sammy has always been a backseat driver. Since he was 2, he was telling me things like that I turned the wrong way.
