WOW...what a busy day!

Today was a very busy day for us. I've been scheduled for months to take a friend of mine to have some oral surgery done today and just last week, I realized that JL was out of school again today, so I'd have to tote him and A along for the ride. Bringing A along would have been no big deal, but I really wasn't looking forward to bringing JL too -- he's getting so much older that there's really no way to put a spin on it to make things like this "fun". Of course, as luck would have it, A woke up with a 101.1 fever and nasty poop...YUCK! So, before heading out to Houston, we stopped in to see our doctor and A was diagnosed with a stomach virus. He felt terrible most of the day, but was such a trooper, and JL -- well, you just cannot imagine how perfect he was. It was amazing. He really seemed so grown up today -- at one point, my friend wasn't following the doctor's orders and JL told him "you're not listening very well" and then later "didn't you just hear what my Mommy told you to do?". It was the cutest thing I've ever seen! JL certainly got rewarded for his good behavior -- not only did he get a new game for his DS (ATV/Monster Trucks), he got to go to the Galleria to see the ice skaters and this weekend, we're going to take him back to ice skate for the first time :-) That should be a lot of fun...hopefully I'll get plenty of pictures and will share them!
