In the dead of night....

August 29--

4:00 p.m-- Edward's demeanor changes from happy to sad and tired....uh ohh....
7:00 p.m--Temperature of 100 degrees
1:00 a.m--Mommy goes to get a crying Edward from his bed
3:00 a.m--Temperature of 104.3--Mommy freaks out, wakes daddy and go to emergency room
   at Plano Medical Center. Turns out he had a slight upper respiratory infection. I learned it's ok to alternate tylenol and motrin every 3 hours.

So, this was our very first Emerine Emergency visit, praying it does not happen again!

On a lighter note....Edward had his first day of mother's day out on September 5th at Christ United Methodist Church. He seemed to LOVE it! I am so excited to see what he learns by interacting with children his own age and loving teachers too!

We were in good ole Amarillo over Labor Day weekend and had a fantastic time getting to spend time with Nana, Grandad, Aunt Aften and Uncle Greg! It was while we were there, that I saw Edward stay focused on ONE task for longer than a few minutes...DIGGING! He was completely satsified by just sitting in the dirt with a pail, and shovel and playing for at least 20 minutes!

So Edward is a huge fan of "Signing Time" with Rachel, so we have been practicing some of the signs in our house. Here are just a few that he will do:

• More
• Eat
• Milk
• Please
• Thank you
• Bird
• Airplane
• Dog
• Car
• Swing
• Banana

It is truly amazing to see how quickly he learning these days!!

He can also identify by pointing his eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, and nose! Smart boy! He is going to be the best Big Brother!!
