Healthy Happy Jack

We had a GREAT family weekend. Jack was feeling great and he got a fun new toy to play with!! We'll just say this thing has provided a lot of distraction and entertainment for our little guy.

Not to mention he is showing skills with the baseball bat.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Yup, you heard right. We attend parent/teacher conferences for our 19 month old.

While the best part of it is hearing about all the wonderful things my son says and does- everything from picking up his toys to yes, peeing on the potty, it is also a great opportunity to just touch base and make sure that nothing is being missed between home and school. He is in such great hands at his school- his teachers are excellent. I also love how they really take our comments and recommendations into consideration. In a recent parent satisfaction survey there were a lot of complaints about nutrition and food options. Needless to say, they very quickly fixed the problem and have really done a great job fixing the menu as well as using FRESH foods (rather than the typical, pre-packaged school food fare). It was a great meeting today. We are so incredibly proud of our Jack. He is beyond smart and we can't wait to see all the wonderful things he has to offer as he grows up.

To keep you updated on his health, yes, we are still struggling with ear infections. At a checkup with his pediatrician today, we have been referred back to our ENT to discuss a possible adenoidectomy. Not to say this will happen for sure, but it is a possibility. We need to figure out why this poor kid can't seem to shake these darn infections! Meanwhile he remains a super trooper. Jack is still as energetic a toddler as you can imagine. We've also definitely hit the "watch what you say" phase at our house- he repeats every word we say!

Here are some cute and funny videos for your viewing pleasure!

Sick in the House of Koenig

It has been a rough couple weeks in this house! All of us got hit with a bug that pretty much knocked us down for a week each. We're finally feeling better and ready to start enjoying the spring! We've been spending a lot of time out on the porch looking for geese and waving to the cars going by.

Currently trying to get all of our fun videos downloaded but here are some pictures!

Rough Week

Sorry for the lack of posting lately- we had a little bit of a rough week in the Koenig house. Last Saturday, Jack started running a pretty high fever. At least, I think 103.7 is pretty high. We knew he likely had issues with his ear, but when his eyes started getting gunk coming out of them, we knew there was something else going on too. He was being treated for an ear infection about 10 days prior to this and had made a follow up appointment with his ENT doc. The timing was good and this doc does not mess around. Turns out Jack had a sinus infection. Poor kid. He's probably had it for awhile and just never got better on its own. After a few days of cuddling and antibiotics he is doing so much better.We did find out at the doctor that our chunky monkey is 28 lbs. He's getting so big!

We attended his Spring Parade at daycare on Tuesday- cute as always. Jack and I walked the parade holding hands and then we played with the kids on the playground for a little bit afterwords. What a beautiful day and week it ended up to be! It seemed strange to bring all of his winter gear home (to be put directly into storage never to be worn again).

Not sure if we told everyone, but we're also excited to be finishing up our basement! It is coming along quickly and can't wait to get it all done so we can let Jack run wild down there. We always feel like we're pulling him away from things on the main level so it will be great to put together his official playroom and let him run free down there and just be a BOY! I'm sure he'll find ways to get in trouble down there, but for now we're going to assume that it will just be a great place for him to run around.

We're getting excited for the Easter weekend! We talked to the Easter Bunny on Jack's behalf and he is getting an awesome Easter basket. His first ever! We didn't do one last year, but are excited to start this fun tradition with him. Church might have to wait a couple years though for this rambunctious little boy.

We'll have pictures and video from the parade and all the progress on the basement coming real soon!

Happy Easter! God Bless!
