Sydney is NOT ready to move out
In our book of children's stories, we are currently reading The Three Little Pigs just about every night. Unfortunately one of the first times we read it, that story kind of blew up on me. The story begins something like ... There were once three little pigs who lived in a house with their mother. A...

Re: Big Bad Wolves
In subsequent readings of Little Red Riding Hood, Sydney has asked me several times why she was walking through the woods alone and why her mommy didn't come with her.

Re: Update on the Jaundice
Just to close the loop...
The liver tests came back normal so we are done with the daily bilirubin tests.
Rowin is doing well and looking less yellow. He'll go back to the doctor this week for a Hepatitis vaccine and checkup.

Re: Update on the Jaundice

Apparently he's treated 3 other infants for bilirubin, and all have responded very quickly. Rowan's levels however don't seem to want to fall. He's been gaining weight and growing thou...

Big Bad Wolves

Among the stories were Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs, both of which contain bad wolves. After reading Little Red Riding Hood the first time Thursday night, I made sure to explain that...

The fish are pretend
This morning we had to take Rowan back to the lab for yet another blood test to check his bilirubin level. Sydney really wanted to come for some reason so we all went. At the lab, there is a fish tank in the waiting room. Sydney has always been afraid of fish. For some reason, she thinks they will g...
