Sick baby is finally getting better

Stellan Shosei got sick with stomach flu last weekend.  We're hopeful that his appetite has returned to normal and some warm milk might give him some comfort before his long naps.  Five days after he got sick, Mommy got some sort of stomach virus.  After one full day of queasiness, the prescribed meds from the doctor seemed to kick in, and she is also going back to normality somehow.  After only eating a liquid diet for a day, it took loads of muscle to pick up an almost 11 kilo baby, but somehow, just being able to hug and cuddle Stellan Shosei, even in the most down times, seem to give Mommy some sort of physical and mental strength. 

A box of storybooks

Some organizing today led me to put a box together to store Shosei's collection of storybooks that were all starting to spill out onto the floor.  Shosei likes to open a book, flip the pages, and look at the pictures, and listen to Mommy or Daddy read a story to him.  During story time for Mommy's English classes, his face always lights up when he sees Mommy bring out a book.  It's hopeful that Shosei will grow up enjoying reading books and learn lots of words from them.  Reading a book or two has become a sort of ritual for him before his bath time every night.  Glad to see Shosei showing an  interest in books at such an early age.
