This is Luca's bunny Aurora. And this is how Luca carries her lately. In her own words, "Aurora just likes to crawl up in my shirt and ride here, it keeps her warm". When Luca got this little rabbit, she asked us to read what it said on the manufacturer tag, it says "Aurora Classic" and so, her name could be nothing but Aurora. It's a funny business, naming animals. Luca's animals include another rabbit, named Thumper, (from Bambi, of course) a horse called Fast Runner, a little dog named Femma and an elephant that is just called Elephant.
Forgive the unfocused picture but he wouldn't make this face twice in a row. Court loves Q-tips. He knows where they're kept and frequently wanders around the house looking like a little alien. At least his ears are clean!
Dollhouse decorating...not the decorating I envisioned but it's being played with nonetheless. We have yet to finish the roof, and add the shutters and window boxes so it's looking a little sparse out front. But she and I have grand plans, hers are mostly pink and purple plans.
Joe calls me when he leaves work everyday to give me an ETA for supper and also to see if I'd like him to make any emergency milk (or more often tylenol) stops on his way home. Increasingly however, my phone call is being hijacked by the small people in the house. They both love to talk on the phone (how are they MY children?)- Luca gives lengthy explanations and detailed stories that more often than not center around tattling on both Court and me. Court's phone calls consist of mostly "Dah" (yes/yeah) and "Caca" (He wants a cracker/cookie).
We have a couple of preschool workbooks from my Barnes & Noble days that I had brought home purely to steal the stickers in the back but Luca found them and has been enthralled. Now at least once a day she asks if I will help her "do some school".
Do you know of any funnier game than opening all of the kitchen drawers and leaving them that way? Court doesn't.
For our Art Day with Noah this week we did "Still Life". I love the sock picture because after completing the sock, she just had to add "a dog sniffing it".
A sick baby. On Saturday night (why is it always during the weekend and at midnight when they get really sick?) Court and I (and Daddy) were up from midnight to around five in the morning. Every hour or so we would be saying "if he's not better in ten minutes, we'll go to the ER" and eight minutes later his breathing would be better. Croup, croup, croup. So scary. Court is a lover when he's well and he is especially sweet and snuggly when he doesn't feel good. I had him sleeping against my chest for most the night while I sat up on the couch and periodically, he would lift his head and whisper a questioning "Mom?" laying his hand against my cheek, I'd say it's ok, I'm here and with an "oh" and a sigh, he'd nestle back against me. Heart melter.

Several things that strike me:
Owen and Court must be on the same wave-length because Owen was just walking around with cue-tips in his ears the other day.
I also HATE talking on the phone. I think that is why I blog. ;o)
Having once had to make a middle-of-the night ER run for croup, I will pass on what they told me--go stand in front of your open freezer door and have him breathe in that cold air (or go outside if it's not too chilly--it's supposed to help the airways relax. Those nights are no fun--hope Court is feeling lots better.
It looks like a lot of fun happens in your home. Love the sniffing dog!
