Ice Cold!

Today was sunny and very, very cold. About 20 degrees F, all day long. Yikes! Every time I went outside, I felt like my face was going to freeze off after just a few minutes! Luckily, I wasn't out for long.

Alex seems to be feeling a lot better than he was at the beginning of the week. He started an antibiotic for his ear infection on Monday. It seems to be working... I just hope it will take care of the whole problem. Last time he had an ear infection (October), it took him almost the whole month (and three different antibiotics) to get better. Every time he finished his medicine, we thought he was well, and then three days later he was sick again. Poor little kid!

So, the big news here is that Alex has started saying "milk" in sign language. I have been signing to him for about five months, and a week ago we started noticing him doing the sign for milk. So far, he doesn't seem to do it when he wants milk (sometimes it's right after dinner) but he is definitely making the sign. I have shown him a lot of other signs over the months as well. I wonder which one he'll use next! Maybe "cat."

It's Friday at last, and I'm ready for the weekend! Since it's already December 8, I think I should try to set up the Christmas tree this weekend. I am a little apprehensive about what Alex will do -- he is very mobile and VERY curious these days. I guess we'll just put it up and see what happens! We do have a lot of unbreakable ornaments, so maybe we'll focus on those this year.

Edit: Once again, Blogger isn't letting me publish on the day of the post. I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't Holidailies time! Well, who knows if it's Blogger or my webhost -- I don't. I'll try again tomorrow.
