Firsts

Ryker has this glo-worm toy that sings and lights up. He falls asleep staring into it every night. The other day during his nap I found him with his arm stretched out, as if the glo-worm was his last hope of survival before sleep took him.

This week we had some firsts in our house:

-Ryker was sick for the first time. The doctor thought it was RSV. Turns out it was the flu, bronchiolitis, and a double ear infection. We've been isolated in our house ALL week. We had to have a suction machine delivered to our house too. If you'd like to visit, your first task will be to empty the suction canister.

-Brandon didn't flush the toilet for the first time EVER. The man never even leaves the lid up. I was so shocked I thought maybe someone in my family had come to visit or a villain had come and used our toilet and not flushed it. It's okay though, we've had no incidents of non-flushage since.

- I screamed in my sleep. I've never done that before. I dreamed a ghost in the form of a floating napkin flew into my mouth and the only way I could get it out was to scream it out. I heard the scream as I woke up, and it was the ugliest scream ever. Manly, really. I've never seen Brandon sit up that quickly out of a completely dead sleep. I was so embarrassed I couldn't get back to sleep because I was laughing so hard.

- I accidentally left the gas tank on empty for Brandon to find. Oh wait, I think I did that last week too...maybe before that also...ha ha ha.

- Brandon gave ME the silent treatment all the way from Ogden to Layton. This has never happened in our whole marriage. Why did he give me the silent treatment? I left the gas tank on empty. It's really my only flaw.

- Ryker ate sweet potatoes. And ice cream.

- Brandon woke me up in the middle of the night demanding to know where I hid his Chapstick.

- I gave Ryker his first haircut. It took me about two days.

Adios.
