The Reynoldz

Well this week started off once again with sickness at the Reynolds.. Athea woke "early" Monday morning with the tummy flu.. (yuckoooo) Anyway she missed her big first day of afternoon Kindergarten which was suppose to be Monday afternoon. (she is not a genius or anything.. Kindergarten in NZ is similar to a North American preschool)

Well we nursed a foul cranky girl back to health and yesterday afternoon she was able to really start her first day of "Kindy". She will be going 3 afternoons from 12:45 to 3:00..

I am happy to report that she had a great time... ran around the whole school in a purple "dress up" dress (that she found instantly in the school's "dress up" box..) and did not stop running until I put her in her car seat. It was nice to see her FINALLY happy again and having a good time. (she has been a serious crank this past week)

Athea had such a good time that she crashed in her car seat.. and nothing could wake her... pretty funny.. here she is on our couch with the radio blasting, kitty pouncing and Haidyn begging her to come and play... (nice that is was an exhausted sleep vs. the sick baby sleep that we have been used to seeing)



that was Thursday... now onto Friday.. we have been hit once again with the blasted tummy BUG... This time it is Haidyn. Yep Haidyn, poor girl, she has been sick every other week over the past 6 weeks..
I am starting to blame it on her super wiggly top tooth that she has been working on for about 2 months now... her hands are constantly in that mouth of hers working on that tooth for the tooth fairy. =)

Here is a picture of my newly sick girl.... with her ever so faithful stuffy; "Bunny B"
"Bunny B" is a gift that Haidyn got from our friends Werner and Cyndi when Haidyn was a baby..

Since that time, "Bunny B" has been Haidyn's personal "house doctor stuffy" who has been working overtime with me these past weeks to try to make Haidyn feel better....


Now Eric is complaining of a stomach ache.. that is the way it goes I guess. (but he is blaming it on my cooking not a wiggly tooth.. NICE =)
