New Year's Eve was spent playing at the park with cousin Morgan. It was such a beautiful day! Landon had great fun with his cousin. Later that evening we watched movies at Nonni and Papa's house. We were excited to actually stay up to ring in the New Year together but Lando woke up right before so Shani spent midnight trying to get him back down to sleep. How life has changed. Not that we were big New Year's Eve celebrators in the past, but we usually did more than this. However, the relaxing evening of pizza and movies without going anywhere was exactly what we wanted...and needed. New Year's day is always spent in a food frenzy at Shani's parents. Although John was disappointed that the Bowl games weren't on, we enjoyed pigging out and watching more movies.
Having Monday off was great too. It actually felt like a restful weekend, definitely a first for us in a really long time. That rest was short-lived. By Friday we both laughed at the fact that just Monday we had talked about it being restful. Between Monday and Friday John got the okay to sign up for his California license test which meant getting back into hard core studying, Landon got sick (fever Wed/Thur night, must sleep upright to breathe, restless sleep, fussy, needy, etc) and is still trying to fight it, and exhaustion for the both of us as we are up every 1-2 hours because of poor Landon. We are definitely going to be more strict in the future about keeping Landon away from those that are sick. We do know he will get his colds, but to get a bad one about 1 week after fully recovering from another one is killer on all of us. The good part is, we know it's strengthening his immune system and there is always great growth that comes out of fighting a cold. Hopefully that growth is better sleep!
