Stuff, stuff and more stuff

I am so proud of my son. He is learning to read. I know this may not be that big of a deal for some but for him it's huge! Every day we read with him but now, with very simple books, he is reading back to us. It is awesome!

My kids' favorite movie lately is Despicable Me. My son tells me all the time, "Mom, I need to go to the moon", or, "Mom, we need to make a rocket", and sometimes even, "Mom, YOU need to make a rocket". If I had the ability, I'd make one in a heartbeat!

I found it really interesting that in the last two major children's movies (that I know about), Despicable Me and Megamind, the villains become the good guys. Interesting.

My son also lately has wanted my husband and I to "hug him up". That means he wants us to lift him up as we hug him. But I like 'hug me up' better. It sounds cuter that way.

I had to go to the doctor's office today because I've got a cough that just doesn't want to go away and is causing some serious pain in my lungs. I've been prescribed an inhaler and some stronger cough medicine. If those don't work or my symptoms get worse over the next few days, then I'll have to try an antibiotic. In other words - 'we don't know why you still have a deep cough because you're otherwise healthy'. So frustrating. I've never had to use an inhaler before. The doctor told me it would give me the jitters a little. A LITTLE???!! Yeah! Not my favorite thing. But it is helping open my airway so that it's not so hard to breathe. That's nice.
