Chocaholic

First, a health update: Finally, we are all better here...except for Jeff, who has a cold now!

The kids have been wild this week. Wyatt is just keeping me WAY too busy. He is into everything, and of course, nothing he should be into. Some people have already heard this story, but for those who have not, I will tell it again!

Last Friday, Noah and I were playing a rip-roaring game of Chutes and Ladders, while Wyatt was circling the house with his toys. He would always return after each "circle." Well, one time he did not, and it was completely silent when I would call his name. After much protest from Noah, I went to find Wyatt, getting more nervous when I didn't hear any noises from him at all. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him sitting under his highchair doing something. I get out to him, and in each hand he has a chocolate and dripping from his chin is chocolate, and laying all over the floor is my box of chocolates from Valentine's Day! Each chocolate had a bite out of it! He looked like he was in heaven, but with WELTS all over his cheeks! So, I rushed him into the kitchen and cleaned all the chocolate off of him, and changed his clothes checking to see if he had welts anywhere else (which he did not), and then watched him like a hawk! I was sure he was going to start having trouble breathing and we would have to go to the ER. Luckily, the hives went away on their own, and all was well! Thank goodness he doesn't have his brother's allergies, although with the welts, I wasn't sure!!

Unfortunately, I was so concerned about him going into anaphylactic shock, that I didn't get any pictures!! Oh well. I'm sure before long, he will be in another mess!

As far as chocolate is concerned, he is definitely my son!! :)
