Things have been pretty calm around here. Nothing major this winter in regards to illness. We were supposed to take a family trip to Niagara Falls on Valentines weekend, but Benjamin did come down with a pretty good cold which kept us home. He had a low grade fever and was super wheezy so I didn't want to risk being 2 hours from home and needing his asthma doctor or the ER. Thankfully with his rescue inhaler and a dose of steroids at home we managed to muster through it without a visit to the hospital or doctor. Anyways our trip has been rescheduled and I'm sure it will be great.
We officially registered Benjamin for school in February. That makes me sad and excited all at the same time. We decided to enroll him in the local English school for junior kindergarten and then move him to the girls French school for senior kindergarten to grade 8. He seems pretty apprehensive at the idea of school, but I'm sure once he's there he will love it. We have our first introduction to his school/class/teacher on Wednesday already so he'll get to see beforehand where he'll be going. I'm sure that will cut back some of the anxiety over it all.
We added a new member to our family a few weeks ago. The girls have been begging for a pet (another one) for a while so we finally caved and they bought a bunny. His name is Oliver and he has been a great addition to our family. Benjamin loves doting over him and really shows lots of love to him. It's very sweet.
That's about it around here. Spring is around the corner and finally getting out of the house and outdoors is what we all desperately need..its so close....
