1. The Whoorl household is illin’ this week. All three of us are drowning in Trader Joe’s tissues, although Wito seems to prefer using his sleeve/toys/sofa arm/remote control/pillow as a snot receptacle.
2. The fact that we all fell ill during Wito’s week off from preschool makes me want to cry, considering I was truly looking forward to the playdates we had scheduled for the week. For instance, tomorrow’s playdate will be held at my friend’s pizza parlor. Good friends, fun kids and ALL YOU CAN EAT FREE PIZZA. Do you realize how wonderful that 2-3 hours would have been for this here pregnant lady? DO YOU?
3. Speaking of being pregnant, I am 21 weeks as of last weekend. Halfway there, my friends, and about 2 photos to show for it. (The second one sure gets the shaft, don’t they?) Here I am this morning in my (rapidly becoming too snug) Andrew Bird tee.
Interesting how I choose to take a photo of myself on the day that I feel like death. Revel in my natural beauty, folks! REVEL.
4. Many updates are currently going on at the house, and I promise to post some photos in the near future. It’s just that I’m more of a Before/After Photo kind of girl, opposed to a Check Out The Progress We Are Making Today gal. Although, there may or may not be a lovely man named Carlos painting our downstairs powder room navy as I type this.
5. Hell. While I’m randomly busting out my iPhone camera, here’s a shot of my favorite room in the house. Our upstairs loft, aptly named The Treehouse. I could sit here all day.
6. Finally, prepare for utter sweetness. We are big fans of The Sound of Music over here, and my nighttime duties usually consist of a four-song medley of sorts for Wito after D reads his bedtime story. (“Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” “Edelweiss,” “Doe Re Mi” and “My Favorite Things,” in case the suspense is absolutely killing you…)
Yesterday afternoon, Wito was feeling pretty crummy so he decided he wanted to sing “My Favorite Things” in hopes of feeling better. I think it may have helped a tiny bit. (Or maybe it was the ice cream.)

Oh hell that little boy is beyond adorable. You are raising one heck of a stud girl. CONGRATS!

Oh, my heart.
p.s. Your kid’s pro – didn’t even miss a beat when he coughed. Respect.
That video is by far the cutest thing I’ve seen in I don’t know how long. Plus, aside from being cute, your kid is a freakin’ genius. That’s a lot of lyrics for a preschooler, yeah?

I die.
He is adorable.
.-= Mandee´s last blog ..Miss Connie =-.
that was possibly one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. For. Reals.
You may feel awful, but you look great! I always look 9 months pregnant already @ 21 weeks.
Uh, I don’t know if I’m PMS-ing or what but I got TEARY watching that video. Because he’s obviously not feeling well but he’s just so darling when he sings. And then he sucks his thumb at the end? MELT.
Melt my heart with that couch sniffly singing and the thumb! Your new house looks awesome and the tree window is too cool. Way to go.
.-= Mama in the City´s last blog ..Fun Fabulous Giveaway From Purl Mama & Baby! =-.
oh mannnn; he is the CUTEST!!! holy moly!! :-) the sniffly snuffly little voice and the coughing…. waaaahh!! and the thumb goes right back in at the end. :-) thanks for the smile. hope y’all get to feeling better SOON!! by the way – i’m impressed he knows all the words!
That video!!! SO. CUTE. Beyond words. He totally deserves some ice cream after that! I hope you all feel better!
.-= Leslie King´s last blog ..wedding mag(nificence) =-.
Oh my lands. He is perfection!! And to think there will be a Whoorlita to double the cuteness. I am not sure how you will handle it.
Belly! Your treehouse looks delightful. Being sick does not. We’ve had assorted colds/ear infections/almost pneumonia here for almost 2 weeks now. It sucks. I hope everyone feels better soon.

(I’m sorry your casa is le sick(a), but!) The Treehouse! It’s AMAZING, and I just realized that’s why I love my living room so much in the spring/summer/fall. I have a huge maple tree sitting right outside both south-facing windows, and I’m happily sitting next to lush canopy during those seasons.
.-= Kerri Anne´s last blog ..Noteworthy =-.
yeah, i’m sitting here squealing at my girlfriend, “he’s sooo cuteee!” and forcing her to watch the video while she’s trying to work. no shame.

You looks great!
The treehouse room looks awesome!
And oh the cutie singing in between coughs, yawns and sniffles was to die for. Melt your heart goodness, right there, Sarah.
Feel better.
.-= Sarah, The Ohana Mama´s last blog ..Cool Find! Crazy Dog T-Shirts =-.
Wowza! I am so jealous of your tree room.
And oh my, your son somehow keeps getting cuter.
So ridiculously adorable!!

cutest video ever!
I got everyone sick, I am so sorry. I love the video.
Oh. I think you need to back that video file up a dozen times because that’s pretty much the most precious thing I’ve ever seen.
Feel better soon! Your belly looks adorable.
.-= Design Mom´s last blog ..Everything I Have =-.
MAN! That tot is cute! And you look great. I am officially coveting your “treehouse”.
.-= Tina´s last blog ..Bedtime routine =-.
I’ll admit something: I’ve been avoiding your blog for two reasons.
1. You are the cutest pregnant person in all of humanity, and it isn’t exactly helping my baby fever. Nor is the adorable Wito videos! Oh, my lands! The cuteness!
2. Your new place is the most adorable freaking condo I’ve ever seen in my young(ish) life and it is making me bitter and want to buy Lotto tickets on a weekly basis.
And it doesn’t help that you are such a peach because I can’t even hate you for it! I swear, I’m working on getting over myself. One of these days.
:)
(Um, that treehouse room is my fantasy. And now I’m going to go eat a cookie to feel better about myself. The end.)
.-= wishcake´s last blog ..on some current thoughts… =-.
The treehouse? Is amazing. I can’t wait to see the rest of it. And I’m dying for my kids to have the patience to sit through The Sound of Music. And you’re adorable. There, I’m done.
.-= Melissa´s last blog ..Oh look at that, another post about snow =-.
I’m a long-time reader finally coming out of lurkville to say that that video is the CUTEST thing I have EVER seen. Seriously. EVER. What a peanut!
Oh for crying out sakes… I simply can not stand the sweetness! I just want to scoop him up and snuggle him and feed him all the ice cream in the land! Amazing.
Also amazing? Your tiny little belly (Lita – that’s my “name” suggestion for Baby Girl Whoorlita. Wito and Lita – fun, no?) and The Treehouse.
Love.
I DIE!! that video reaches new levels of cuteness. congrats on having the cutest son in the world!
Aw, I miss that little dude in all of his (crazily intelligent) adorableness.
Also! You’ve popped even more in the last two weeks. Go…Whoorlita!
.-= Angella´s last blog ..On Forgiveness =-.
I just showed that video to my husband. Whoorlito is amazing!
p.s. sorry, that sounded creepy. I showed it to him because our daughter loves that song, but she ain’t got nothin’ on Wito.
p.p.s. sorry for calling wito whoorlito…. I am sure baby whoorlito will be amazing too!!!
He is quite possibly the cutest thing on the planet.
And you are SO teeny tiny for being halfway through. How is that possible?!?
.-= Michelle´s last blog ..Tough Days. =-.
Wito pausing to cough during his song? My god the cute. Poor snot filled boy. Still adorable.
.-= sizzle´s last blog ..The Things We Did =-.
Cute child, and cute t-shirt Sarah!
he’s absolutely priceless — with a tremendous knack for pretty complicated lyrics! Clearly a genetic genius! And love your tree room — do any of the windows open?
Yes, they open! It’s like being outdoors. Love it. :)
love the image of the whoorl family singing sound of music in the treehouse! great job on all the progress, looking fabulous!
okay i am DYING from cute overload. this kid kills me!
.-= krista – urbanite jewelry´s last blog ..moscow, russia – necklace =-.
Poor buddy with the coughing and yawning mid-song.
And, shout-out to your orange Rody in the Treehouse. We have a green Rody and the poor thing is dragged everywhere.
you and your belly look great. wito is cute when sick. poor kid, i hope he feels better soon.
.-= beyond´s last blog ..love =-.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything as adorable as that. Seriously. That was the most precious little singing I’ve ever watched.
That video is more adorable than a basket full if kittens. So what’s the new baby’s nickname going to be? WhoorlitA!?
Holy shit that was so cute – the cough, the yawn, the ice cream request. Love it!
Okay, I really don’t like kids. And kids that are sick and snotty – Ew! But damn girl your son is totally adorable. Absolutely melted me…Even made me want a child – for a moment.
That was just the most absurdly cute thing I’ve seen. It has muddled all previous memory of “adorable.” And to think there is another one coming who will know every word to the Sound of Music songbook. When you start taking requests, “A Spoonful of Sugar,” please.

So cute. And your new house looks amazing. Love that loft. So I too, LOVE the Sound of Music. My all time favorite movie. My husband surprised me with a drip to Salzburg and proposed to me in the gazebo from the movie. It was amazing and freaky and so romantic. I love to hear about other people who appreciate the movie. And I have to say Salzburg is one of the most charming little cities.
melted. i am.
your house looks like a pretty nice place to be (even if you are all feeling under the weather) congratulations!
I am melting — your son is too much!
Oh little Wito, poor sick little man, so so adorable!! I am extremely jealous of your treehouse room, it looks like heaven! I would definitely be in there all day, every day.
.-= Hip Hip Gin Gin ´s last blog ..Lovely Sunday =-.
That video was beyond precious, Sarah. He is simply darling. I especially enjoyed the intermittent coughing/sniffing/yawning while he sings!! I DIE.
