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.)

February 16, 2010 at 4:21 pmThat 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?

February 16, 2010 at 4:23 pmUh, 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.

February 16, 2010 at 4:49 pmOh 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.

February 16, 2010 at 4:57 pmBelly! 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.

February 16, 2010 at 5:05 pm(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.
