Strep and Scooting

Today was the first day of 4th grade. What I planned to post about was an excited girl, smiling ear to ear in her favorite new school dress. Instead, she spent the morning at the pediatrician, getting swabbed and tested for strep throat. Positive. Poor girl. It's nothing a little antibiotic won't kill and she'll be back to school by Wednesday. That will be her first day of school, and I'll get her first day of school pictures then.
Meanwhile... Mister Owen couldn't be happier to have sister home for a few more days! He has been butt scooting all over the place and has been picking up speed. The tubes still get tangled, he still runs out of energy, but he is on the move and I couldn't be more excited for him.

He's always on the search for Sissy. He goes up and down the hallway peeking into every room until he finds her. First he checks the den...

Then he checks her room...

She doesn't actually have to be in her room. By the time he gets to her room, he usually forgets that he is even looking for her. He has found a wonderland of things he can't have. All the tiny toys, electronic gadgets, big girl books and art supplies a little guy could ever imagine.

This is when I put the camera down to make sure her things aren't destroyed within seconds.
