No more fever?

Both kids slept in their own bed ALL night last night!!  Wahoo!!  Last week we were out of our routine with company over for 2 nights and then Ally being sick for 4 days.  Don't get me wrong we enjoyed the company, it just had Ally in our bed for those two nights and then she ended up getting sick, so it has been a struggle getting her back on track.

And this morning she woke up without a fever!  Double Wahoo!!  Praise God!  And she has been back to her "normal" self today as well.  The whining has almost diminished, which is wonderful news . . . if I'm being honest yesterday was rough!  She does have some congestion, but I'm glad the fever is gone and hopefully gone for good.

Today during our bible study we spoke about Day 5 of Creation where God created the birds and fish.  We recently bought a laminated birds guide with tons of birds on it and I had Jase look at it and he identified certain ones and I explained how wise God is to create all of these different types of birds with different colored feathers and features.  Pretty amazing if you stop and think about it.  Then for the sea life I found this cool Virtual World: Deep Sea from National Geographic that allows you to experience the deep sea through a Crittercam deployed on a sperm whale.  You click on a sea creatures that come in your path and when you do, a facts page comes up about the creature you found.  Jase loves the Wild Kratts show on PBS and is really into learning all about animals and their prey and who their predator is, and National Geographic provides this information when the facts page comes up.  There is not a ton of mouse movement, so it was perfect for Jase and he ended up going through it 3 times.  Ally was even intrigued and she watched him quite a bit and would say the creatures "giant squid, sperm whale."  They have other Virtual Worlds and I cannot wait to incorporate them with future lessons.

One more thing.  We were reviewing letters that we went over last week and I had him make the letters out of play dough.  After he finished making the letters it was free time to do whatever he wanted with the play dough.  He ended up making a little girl and boy for his Aunt Alisha and Uncle JoJo and wanted me to text it to both of them, so I did.  Then when Aunt Alisha texted back and said she loved it, he asked about Uncle JoJo.  I told him that he still might be asleep.  He said "oh yeah, Uncle JoJo is octurnal."  I said "nocturnal?" Jase said "Yes, he works really late and then sleeps during the day!"  Too cute!
