happy and dreamy teaching us to chill
At the moment, Will is causing chaos and mess within a nano second as soon as I have my back turned - pulling out parts of the dryer, clothes from drawers, tissues from tissue boxes, pans and saucepans from cupboards and drawers. Even when we are face to face and we are having dinner he manages this quite well as you can see from the below pic, it looks like a war zone below his chair after dinner. ;-)
I have become quite zen with all this, knowing it is useless to tidy up right after him if I don't want to do it 20 times a day and even giving him a full basket of clean socks to sort through when I need a few minutes to make a call or brush my teeth.
I have a bit of a theory that Emma is teaching us the value of taking one's time or slowing down (she actually told Steph "Wir haben kein Stress" when he was badgering her to get ready for school the other morning - hilarious!) and Will is teaching us the value of letting go, letting the small stuff slide and enjoying the fun of the moment (as he is only interested in having fun). These are difficult lessons to learn for speedy, objective oriented, super-efficient/organized and stress prone parents. Hopefully they will continue to be good teachers and we will learn well.

Keeping us on our toes
William sure knows how to keep us on our toes and keep himself busy!
Climbing out of a box
emptying drawers (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom...) and book-shelves
pulling on curtains so hard that they fall to the ground
standing on his high-chair so as to check out more stuff
paying close attention to what is going on in the washing machine and dryer
Luckily he does not mind company in his adventures
or discovering new places (here in a café)
and the winner is - as it was with Emma - the remote control!

Emma clown and ill Will
Now that Emma is fit as a fiddle, William has a nasty cold and fever and it's freezing again so we can't spend too much time outside.
Yesterday Emma did not feel like playing a game but was thrilled with my proposal to paint her face. Here she is as a clown.
And here are Emma and Will as we walk home
Despite being ill, Will has been walking (with help) and can now stand up by holding on to a table or chair. I still need to catch a pic of him doing that though. With his kind of determination he'll be walking in no time.
I am beat so that's all for now.

No news, good news... I hope
First of all, a BIG thanks to all of you who checked in and wrote or called. I can already feel the good vibes helping ;-)
I still don't know anything more! The cardiologist took a long week-end so when we spoke on Friday he said he had not seen my latest results and that I should call him on Tuesday.
The good-news is that Emma is back! Healthy and chirpy as ever. Will, on the other hand now has fever (at 9am his temperature was 38,4° much lower than Emma's was), but it could be teething so we have to wait and see. This morning he was awake since 4h30am which means we are not that well rested. It's still grey and really cold and we are all so much looking forward to spring and sun and a holiday.
In the meantime, here are some happy pics of Will and me taken by the computer's Photo Booth.
