Day 13 -30 days of thanks

We picked up Julien from school today and he told me he got to pick something out of the treasure box at school. They get to pick something from there once they have filled up their sticker chart in class. They get stickers when their teacher sees them do nice things. He said he couldn't find anything that he wanted so he got something for me. He gave me a Hawaiian Lei. It was so cute how happy he was to give it to me. I secretly felt bad that he didn't get something for himself, but I was also impressed with his thoughtfulness. He put it on me and I said, "Julien, thank you, that is SO sweet!" He giggled and said, "I knew you were going to say sweet!" Oh, he is too cute! Love him! Thank you, Julien!!I also have a lot of gratitude (maybe more like excitement/relief) for something that happened at dinner tonight...Jonah ate dinner! I can not even begin to tell you how frustrated and worried I am about Jonah's eating habits. Looking at him, he looks fine and not thin. But if you knew all the things he does not eat, you'd be worried too. I've had his iron checked and it was fine, but I am still concerned. Jonah has had this redness around his eyes since last February. It looks like eczema (because he does have that), but nothing that the doctor has given me works. He constantly looks like he just got done crying or maybe his brother practiced his Rocky moves on him. He is always rubbing them. I feel so bad for him. Everywhere we go now people gasp and ask what happened to his eyes. I've been saying that it's eczema, but lately we've been concerned that it is more than that. We think it may have something to do with his diet. We don't know. Anyway, I'll be taking him to the doctor on Monday to get some more info. But back to tonight... he did not just eat one thing on his plate, he ate everything on his plate!!! Turkey, mashed potatoes/gravy, and green beans!!! I felt like throwing a party! I made a huge deal out of it and called Rich and my Dad, who also made him feel proud! I could tell he felt proud too. It was so good to see him eat something other than potatoes! I am really curious to know what is causing his eyes to react. Even if it isn't his diet that is causing this problem, tonight was a big deal, and I really hope he continues to eat more variety!Not trying to focus on the negative here, but this is a recent picture of Jonah's eyes, they look worse in person. I wish I had a picture of him eating his dinner tonight instead!
