Two tried and tested methods to get your mama to spend less time at work and more time with you:
Method 1: Get your family sick.
My strategy for finding a germ is to try to put everything within your reach into your mouth, if your mama tries to stop you, touching everything you can get your hands on and then sucking on your fists is also effective. If your mama is stubborn you may have to pass the germs to your daddy and get him sick too. Like me, you may have to resort to extreme measures like also passing the germs to your mama so she absolutely cannot go to work.
Extra time with Mama: 2 workdays
Caveat: Mama will be sick. If you don't jump around too much she'll probably still cuddle you all day long.
Method 2: Hold your breath.
If you hold your breath often like I do, you may have to step things up a bit to get the required effect. I had to refuse to take my medication and start breath holding more frequently for an entire week. Middle of the night breath-holds are the best and if you hold your breath to the point of passing out and slowing your heart rate you can really get their attention. If your mama is like mine she will mention this to the doctors and they will not like it one single bit. Then you will get to stay in the hospital again and your mama will stay with you!
Extra time with Mama: 2.5 workdays
Caveat: You will be in the hospital. On the plus side, while you're there you can restock your soothie stash.
And now its the weekend and mama's not going to work anyway.
What should I plan for next week?

oh man, that little stinker!
kar, i'm so sorry you all were sick and then had to spend more time in the hospital. anything new learned while you were there?
autumn is happy to have a new jumping video to watch. and i was so happy to see that you guys ventured out on a hike! do you think you'll do it more often?
Drew, you rascal! You need to start being nice to your mama, cuz she really loves you and you need her in your court. You know that she will spend all her free time with you anyhow, and quality is better than quantity. Besides, your papa wants a bit of time with you as well, so Bud.....ya need to spread the fun around. Trust you will behave better next week. And we hope that your whole family is better soon. Hugs and love from Auntie Jo
Drew, Drew, Drew.... you're learning early on
"How to get what you want" .... You little toot!
How 'bout next time you skip the germs & the breath holding & go for the cute, subtle, wet kisses & cuddles whilst clinging to your mommies shirt collar?! Never know, it may work....
Now that that week is done how are mommy, daddy & Drew doing? Are you all back home? Anything new to add to why Drew's breathing is getting more pronounced?
Remember you're all in our prayers ~ we love you.

Sorry to hear that you have all been under the weather!! Hope you are in for a better week ahead. Are you home now? Any new things learned at this admission? It was good seein all three of you at the wedding.
Little Drew......"do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God"........rejoice little Drew!! This is our prayer for you every day as God supplies all your needs.
Anxiety is way too hard on you because you must continue breathing!!
Enjoy your guy time with Daddy - many kids do not get that - you are so blessed! auntie Jane
Drewby! I think you have inherited your mom and dad's sense of humour. I know how happy you are when mom gets home from work! You love your dad so much too - don't take him for granted! Maybe we can hang out this weekend?
