You had a fever all last weekend - it was horrible timing and mama was extra bummed out about it. I always hate when you are sick...but last weekend was the Relay for Life. Sheena had bought "memory bags" that you and the girls all decorated in memory of ma. They're set out during the walk and everyone walks or runs by and sees them...I really wanted to take you out there and walk around th track and see all the bags... But you had a fever of 102.4 so we stayed home :( Sheenas mom did take pictures though for us.
Soooo by Monday I thought you were doing better....Tuesday, not so much. You basically started screaming and wouldn't stop... You screamed all night, you wouldn't let me put you down, you cried anytime I had to walk away for even a second. I left work about 2 and came home and took you to the ExpressCare.... Talk about EMBARSSING!!!! You were screaming at the top of your little lungs the entire time we were there...I mean SCREAMING!!!! The nurse hurried us into a room and looked at you and said "How long has he been like this???" Ummm, thanks lady. I'm sure he just loves screaming like that too.... I was annoyed with her because she acted annoyed with your crying and screaming. Anyhow, the doctor rushed in (I assume because they wanted you out of there HaHa) and they said you had a double ear infection. Your ears were fine when your Daddy took you Friday.... But I guess it developed over the weekend. Soooo we started an antibiotic. If you get another one after this one, e will have to go back to the ENT. Please...no tubes!!! Soooooo....we thought you were better. Wrong. You started coughing really bad yesterday. It scared us because it kind of bad a wheeze with it... S your Daddy took you to the doctor this afternoon. The doctor said your ears were looking better, your lungs sounded clear, but she was also worried about the sound of your cough. She sent yo guys to the lab to have a Pertussis swab done...we will know the results of that in five days, she switched your antibiotics and started you on steroids in the process. You had thenPertussis shot already so I would be surprised if you actually had it but I am glad we are checking...that is not something you want to mess around with and especially since there were a lot of cases of it this winter. Better safe than sorry! So you have this terrible little cough that has made you throw up a few times...but you are still in pretty good spirits!
Amber has been watching you the past few weeks - Her father in law works with Daddy and he recommended her. She's been fabulous with you... She sends us tons of pictures throught the day and always has a very detailed note for us at the end of the day on what you had done, what you ate, diaper changes, etc etc! I love knowing that you are in good hands at your own home when we have to be at work! It's terrible leaving you though... You are going through a very clingy stage with Mama right now. You cry when daddy or anyone else tries to hold you when I'm there...so it's absolutely awful when I try to leave for work and have to leave you with her. I know that you have a lot of fun with her...you just don't want me to go :( so you cry and cry and cry. It's heartbreaking. Se always texts me just a few moments later though to let me know that you're doing better though.
You have learned so much lately! You sign "More" and "Thank you" all the time, Auntie taught those to you and you do fabulous with it! They all took you to the zoo one day when I was at work (Rebecca, David, Sheena, and the girls) and they Said you were loving the tigers, They tried to get you to leave but you signed "More" so you stayed! Sooo smart!!! It was raining a few weeks back and you insisted on going outside...so mama took you outside and we danced in it! Haha, at first you didn't know what the think... You looked at me like I was NUTS... But you started to really enjoy it! Lol. Same thing with the shower... You decided to crawl in there last night while I was showering. You didn't know what was going on at first! I took off your shirt and you were in your shorts and diaper and you started to play and play... It was pretty cute! So you had your first little shower!!! :)
You seem to understand every thing these days. I can not believe how big you've gotten! " Close the garage door!" "Put that in the basket" "Where's the doggy?" "Hand mama your truck" "go get Daddy" We love including you in things like that... It's really teaching you independence. You love being our little helper too. I was unloading the dishwasher yesterday and next thing I knew, you were taking the dishes out and handing them to me one at a time. You were so proud of yourself too! You didn't understand though that we were all finished and wanted to put them back in the dishwasher afterwards lol
We are really enjoying you (like always) and loving watching you learn new things every day. Everything is a learning experience with you and I love it so much.
Amber had asked if you wanted to do your ABC's and that picture above was your face, lol.
