The first picture he gave me the look. I started to take pictures of this cute mess but he begsn to play by closing his eyes. After,a little laughter and a smile I got the good picture with smile, eyes open and ice cream everywhere.
As most of you know Im a breastfeeding advocate. I have been working hard to wean Chase and got set back when he got sick last week. This article made me feel better. With all the medical education breast feeding is still being researched. Many studys are finding more and more good things about it. Like preventing breast cancer or preventing childhood diabetes. God made us to breast feed and we cant make anything match it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/05/28/formula-safe-soy-baby-breastfeeding_n_1546145.html
Day one of swimming lessons. I was a little worried for today. Why? Cause last year when I took him to swimming school it went horrible. He refused, screamed and cried. The instructor said try again next year. This year I offered $5.00 after each lesson he could save for vacation. We got there he said im ready. It started he sat at the step. I started to relax. Then I heard Mom.. He wanted out "Im not doing this" oh no. After some encouragement and deals he got back in. He finished his first lesson he now says he liked it and wants to go back 2mrw.
Yesterday while walking into walmart Blake asked if he could get his hair cut. Usually I cut his hair but last time I promised he could get it done next time. I told the lady keep it long. When she was done she asked Blake is that good? Blake said no shorter so its straight. :( so she cut some more. He is so cute and grown. A couple of days ago a mom told me her daughter wants to marry Blake. Super cute right? The problem is the daughter is 11.... T is super proud and Im irritated with this information considering he is 5. Haha it begins.
Hand-foot-and-mouth disease - MayoClinic.com
So here is the culprit. Hand-foot and mouth virus. Blake has now developed a fever and is having difficulty swallowing. The good news he was able to eat ice cream for dinner (dr ordered). Today before he started the fever he was up doing dishes...yes dishes. He likes it too
we hope he gets better real soon his team party is tuesday...
Yesterday I cleaned up his scratchs on his knee from running in the backyard. Soon after cleaning him up he was tryong to get the Cheese Its and hit his head in the door. This landed ice on his head again all yesterday. Today about 11 I notice my energetic little one want to nap early and felt a little warm. As a nurse I shurgged it off. Until about noon he felt warmer this time we took temp 102. We gave him tylenol for him to throw it up out of anger. After several hours of tricks tylenol started to work down to 101. So I left for work. After a short drive and phone call his temp was now at 104. Tim and I met at urgent care. He is fine suppoditory of tylenol did the trick. Although in much pain from lesions in his mouth (virus) his temp is down. Hoping tommorrow he sleeps....
I believe I have a mothers day jinx... Why you ask? Since I was a little girl my mothers day are not always been a good day. When I was growing up on mothers day I often was unable to spend time with my mom. I usually felt lost on those Sundays. Since Blake and Chase have been born while most moms want breaks from thier motherly duties I want nothing more then one on one time with them. I am often distracted with school work, work or housework. This mothers day I worked the night before which meant less time with my boys and time in bed. I also had some last minute assignments for school which also meant less time with my boys. The little time I had for mothers day with my boys had to be shared with other family members. This all lead to another mothers day jinx, a lost feeling. I share this because I often read blogs and they never seem real they never talk about bad days. Here is mine here to share that life is never perfect.
