Long Post....

Huge post must be done. There has been so much stuff happening during the past week.

The long weekend went great in some ways and terrible in others. It was great in the way that my Mom and Dad were up, but terrible in the way that we were scheduled to work on our front deck. The weather was horrible and rained the whole time so it was a little bit unsafe to play with power tools. We took everyone out for a drive in the Max, went shopping in the newly renovated Independent Grocer, and kick my Mom and Dad's butt's in Sequence! J did his thing with the cooking and I did my thing hanging out with Mom cleaning the house. The boy had a fantastic time with Nana and Popa and was sad to see them go.

This was the Boy’s first week back to daycare since the cast came off. He didn’t want to get out of bed at ALL! VERY GRUMPY BOY! After I got him in the door he recognized the place and ran off to go see his friends. The rest of the week was the same except for adding in screaming at the top of his lungs every time I came to pick him up ‘cause he didn’t want to leave.

The boy had his first trip to the dentist yesterday. I was so freaked out by this. I hate the dentist and dreaded having to take the Boy lest he sense my foreboding. Anyway, everything went great. He did the entire appointment lying on top of me in the chair and had his teeth counted by the hygienist and the dentist with no problems. No cavities so he got his picture on the wall of fame!

After all that when I went to pick him up, Sam said that he had been having a very bad water-bum all day. He told me his tummy hurt and that he didn’t want to eat anything. We got him and and got some peanut butter toast into him with some Gatorade and that seemed to settle him a little. We then had the most awesome evening! J washed the Max, I cut and whipper-snipped the grass, and the boy played outside in his sandbox. I also took great please in teaching him how to roll down the hill of our front lawn! He had a blast! After I got the front garden weeded we strapped the Boy into the stroller and went for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. There are some major big houses just a couple blocks over from us! Bathtime and Bed for the boy at this point.

After we got him into bed was when things took a very quick turn for the worse. Just before J and I were about to go to bed the Boy had a major croup attack. He could barely breathe he was “barking” so hard. We got him to emerg. just in time for the attach to subside and for us to look like panic happy parents. Joy. Got him home and in bed by 11pm and didn’t get to sleep until after 12am. Yay. Another exhausted day at work.

This weekend is going to be busy. Lori and Tom are driving up late tonight ‘cause Lori and I are participating in the National Capital Race weekend. We are doing the 5km and then going to the company catered event afterward. Should be exhausting and fun! Will post pics after I recover! :)

Ciao for Now!
