Had a good run.....

while it lasted......being healthy that is.

First off at school there are a few students that are home with the flu/colds and some that are still in class coughing up a storm.

On Wednesday afternoon we went and picked up Rylee and her mom and headed out to do some shopping.  Our first stop was Sams Club.  We were actually in and out pretty quick so we decided to drive on down the road to McDonalds and let the kids get lunch.

After McDonalds we headed across the street to the local mall to hang out for awhile.  We actually separated and Rylee was going to go to the main play area and Jonathon and I were going to go to JC Penney to return some jeans.  After I finished in JC Penney, we headed down to Victoria Secret and who do I find......Rylee and her mom, they never made it to the play area!  Jonathon and I finished up in Victoria Secret and headed out for a walk to find the restroom. We finished in the restroom and headed back to find our friends.  Who by the way were still at Victoria Secret!  silly girls....

Finally we met back up and Rylee still wanted to go to the play area, but I said "No to Jonathon going".  I explained how I just was not ready for "germs"  that Jonathon has been doing great and I didn't want to take the chance of him catching something.  Nik understood and went alone with Rylee.

So we decided to do some P.T. while we were waiting.  I got Jonathon out of his stroller and let him walk next to me.  Trying to teach Jonathon to walk without looking at his feet.  For some reason when we are out of the house he feels the need to look at the ground while he is walking.  Drives me crazy!!!!  He actually did really really well once he discovered that there was pictures on the wall that he could look and walk at the same time.

So we headed back over to Rylee and they were just getting ready to go and we headed for home....oh we had to stop on the way out for a cookie first - thanks Nik!!  Jonathon loves his cookies....and then we headed home.

Both kids fell asleep on the way home.  Exhausted from their busy day.

After we dropped off Nik and Rylee, we had about a 7 min. ride to get home.  I was almost home when Jonathon coughed/gagged...as I am thinking.....oh no....you were fine.....don't tell me you are coming down with something.....especially after I said no play area.....

We got home, he seemed ok, besides that he was tired.  12a.m. Thursday morning he woke up barking......GREAT!  and a low fever!  So we skipped school and went to see the Dr.  He wasn't really coughing and he was fever was gone.  I was told to just push fluids and if its croup, he will be better in a few days.  Thursday was pretty good day.  He ate and played like he always does and didn't even really cough.

This morning.....not so good.....Woke up with a low fever, coughing more today, lying around watching his Cars movie.  Few minutes ago asked him if he would like to try some yogurt and he said yes.   Bad idea, after 3 bites it all came back up....guess his tummy doesn't want that.  But he did make it to the bathroom and to the toilet - so no accidents.  And now after he vomited he is still quiet, but he is off the couch and wandering around some.

So it doesn't matter how much you try to protect your child, sometimes they still get sick.  Because it's just in the air, or at school.  I will continue to do the best that I can though.  And yes that might mean - no public play area - because I know they are not cleaned like they should be. (sorry Rylee).

First playdate of 2011

After school today best friend Rylee came over to play.

I swear they had every single toy out of the toybox and everywhere in his room.  They played great together all afternoon.  They were really cute running all over with the toy 4 wheelers and trying on shoes together.

We had a couple of little mishaps, but nothing on purpose.  They both went to pick up a toy at the same time and Rylee got bonked.  And then Rylee went to hug Jonathon and Jonathon leaned back and they both fell, Rylee on top of Jonathon and Jonathon on top of a boat toy.  and then there were tears.......But everyone was fine and hugs and sorry's were given.

I am so glad that they are so close!  Was a great playday today.  Can't wait for the next one.
