Betty Brinn Children's museum!

A day with my friends at the Betty Brinn! We had fun today with Helen, Whitney and Nico! Sam played so hard he fell asleep on the way home and missed lunch. We played on the slides, in the little kitchen, in the sand area and even played in the padded area! It was fun and we can't wait to go back sometime real soon!

Look at my new sandals!

We are getting ready to go to Florida!

Daycare and smiles!

Well, I have to say, that our daycare experiences are getting a little more positive. Today was pajama day at "school" for a Valentines party. They wanted to celebrate valentines day on the actual day, but only a few kids were scheduled, and they wanted to include everyone in the fun. So today was the party. When I picked him up, Miss Jessie and Miss Stacy said he had a WONDERFUL DAY and they were so proud of him. Miss Kim also told me that Sam was dancing and clapping in the muscle area of the school even though there was no music going! When they asked him how old he was he told them with one finger "1". They said he cried when they had to go and eat lunch because he was having so much fun.

They also played ring around the rosie today and Sam accidently slapped Mallory smack dab in the face and whoops, accidently made her cry. Oh well, that's what happens.

Anyways, just wanted to document our positive experiences today instead of always being so negative.

We've moved!

Well, we've officially moved out of our house. We're now living with Stan and Judi (Brad's parents). We've took over the entire upstairs! We weren't sure what type of reaction Sam would create, but he's adjusted so well we hardly know he's here. He's been a trooper through it all. He's given us so far 2 GREAT nights of sleeping, let's hope it continues.

It's moving time

Boxes Boxes Boxes EVERYWHERE! We have officially sold our home, and we are closing March 1st. Before the closing date had been decided, we had planned a trip to Florida during that time. So...because we haven't found a house we really like yet, we are moving in the Brad's parents for the interim time.

On the road to recovery...

The flu is coming to an end...THANK GOODNESS! After a long long day on Friday, we discovered that we didn't need to go and have a chest x-ray. We paged the doctor early Friday morning and she old us to meet her at her office before we head down to Children’s...Sure enough, Sams flu was trying to escape through his ears and that is what was causing his incredible irritability on Thursday night, Friday. She said that the ear infection set in over a really really short period of time, seeing as though she just checked them the day before. We got some antibiotics and we were off. Sam has been a trooper in taking all of him medicines recently. We still have to strap him down for him to swallow, but he doesn't gag it up anymore. We've also fell in love all over again with Benedryl. It just knocks him out and makes him sleep. He slept last night from 7:45 until 5:00 this morning! A FIRST in a long time for little Sambo. A well rested happy baby makes for some well rested relieved mommy and daddy. Let’s hope that we are now on the road to recovery.

coughs + fever + runny nose =

Influenza A...That's what Sam has caught this time. Even after we got the flu shot, he still managed to be a lucky one to receive this nasty bug.



Off to the doctor we went today. All the symptoms he had = influenza A. Dr Paley told us that if he keeps getting worse, she will order us a chest x-ray tomorrow at Children's Hospital. Let's PRAY that he sleeps better tonight, and gets his energy back. We don't want to have to go through all the testing. But we also don't want him to have any other infection. We need Sam to sleep today and tonight to get this bug GONE. Poor little guy can't even keep his eyes open during the day, but the minute he lays down, he starts coughing and screaming. Dr Paley told me that she was hoping to find an ear infection, and not influenza, but she says he will get better in about a week.



Sick Sam = one sleepy sad sad boy = No DAYCARE TOMORROW:)

Lettuce Lettuce everywhere!

He should have gotten a time out~ but it was kind of funny...

Spaghetti is SOOOO GOOD!
