Mommy's little catnap!

This morning after Hayden and I took daddy to work at 6am we came home and Hayden fell asleep on the loveseat. So I took full advantage and took a catnap on the couch. We slept for a good hour. But I woke up to something falling. It wasn't Hayden. I still have no clue what it was. All I know is I open my eyes to see Hayden sitting on the arm of the loveseat, with my laptop open (there is no latch to open it, it just flips open) and facebook was pulled up!!! I hop up to make sure he hasn't destroyed it and what the heck do I see in his left hand, a bottle of neon orange nail polish!! Thank god it wasn't open. So I get him down off the arm of the loveseat and sit him down. He starts laughing and saying "that" and pointing to the computer. Geez this kid is too smart for his own good.

Last night Hayden decided to drop another stink bomb in the bathtub. Why is this kid making a habit of crapping in the tub? Seriously!!!! Its rather gross and annoying to have to stop, get him out, disinfect the tub, then repeat his bath. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm laughing about it now, but its not so funny when its extra work you have to do.

Today I'm taking Hayden to get his second haircut. Although his first haircut was a mere trim, this will be his first cut. I'm thinking a little boy haircut. But I'm so scared he's going to look all grown up. (cue the tears) We will see...

I'll post pictures of his haircut when we get home.

Mother's Day weekend

A long Mother's day weekend doesn't even begin to scratch the surface in explaining how the weekend went.

Friday morning

Hayden woke up with a fever of 102.3. Well crap! There goes our plans to go out of town this weekend. So I alternate Motrin and Tylenol the rest of the day. (yes we threw away the recalled crap) So Friday evening he's broken his fever and is starting to feel better and is playing and finally eats dinner. He didn't eat breakfast or lunch or even touch any of his snacks. So we goto bed and he sleeps just fine. Didn't wake up once which is typical for him now.

Saturday morning

Hayden wakes up with no fever! Success!! So we decide to pack an overnight bag for Jon and I and I pack Hayden's. We hit the road. We get to Cuero and head to my inlaw's house. Out of nowhere Hayden spikes a 103.6 fever. So we begin the Motrin / Tylenol regimine. All night long Hayden had a fever. Daddy and I got ZERO sleep. Although Hayden managed to get a few hours of sleep in somehow but managed to keep us wide awake.

Sunday morning

We get up and get washed up. Hayden has a mild fever. Just over 100. I give him some Tylenol to help keep it at bay. We have breakfast. Hayden got his appetite back and inhaled everything we put infront of him. Thank you Jesus!! So we pack up the truck and head to Halletsville to see my lovely aunt Carla and awesome uncle David and my three precious cousins, Casey, Lauren, & Chris. I still can't believe its been since Me-maw's funeral that I've seen them. Geez where does time go? It seems like just yesterday I was helping Carla with Casey as a baby and changing his diapers. Standing next to them makes me feel OLD!!!!!! Below is a picture of the four of us! Good times!!



We made it home safe and sound around 7pm. We made a few stops. One to get a quick dinner then when we got into Lockhart, we stopped at Wal-fart to get some dogfood. I'm glad to be home but miss my family already! I enjoy being with family. I just hate that everyone is far away.

I'm happy to report that as of 9pm when Hayden went to bed, he was still feverless. I'm praying it stays that way. If he wakes up in the morning with a fever, we're headed to the doctor. Fingers crossed and prayers appreciated!!

It's almost summa time!!

Lots going on here lately!

We're starting to gear up for summer. We installed a ceiling fan in our living room, got Hayden's swimming pool out, bought Sugar a swimming pool to lay in out in the backyard.



I need to get some outside toys for Hayden to play with while he's "swimming" in his giraffe pool. I'm soooo stoked to put it up outside. It's been inflated for over a month now in his room. He loves it! I can't wait to hook the water hose up to it so it sprinkles water out of the giraffe's nose. It's going to be awesome!!! Hayden is growing so much each and everyday. Proud mommy!!!

This morning when I got Hayden out of bed I noticed he was warmer than usual. I figured it was because he slept so hard. He's been sleeping thru the nights here lately and its been a nice change... a very welcomed one. Well after we both had our breakfast, I felt his forehead and he was burning up. So I took his temp. and it was a little over 104. (under the arm and rectally) So I gave him some Tylenol. (yes I bought new stuff since the recall) I also gave him a lukewarm bath. He always enjoys his bath, even if he isn't feeling well. The crazy thing is, he hasn't been feeling bad or cranky or even out of his normal usual silly Hayden self. So after he played for a while in the tub, I started draining the little bit of water that was in the tub and ran around the corner for a split second to grab his towel only to find him squatting and grunting.....



Thats what I walked in to see! Oh lord help me!!! I tried so hard not to throw up everywhere. Instead I gagged and scooped it up (no not bare handed) and flushed his treasure. AFter I got him dried off and dressed I scrubbed and disinfected the bathtub. So gross!!!!!! I hope thats the last time I ever have to experience that.

We are heading to Cuero tomorrow morning for the weekend to spend some time with Jon's wonderful family. I'm hoping we're still going. All providing if Hayden is feeling better later this evening. I hope its just him cutting his last tooth. *fingers crossed* Then Sunday before we head home, we're suppose to spend some time with my aunt Carla and Uncle David and my silly and wonderful cousins Casey, Lauren, & Chris. GET BETTER HAYDEN!!!!!!!!!! :)

In a short month my dear friend Katie will be joining us for a week and I'm so excited to see her again. We have lots planned. I just hope its not too terribly hot. So I'll be getting ready for her arrival later this month.

I've been trying to find stuff that Hayden and I can do here inside at home to keep us occupied during the summer months. Money is tight and I want to do fun things to help teach him different things. We'll see what I come up with. :)

I'm off to get the little munchkin down for a nap...
