Sick

My boy was sick last night. I went to work at 4pm and he started vomiting at 6pm and didn't stop until 1am. I got home at 11pm and rocked with him. He threw up on me, but I didn't mind because I had work clothes on. They needed to be washed. However, it was definitely a movie moment when he took out his paci and threw up all over Ben. We laughed about it today.

God's blessings with a healthy child:

Month 1: random fever resulting in a LONG visit to the hospital for testing. Result: unsure illness that lasted 12 hours.

Month 9: Cold and ear infection.

Month 10, almost 11: Vomiting from another world. Ben changed the sheets 5 times, changed his clothes 5 times. 4 loads of laundry for one child. Glad that is out of his system. (This awful virus/bacteria illness came from the 2 year old neighbor that came to play)

We just wanted to work on that immune system. I would have rather been sick than hold my son over a sink to puke. That was a sad day.

Ben prayed that he would rather be sick than Jackson. Well, prayers were answered. My hubby is sick with a fever and flu like symptoms. As for me?!? I am fine and disinfecting everything in my home.

Pull the string

Jackson is quiet when he wakes up. I never really know he is awake until he verbally tells me he is ready. The last couple of days, I have been informed he was ready to get up with the sound with music. Who needs an alarm?!!? The elephant that has hung in his crib since birth has finally been discovered. If he pulls the string it plays a lullaby. It cracks me up because he continues pulling it to hear the song one more time. Never a dull moment!

Protest

It has finally happened. He protests when you take something away from him. I do not think I am ready for the long road ahead of me.

move the bookshelf

Well, it is time to move the bookshelf away from his bed.

We originally used the bookshelf to prop the monitor on top. He found the monitor on the shelf and decided to play with it.

We attached the monitor to the wall. He found the cord. Yep, pulled that thing down.

We moved the cord.

Today, I just caught him reading in bed. He found his books and pulled them through the rails in the bed and was enjoying some reading time, instead of nap time.

He is a smart little thing. This will be interesting when he moves to a toddler bed.

I just don't know what to do with myself.......

Jackson has been asleep since 9:45. I rarely get an hour to get everything done. He popped up at 11:00 and then fell back asleep. Um....he is still asleep. Yes! (noon)
I have been able to work on my Thirty-one business, rest, and read.
He remembered how bad he was yesterday and decided to give mommy a break.

Thank you, Jackson.

He bit me

10 months and one week, with six teeth, in the living room....Clue anyone?!?

Yep. It scared me. I cried. No blood. He was finished, but decided to bite and pull like it was a chew toy. Oh my.

Sorry for the graphic detail.

However, I will continue until March, unless next time he is mean about it. Then, I am done.

Motherhood bites....sometimes.
