What Did You Just Say?

Here are some interesting things that have come out of Nicholas' mouth lately. "You are not my friend, mommy." "Daddy is going to be mad at you for taking my truck away." "Daddy is going to put you in timeout." "Daddy is my friend, not yours." "I am going to put you in jail mommy." "You hurt my feelings, say you are sorry." "No I am NOT!" "Don't talk to me that way mommy."

The Best Swimmer Ever!

After only two lessons, Nicholas can swim "under the sea" as he calls it! He can go from the steps to me, from one side of the pool to the other (the short way) and from me to the steps! It is amazing! He counts to three and then he is under the water with his eyes open while kicking his little feet! I am so proud of him!

His Teeth Hurt

The sores have begun in his mouth so he keeps saying his teeth hurt. We are going to the Doctor this afternoon, there is a mouthwash he can use to make his mouth feel better and keep it from spreading any more than it has. Poor little guy.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Nicholas has come down with hand, foot, and mouth disease. One of his friends, I won't name names, it could have come from anyone, came down with it last week. It consists of a fever for a couple days, then rash, then blisters which turn into sores. We are on day two of the fever. Last night Nicholas threw up, luckily only once. This led to Jason washing his hands as if to scrub the skin away and then taking the hand sanitizer and rubbing gobs of it all over his hands, arms, and even elbows! It was quite a sight!

The Second Day of School

It's as if a different child woke up on Thursday morning all ready for school. The first words out of his mouth were "Can I put on my school shirt like Bash's?" Then he held still while I finished dressing him and even had his sneakers on before 8:00. When Kristyn pulled in the driveway so we could follow her and the boys could walk in together, Nicholas acted as if I was the one holding us up. I took a much better picture of him and one with Sebastien. I guess Bash rules and mom drools in Nicholas' book.

The First Day of School

As is typical of my life, the first day of school did not go as planned. To sum it up, Nicholas would not get dressed, put on his sneakers, or get in the car. We were an hour late and we had to bring in three trucks. There were lots of tears, yelling, kicking, and screaming. Hopefully the second day will go better and I can take the picture of my dreams and pretend it happened on the first day.

Open House

We went to Open House at Nicholas' school on Friday night. He didn't even care that his dad was there, he was too busy playing with the kids and checking out the classroom toys. He has been saying his teachers name all weekend and then checking with me to make sure he has it right. The first day is tomorrow!
