This could be the lamest spring break post ever. How about, I didn't even know spring break was coming until less than a week before? I thought it was in April...like 2 or 3 weeks in..but no. Honestly, I was most excited about not getting up at 6 something to take a shower before Sage goes to school. Our weather was not even close to spring. It was just downright COLD, which was sad, because Sage had wanted so badly to go camping. But the weather just did not cooperate, so it didn't happen. We did manage to have some fun. Not being in school was fun, although one day, she said school would have been fun. Ouch! But that's just because she was so set on camping. She managed to collaborate with a friend from school on the phone, who showed up on my front porch after being driven over by her mom without me knowing she was coming, and got to play here. They had so much fun. I also took her to see Oz The Great and Powerful, which was a cool movie, but it was pretty intense for children, I think. I am SO glad I didn't take Jaggar, but the previews alone were enough to know that wouldn't happen. If you're a fan of the original, I think it's a great movie because they tie it in so well.
We also got a Panera Bread 5 minutes from my house, and we met Nichole and her girls there on opening day last Tuesday. It was FREEZING outside, and they had a nice fire going inside. It's Tuesday again, and I've already eaten there yesterday and today.
After we got home from lunch with Nichole, Jaggar suddenly spiked a high fever of over 102. I gave him some Tylenol, which is horrific to give him medicine. He seemed to feel better, but when I checked him about 11:30pm, he was hot with fever again. My fear was strep, so I got him up again to give him more tylenol, which was a lost cause. He spit it everywhere and knocked the drink I had for him out of my hand on the floor. I'd already made a doctor's appointment for him the moment he spiked a fever because I worried about strep. He woke up fever free the next morning, but I still took him. Flu and strep were negative, but he did have an ear infection which she didn't think was caused by fever. Neither did I. So she said, "I'll call in some medicine for his ear." He heard that and freaked, "NOOOOO! I don't want medicine." I carefully explained to him that it was that or a shot....and that kid said, "I want a shot!" I told him again. Surely he didn't understand what I was saying. Again, he demanded a shot. The doctor could not BELIEVE it. After 4 times of explaining it and 4 times of him repeating the shot, the doctor said, "Well, surely he knows what you're saying, but I have never seen this before." So, that's what he got. Of course it hurt. Later, I asked him, "Did you want medicine or a shot? You know you chose that right?" He said, "Yes, but I choose nothing next time." lol. brave boy. He actually fell asleep on the couch at the end of that day.
Costner Bleu always has his hands in his mouth these days.
And clearly, he's eating well.. I have some pictures and video of when we did get to do something fun on Friday, but that's another day that I have more time.
