Fun at McDonalds

After the bike ride to see the runners, we went to McDonalds for our normal Saturday breakfast (Nathan has to have his sausage gravy biscuit, right, Papa?!).  Nathan particularly likes this one because they actually have a little toddler area that he can play in.  He enjoyed the slide again and again.  (Sorry for the poor quality.)

His face is almost cleared up from the hand-foot-mouth disease and he's pretty much back to normal.  He's eating and sleeping about normal too.  He was a little confused with wearing pants the last several days (highs were in the 70s and chilly mornings) and kept trying to push them up to his knees.  Evidently he doesn't remember last winter.

We are looking forward to sharing snacks at small group tonight.  He loves seeing the doggies.  He knows what a dog says too -- "arf arf!"

Supporting the Runners

We went to see my co-worker, Stephanie, in the Sherry's Run race this morning.  We rode our bikes down to West Main and watched the start and saw a bunch of people finish.  We didn't want to stay till she finished because we hadn't had breakfast yet and were hungry so we went down the street a ways till a street that was easier for us to return home on and waited for her.  It was fun to see all the people!  This was Stephanie's first 5K and without any training she did it in just under an hour.  Yay!

Happy Birthday, Dana!

Can you see what I did? 

 

D - Dasani, Dentyne

A - almonds

N - Nilla wafers, napkins

A - apple, Advil

 

Each day, I put up the next letter on her banner and added the day's items.  Then, today, we had her desk decorated and gave her a gift from the 3 co-workers.  Pretty fun!

Card from Nana & Papa

 I got some mail!!!!

Woo hoo!  A card that plays music! :)

Poor thing is still suffering along with the cold and the sores, but it was all okay when he got his card in the mail.  Our other music cards have bit the dust and it might just be me, but it's just a tad strange that a 1 yr old has to stop and look at cards because he has to find the ones that play music!  So, we're happy for a new one.  [It's the little things, right?!]

Knocking

 Nathan's new thing is knocking.  He knocks on the door each night when we come into the house.  He knocks on the table while we're eating dinner.  He knocks on the bathtub during his bath.  Here he is knocking on the Jeep.  Silly boy!

I couldn't resist sharing this pic of my niece wearing the gift I made -- a onesy with her name on it.  I had seen the idea on a blog and decided to do it myself.  Pretty fun!

Two for Tuesday

At daycare, they have a couple of these bouncing toys and Nathan loves them.  As I was looking at the facebook group I belong to where people sell kids items, someone had one posted for $10.  When I looked up the price of a new one, approx. $140, we knew this was a steal!  Plus, it's something that he can do for a while -- it's for ages 1-3.

I'm so excited, can't you tell?!

He isn't bouncing as much as he had previously done, but he wasn't feeling the best either.  I had been telling a co-worker about it and wanted to get a shot of him doing it.  We'll see how it goes!

Uh Oh!

Do you know what this is?

Hand-Foot-Mouth disease. :(

Poor thing.  He really hasn't been bothered by it (thank goodness).  The doctor said that it appeared to be a mild case, but there isn't anything that they can do for it.  When we talked to daycare, there is another little girl (his girlfriend!) who has it on her feet.  Nathan stayed home with Barry today and should be good to head back to daycare tomorrow.  Since the contagious period is when he had a fever, there is no concern for spreading it now.

The sad thing is that he can get it again!

[Don't you just love his "cheese" face?!  He's been doing it a lot -- especially when eating.  He thinks it's funny.]
