What's up lately....

I just thought I'd put a little update about what I've been up to lately since I've been too busy to take some fun pictures and come up with a fun blog post. Isaac was sick the last week. Today he seems almost back to himself, except for being VERY clingy and emotional. Poor little guy had an ear infection and a horrible cold. His eyes were all matted and his nose was runny and he had an awful cough. Thankfully he is almost finished with his meds and he seems to be pretty much better. I'm glad he's almost done with the medicine because it gives him the awful poops (sorry for these details...it's all part of being a mom). It was so bad today that he had an explosion while I was at a friend's house and I had to give him a bath there. Too bad I didn't have my camera with because she had one old pair of shorts and shirt that were three times his size but somehow managed to stay on him....it was really funny. Just imagine him wearing shorts that were as long as pants and a shirt that could almost be a dress on him. We were 30 min from home and I had errands to run after this so we went to Target and bought him a new shirt and shorts. We also had a few interesting moments in Target. One moment was where I had given him a bag of fish crackers and after he ate a few he then decided to fling the bag up and down and the crackers went flying all over the aisle. I'm thinking...What does a mom do at this point? I'd need a broom to clean it all up and there is no way I can pick them all up by hand. So I carefully slid them (or most of them) to the side of the isle so hopefully they wouldn't be crunched by someone's feet and I went on my way. Was this bad of me? I figured that at some point a store clerk would see it and get a broom and take care of it. Isaac at that point was done shopping and really needed a nap. Oh the things we mom's go through.
After we got home Isaac took a nap and I went outside and finished planting my flowers. My dear friend, Heidi, helping me buy and plant most of my flowers yesterday. I then came inside to finish putting everything away and picking up the house, etc. Isaac slept 2 hours and woke up quite crabby. He has been very attached to me....so attached that I can barely walk away from him without him running after me and begging to be held. I'm thinking this has to do with him being sick or he might also be cutting his 2 year molars already. I just want my happy little boy back. I'm sure it's just a phase and he'll be back to his happy self soon. We can only hope.
Isaac is now sitting on my lap and quite content to just stay here. I think he and I will go sit and cuddle on the couch for awhile. I do love it when he likes to snuggle.
(I realize this isn't much of an update...but it's all for now). Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day!

I'm sorry it has been a rough week, Rachael. It sucks having sick kiddo's. I'm happy to hear that Isaac is doing better. Praying for continued recovery for Isaac :).

Hey, thanks for the update! I was wondering where you'd been. Sounds like you've been just being a good mom. I'll pray he keeps improving, but in the meantime, never pass up the chance to snuggle with him! :)

So THAT"S where you've been....being a loving, nurturing mommy! I'm sure it is just a phase, from his cold. Glad that it seems to be behind you guys.

And as for the Goldfish, I agree! What's a mom to do? I would have done the exact same thing!!
