More Random in January
Our new favorite place is Chick-fil-a and Crawford loves it because of the playground. It's so funny how brave he is and will go up and down the slide all by himself and he LOVES every second of it. We can hardly drive by without him asking to go play.
For the last few years we have done Christmas with my mom's side of the family in January. This year we went to Garland and had it at my aunt's house and had a lot of fun. We did a gift exchange with the adults, and I ended up with a dart board, and Nathan got a bottle of wine.
When we were buying the gifts for the exchange, we found some crayons for Crawford in the bathtub and he loved them. They're already gone! A couple of weeks ago I had to stay late at school for science night (makes sense for a speech therapist right?) and this is what I came home to!
Crawford also had his first corn on the cob!! He likes corn, so the other night when we were eating dinner, he didn't want me to cut it off the cob for him, he wanted to be a big boy. At first he didn't get the concept, but a few bites in he got the hang of it! :)
Now to the not fun part...Crawford has been sick for a LONG time and we are praying that this is the beginning of the end of all this. Before Christmas he had strep, then croup over the break, and then two weeks ago he tested positive for the flu. When we went to the doctor he had a cough and a low fever, so when the doctor said he had the flu, I was SHOCKED to say the least, especially since he'd had the flu shot. That was on a Wednesday evening so Nathan and I stayed home with him on Thursday and his Granna came over on Friday. He loved all the attention from his Granna, and he didn't actually seem sick. Here is him and Granna watching videos from Christmas on her phone. He loves doing this.
To thank Granna for watching him, we went to dinner at Maudie's here at the Galleria and had a great dinner. We thought at first he might be able to sit in a regular chair but boy were we wrong. High chair for us!!!
He also wanted to wear his hat that night because his daddy does. It was sooo cute if I do have to say so myself. When we go outside, we also make him put his hood on, which he wants Nathan to do too. He's such a funny little boy!
His Granna also brought over a robe she had bought for him that he loves. Granna wanted a picture so I asked for him to stand there for it. This is what I got, not the most photogenic little boy, but I love him!
Now, we are fighting the FLU AGAIN. I don't know how this happened twice in TWO weeks. We can't seem to catch a break. Nathan's aunt Sharon come to visit last weekend and Nathan thought he had a spider bite, which turned into a staph infection in his arm. He spent three hours at the urgent care on Saturday, so on Monday we had to go back to see how to clean it out. I had been called that afternoon saying Crawford had a fever so we decided we should take him to the doctor at the same time. When the doctor said he was going to test him for the flu, I said "no don't worry about that, he just had it!". To say I was shocked his the biggest understatement of the year. Another round of Tamiflu it is!! We are thinking that he got it from going to the doctor last Friday. You might be asking, why was he at the doctor last Friday?! He fell at daycare last Friday and got a cut above his eye so the nurse at school thought I should take him in to get it looked at. Seriously?! One more thing?!
To say this week has been rough might just be an understatement, but I do have to say I am so thankful for an amazing husband who has helped so much with Crawford. We have taken turns staying home with Crawford and I appreciate it so much! I am also so thankful for Granna who helped with the last round of flu, and Granpa who came over today to help with this round. After Granpa left today we went back to the doctor because he seemed to be getting worse, than better, at least with his congestion. Nathan said this morning Crawford was pulling on his ear, and guess what he has an ear infection too!!!!!!!!! We are PRAYING that he gets better soon. I'm not sure how much more of all this we can take!!! I just hate seeing my baby sick.
So here is January/beginning of February in a nutshell (ok, maybe not).
