AWANA awards night

I was so proud of my little man. At all his awards ceremonies, he has come running to me and refuses to go back to his class. This time he walked by me on his way to the front of the church (we had the final awards in the sanctuary rather than in the gym), looked at me and said "hi mama" and kept going! Throughout the ceremony, he would run to me and say hi mom and run back, but at least he ran back! I would always have to sit with him and I was really nervous this time because I was taking pictures. He got all kinds of awards, he got patches for his uniform vest, a participation ribbon, and an award for completing the book. I even got an award for bringing him! I'm so happy this worked out, I was afraid it wouldn't since he was so young.

I heard from preschool again. They canceled the meeting we had scheduled because the ISD did the evaluations they were going to do when they came to the apartment. I'm a little confused by this because I asked if we should keep the meeting and was told yes because different evaluations would be done!

I'm boiling eggs to pickle for potato salad later and the kitchen is so very warm! I was going to make bread also but didn't leave myself any eggs for it!

Alphabet Photography

While I was surfing around on Facebook today I discovered a site dedicated to Alphabet Photography. I love the idea and think I might try something similar when I go to the park with my little Prince Charming this weekend, providing he is feeling better that is. He's awfully clingy today and isn't eating much. Just thought I'd share the creative idea with you!

Another sick day

Poor Little prince Charming woke up at midnight covered head to toe in his own sick. I had to wash jammies, sheets, pillow, and a couple stuffed animals. Oh, and a throw rug. poor little man is laying down in front of the tv watching Bunnytown and eating crackers. He doesn't want to eat anything, just drink apple juice. Hopefully this doesn't last long.

Moms can't call in

Unfortunately, when a mommy gets the flu, she still has to do her mommy job. What is very fortunate is that my little Prince Charming lived up to his nickname! He put away all his toys, threw the garbage in the trash can, put plates in the sink, I just can't believe what a blessing he is and he's only 3-1/2! I lost 5 pounds with this bout of sickness, which is good and bad. Good that the numbers on the scale went down, but bad in the method it occurred! I finally got around to putting in a load of laundry, which never got put away, and turning on the dishwasher. I'm feeling better enough today to have gone for my walk with my brother and even got the kitchen mostly cleaned up. I spent a half hour or so on it which is really unusual as I can get it done in 15 minutes or less most days. I guess things pile up after a few days! I'm taking a rest now because I'm worn out already and my stomach is getting upset again. So much to do, but I have to take it easy or have a relapse!

I've been talking with my sil who is a cosmetologist about getting together sometime this summer for glamour shots. I'm doing a promo shoot Thursday to advertise for them. I think it will be a lot of work, but fun!

afternoon at the park

Unfortunately Little Prince Charming didn't get to play. He was still working on his picnic lunch when his friend had to use the bathroom and apparently, our town has the only park in the world without a public restroom! It was 7:00 anyway so we took the kids home. He didn't complain one tiny bit. i told him maybe we'd go back tomorrow afternoon. It's supposed to be nice again.

Preschool!

Well, I got my little Prince Charming all registered for preschool and now have to wait to see if he's approved. We may make too much to be approved, but there's a different program that 's geared more for special needs that the home visitor thought we might qualify for. I'll hear back on Friday!

asthma and a sinus infection

sinus infections aren't a big deal for most people, but couple that with asthma in a 3 year old who doesn't know how to be still and it's a life and death situation! Such is the way my weekend has gone. My sweet little prince had the sniffles for a couple days and I waited to see if it would clear up on its own. I decided halfway through Thursday that if he wasn't any better Friday morning I was calling his ped. He started coughing Friday morning so I called and they got him in that morning, thankfully! He was on antibiotics all day and still got worse. I think maybe they had to catch up. Last night he woke up hollering in the middle of the night so I gave him his rx cough med since he was due for a dose anyway. I also gave him a breathing treatment to stave off an attack. he pretty much passed out afterward. This rx cough med is really good. It takes care of his cough completely. He spiked a fever of 101.1 yesterday and again this morning. poor little guy just wants to lay around watching movies and darn it I'm going to let him! So much for shopping for his Easter presents today. :-(

Easter Egg Hunt

I can't believe I left my camera at home. Me-a photographer! I didn't get any pictures of the Easter Egg Hunt, but my little Prince Charming didn't do much to take pictures of anyway! He mostly just wanted to play on the swingset while the other kids collected eggs. I'm glad he's not greedy.

 

I can't believe how big my little boy is getting! We haven't had many good spring days here in Michigan so it was a rare treat to get outside and play. Little Prince Charming loves his bike, but can't seem to understand how to pedal. I have done everything I can think of to help him. He tries to push down on both pedals lkike he's trying to stand up instead of one at a time. But he sure was proud to be outside on his big boy bike that Great Meemaw got him for Christmas.

Preschool registration

I registered my sweet little Prince Charming for preschool today. He's not yet 4 so I don't know if they'll let him in or not, as they take 4 year olds first. He got a referral for hearing and speech. I figured he'd get one on speech, but thought his hearing was ok. The tester said that if he had a cold then fluid behind the ear would show that reading. He had one a couple weeks ago and she said that it could still affect his hearing.
