Break it down white boy!

Sick of being sick

Nathan has been sick for over a week now. That's why my posting has been lacking. It started Thursday, with what seemed to be a flare up of his asthma. So I did the normal protocol for that and he just didn't seem better. So I took him to the pediatrician Sunday afternoon. He put him on a new medicine for his nebulizer and a steroid. I drop Nathan off at the house to go fill his prescription and to buy groceries. Kent sends me a text asking when I was going to get back home. I knew that wasn't good. Nathan had been throwing up since I left. So, I get home and start Nathan on the new meds. He throws up.. a lot. So we have a rough couple of days until Tuesday when I had, had enough and took him back to the doctor. This time we got to see our actual pediatrician. She looked him over and he had developed an infection in his chest. So she put him on antibiotics for that. And since then it has made all the difference. He is acting so much better. He's fever is completely gone and his breathing has improved drastically! I am so happy that we are hopefully seeing the light at the end of this sick, germ filled tunnel. I do have to take him back tomorrow and get him rechecked. Hopefully once we get completely over this and I can get my house back into a reasonable, clean order there will be more posts from me. Until then, I'm not promising much.

Jon Kent funny

The other day I was turning Jon Kent's Wii game on for him. I was just clicking buttons trying to get through all the preview stuff. Jon Kent told me he wanted to watch the story part, but I forgot and clicked right through it. He got mad and I told him I was sorry that I just wasn't thinking. Then today he wants to play the same game and asked to watch the story part. I said OK. He then says, while it is coming on, "Momma, today just keep thinking and don't stop so that I can see the story at the beginning. Don't stop thinking, OK?!?"

Zoey-ism

School with teacher Zoey

I do school most days with the kids. Just basic teaching of letters, numbers, opposites, etc. We have a little preschool workbook that we work out of it and I also do free style stuff on my own as well. Today, I brought the kids drawing/chalk board out to go over practice writing with their letters. The kids enjoyed it and when we got done Zoey wanted to take over with being the teacher. So it went a little something like this:

I asked Zoey if I could take her picture as the teacher before we started. She agreed. Yes, I totally fixed her hair that way. It made me laugh. She said it looks like a bear paw on her head. That made me laugh more. Laughter is a good thing. Try it sometime.
So then she went on with her teaching lesson. She taught me how to draw a pig, myself, a red rainbow, a door with a knocker on it, a house, her and some letters. During the lesson time I snapped another picture of her teaching...

She wasn't please. I got in trouble. :X

After it was all done, I had learned so much. She made a perfect teacher. Getting on to me when needed but still encouraging me all along the way.

Jon Kent's 2nd Upward Basketball game

It went well. Jon Kent played so much better. I guess the "practice" times we are putting out on the drive-way shooting hoops is paying off. He just loves basketball. As does Kent, and Kent's daddy and Kent's daddy's daddy. It must run in their blood or something. So anyway, Jon Kent made 3 shots and scored 6 points. We were so proud of him. My parents got to see him played as well and they were thrilled. Every time Jon Kent scored he would run back down the court, all pumped, look over at us and grin. He was so excited and proud. We were, too.

Jon Kent funny

So, the other day when I took Jon Kent to have his hearing rechecked he had to go into the sound booth. The kids and I were right outside the door in the waiting room. When Jon Kent got out I asked him how it went. This is what he told me.

The lady nurse told me to go into the booth. So I did. Then she told me to sit down. So I did. But when she closed the door I told myself... I'm trapped.

The things kids think up.
