Something New!!

Glen is trying out his climbing skills!! He is definitely all boy. Today he climbed up on the play set all by himself! He is now tall enough that he can get his leg up onto the surface that leads to the short slide. He climbed on up there like he has done it several times before and then crawled over to the big slide and slid down by himself before I could get there to hold his hands. The climbing part he did great, the sliding part didn't work out that well. He hit the ground with his butt and his head hit the slide. Luckily the slide is plastic and didn't really hurt him.

And if that wasn't enough, Glen climbed up onto the recliner without help and without a stool! He is getting bigger and bigger everyday! What will he do next?!

Yup, Flu!

Yes it was the flu! It definitly was not fun to watch the little guy go through that. He did pretty well all and all. When his fever got up to 102.8, he was running around playing with toys and acting like he wasn't even sick. Night time was the worst. He had a hard time sleeping. During the day he did pretty well. Played when he could, and just sat and watched some tv when he was tired.

We went to lunch with Me'me and Aunt Bonnie today. It was fun. Glen had a good time.

Glen had a speech on Wed. and the therapist has noticed a lot of improvement. He is starting vocalize more and he will now say yes or no to something. I think it won't be long and he is gonna start talking.

Sick again!

Poor Glen is sick again. Of course I think the last time he was sick was in April. It could be a cold virus or the flu. Either way there is nothing the dr can do so we have just been doing tylenol, fluid, and rest. It started the night before last. He has had a runny nose, fever and chills. Needless to say, we are not going to story time today. He slept much better after I gave him tylenol last night at 12:30 am. I think it broke his fever for a little while and the chills went away. The fever has started coming back since he woke up this morning though. It really hasn't phased his playing for the most part. My poor child, it is very hard to tell when he is sick cause he acts only slightly different than normal. Hopefully he will be back to normal before it is time to go to Me'me' and Pe'pe's house.

Great Day!!

Glen and I went to mommy and me time in commerce today and had a blast! Glen is old enough to try the kidsersize on Wed. so we are going to attempt it. We also found out that Jefferson has some kind of kids play group that meets during the week so I am going to do a little more research into that and hopefully it pans out. I took a little me time and went to get a Mani and Pedi and really enjoyed that. We went to Athens tonight to get Sam some shoes and then we went to dinner at Chili's. Glen ate two slices of cheese pizza and some corn and boy was he an active child at the dinner table. He insisted on being in the booth next to me and the boy would not sit still for a minute. We have found that he eats more if he is able to move around. During lunch today I let him stay out of his highchair and he a whole half of a turkey and mayo sandwich. I cut Glen's hair tonight and he was not happy about it. It had been a while and he forgot what it was like and he was a little scared but we got passed it and then got in the tub to was the pound of hair I cut off of him. He has been such a good boy today!

Glen and his hat!

Glen has gotten to where he likes to wear his hat everywhere. Two days ago he put it on as soon as soon as he got up and wore it during breakfast and to story time at the library. Yesterday he wore it all day again and he put it on this morning as soon as he found it. He is wearing it right now while he watches super why! and climbing on the couch and turning the light on and off. He also likes to pull it down over his eyes and try and walk around while he can't see. He also climbed up on to the coffee table yesterday and proceeded to push everything off until there was nothing on the table except him. Then he climbed down. I really wonder what goes through his head sometimes. We went to the farm this past weekend and had a blast with family! Glen did awesome at story time on tues. He kept trying to jump and shook his hands when we did the hokey pokey. He is so funny!

Jefferson Story Time!!

Glen had an awesome time at story time this morning. He got to see his friend Cole, and the book today was "Trashy Town". During the dance time Glen had attempted to jump and he did very well with all the other children. For craft we made a caterpiller out of an egg carton. I did most of the work, Glen helped put the glue on the tissue paper we used.

Sam has done a wonderful job of getting the back yard grass to grow and look good. The weeds are just about gone and the bermuda has really spread. He has been keeping busy this summer with work and the yard.

I hit the gym this morning and feel great! Now I'm trying to get the carpets cleaned!
