sick baby

i get the call from day care around 3:30pm - aiden is sick... he has a slight fever and a rash around his mouth (BTW - they had a child with hand, foot and mouth disease in his classroom) so i go pick him up and take him right to immediate care...

he had a fever of 103 and yes he definitely has hand, foot and mouth disease and it's the worse case that nurse has ever seen (or so she says) and they also do a strep test and a flu test... no flu - but aiden has strep! he was given and antibiotic for the strep - but there isn't anything to give for the HFMD - i've been doing some over the counter stuff for that... it seems to be helping a little.

he was pretty miserable - he ate a little and drank a little and then went to sleep

he has a rash around his mouth and on his genitals and both look pretty bad... he also has spots on his hands and feet - but also on his arms and legs... it's pretty bad. but it looks like the rash is starting to heal... i just pray that it doesn't scar him.

we did get to see grammy and poppy a little bit - they came up to do some work on their house.

i miss my mom and dad - i really could use them about now!

pictures from water babies

i got one of the grandma's sitting on the sidelines to take some pictures for me! here we are singing and splashing

and here we are practicing kicking.... aiden doesn't really like this part
climbing out of the pool for his toy
jumping into the pool!
throwing his toy into the pool....
ready to jump in after it!

i'll take it!

so aiden and i finished lunch and we were relaxing in the living room watching sprout (i was waiting for noon to put him down for nap) well - after chillin for a little he stands up and starts to walk back to his room - he turns around at the gate and says 'nigh-nigh' so i said okay and got up to follow him into his room - we walk into his room and he walks right up to his crib - ready to get in! i turn on his music and put him in his crib and he goes right to sleep.... i guess he was ready for nap!

water babies

aiden and i went to our first water babies class today! he did pretty good... after 20 minutes he was done though and started to fuss. at first he wasn't really sure about what to do - which surprised me because he usually LOVES to splash in the water - and when i wanted him to splash - nothing. but he eventually got into it. he did GREAT climbing out of the pool and he even jumped in a few times! can't wait to see how it goes on wednesday.

i'm going to take my camera on wednesday and hopefully there will be some bystanders around like today that can take some pictures for us!
