Do the math people...original wake up time was 6:30 am on a Saturday....I don't think so! We then took a leisurely breakfast where the little man had soggy cheerios from a spoon and then we made our weekly grocery run. I was a little bummed since we didn't save quite as much as we spent (I'm a huge couponer), but then remembered that I had an $18 rebate coming my way! After a good nap, we made our weekly Home Depot run and for the 2nd time the little man freaked out when B unloaded a sheet of plywood from the shelves onto the cart??? Not sure why this happens, but we'll need to remedy this as we buy a lot of plywood (see sidebar in reference to the state of our house.) Since it was such a nice day I decided that TJ needed to have his first swing experience outside, but this was easier said than done as we currently don't own any type of swing. This situation was easily remedied by a quick trip to Babies R Us and yes, I had a coupon for those of you wondering. Well, I was right the little man enjoyed the heck out of it and this made my day. Of course, we had to video it.
So, overall Saturday was pretty fantastic, but Sunday was another story. It started off pretty good as we weren't too late leaving for Church and I hadn't forgotten the diaper bag, breakfast for Sunday School or the food donation that had been sitting on the kitchen counter for a month. However, I knew something was wrong when I heard a low moan emerge from the group of men standing in the corner and saw B holding up a flashing vibrating nursery beeper...uh oh here we go. I ran upstairs only to find a lethargic little man who had somehow gotten a fever in the 10 minutes since we had dropped him off. Now this had me slightly worried as it had come on so fast and this child has never had a fever even when he is sick (2 ear infections so far.) But B took him home, administered Tylenol, let him nap and by the time they came to pick me up (I had to stay as this was our week to help in the nursery during church) he was perfectly fine or so we thought. We went home, had lunch and my child who doesn't eat had a whole piece of turkey and some veggie soup. He played all afternoon and ate rice from our casserole and some broccoli for dinner. He seemed fine, so we got him ready for bed and I decided to take the temp one more time. Whoa, back up to 101.7. So we gave Tylenol again and laid him down. Ten minutes later, unusual crying began so we rushed to the nursery. Unfortunately, my hubby (with the weaker stomach) happened to be first on the scene and picked up the crying lad right before he let loose projectile vomit everywhere....and yes, B's mouth was open! So of course an unscheduled cold bath ensued to clean up and bring down his temp and finally the little man went to sleep. That is until we made the bad decision to wake him at midnight to check the temp again. The fever was gone, but our unrestful night had just begun. So, our crazy weekend of ups and downs is par for the course around the Behrens house, but I would go through anything for my 2 favorite men.
