Sick Boy

 

Well not a lot to report this week with Eric. Yesterday he walked up to me and said "make me warm" I got him all cuddled up in the blankie that Grandma E made for him and the next thing I knew he was fast asleep. When he starting groaning in his sleep I was pretty sure something wasn't right and sure enough. 101.3. Sick smile  When he gets sick he just wants to sleep, his whole world shuts down. (hmmm I know someone else like that, right Rick? Winking smile.... ) anyhow he was resting on the couch and when I got home he was all perky and his color was a little more normal and he said "I throw up in a bucket" He said this with great pride and was pretty excited about the whole event. I just looked at Rick and he nodded his head yes.                                                                                                                                       

Eric went on to inform me he was no longer sick. Wouldn't it be a perfect world if it were really that simple! He was up in the night and has hung close to his bucket all morning. He's managed to get up enough energy to play the playstation. Poor boy stuck home with the playstation and a hot wheels game! Smile 

He has mentioned more than a few times since Wednesday night that his ear hurts. Right before lunch he made a really high squeaky voice and said "my ear needs medicine" I said "what did you say?" Eric replied "it was my ear it says (he put on his squeaky voice) i need medicine, (back to normal voice to say) see I told you it was my ear".                                                                                    

Because I'm in no mood to fit an ER visit in this weekend we are going in this afternoon to get his ear checked. His temp goes up and down up and down. It's weird.

Other than that Eric is trucking along. Talking much about being a race car driver when he grows up. That makes mama's heart race but hopefully he'll find another passion that involves less speed between now and then. He sure does love cars though. There's a car lot that has a GT40 and I guess this is a nice race car. Whenever we're over by there he asks if we can drive by it. I'm afraid they're going to think we're casing the place! He just loves to look at it. You know that could be a great birthday idea. Rick if you read this make a note Smile

Speaking of the birthday. The Spider-Man invitations are getting ready to go in the mail. We're having little friends over this year. His first "friend party" other than daycare friends. On the menu we will be serving Grilled Cheese sandwiches as that is his favorite. I wish I could think of a creative way to make something like web grilled cheese. Need to do some thinking for the menu and make it really cool. I'm not very clever with that so I'm open to suggestions.

Heaven

Image
The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
