Spring Break with the boy

Well this week is drawing to a close and if you've been following on facebook or twitter then you're probably aware I'm on Spring Break. I thought I would share the highlights of my week with the Zig.

Monday Annie stayed home because the baby was sick (he had been sick for the past 5 days). We took him to the doctors and she ordered an x-ray for the little guy. I had to be tough in front of him and not show how scared I really was. We walked into a dimly lit room and put on these x-ray protector vests. They harnessed him in a contraption in what Annie describes as, "Some Hannibal Lecter looking thing." As scary as it was, it was over and we were out. RSV test, throat culture, and x-ray came back negative and Isaiah just has to get over his little cold.

Tuesday was fun. Annie went to work (Not the reason it was fun!) It was just the boy and I all day. Slept a lot that day because he was sick. Rest is what this boy needed because he woke up in a great mood and I managed to tape his laughing attack you might have seen by now on youtube. Who knew he would get such a kick out of hearing his daddy say "Go Boom!" Crazy kid!

Wednesday I had to make a pit stop at the dentist so I dropped off the baby at grandma's and papa's house. had lunch with them. Came home to spend more quality time with the Zig. Returned that night back at my parent's house for dinner.

We pretty much spent all day on Thursday staring at each other. Nowhere to go. wanted to go for a walk but remembered Annie had driven to work with the stroller in the back. Made dinner that night! Yes, I made dinner! Nothing fancy. Smoked sausage and potatoes. It's the only complete meal, if you call it a meal, I know how to make. It's the thought that counts right?!

Side note: He's decided these past two days to wake-up at between 2:30am and 3:00 am. Lucky me because I'm on spring break, I get to stay up with him and put him back to sleep. Very tired.

So here we are on Friday. Beautiful day. Annie left the stroller for me. Went on our walk. Sitting next to me as I type this. I had fun this week. Sure it was tough and it felt like Groundhogs Day every day (wake-up, feed, change diaper, play, sleep, wake-up, feed, change diaper, play, sleep...)One can imagine the excitement I felt at 7:00pm when I knew Annie would be walking through the door any minute. However, the quality time I got to spend with my son far outweighs the exhaustion I felt at the end of the day. I'll miss him next week when I return to work. I love my little dude and I hoped I showed it this week.
