Chocolate

Tate got a package from his aunt today. He was pretty excited about the CHOCOLATE!  He screamed with joy!  Brett was using the vacuum and Tate thought he needed to help with the dust buster.  I have a cold and feel terrible. It is making my morning sickness worse. I am thankful I put a bucket by my bed months ago. 

Horrible

Last night was terrible. Tate threw up all over his bed twice in the middle of the night. He also threw up on me which made me get sick. So by morning we were on our 3rd complete set of bedding, including pillows and comforter, 3 sets of pjs for Tate, 2 sets of pjs for me and 2 pairs of shorts for Brett.  Tate wasn't too interested in eating or drinking but he kept everything down. By afternoon he was running around outside.

Bug

I knew this day would come eventually.  Tate had his first stomach bug.  He threw up on Brett first thing this morning and then cried and said it was scary. He threw up all morning and cried and shook each time. Poor guy. He napped like normal and then tried to drink juice. It didn't stay down but shortly after he started eating and drinking with success. He was very clingy to me this evening and woke up once already and called out for me. 

During our bedtime prayer he told me that Jesus was sleeping and I needed to be quiet.

 

Funny

Tate was really loving the babies again today.  He put his head on my belly and said, "Babies!  Come get me!"

Tate got to help cut milo today.  Since today was rough for me and corn harvest made me sick, I opted to just be Tate's chauffeur to and from the field. 

I went over Tate's evaluation from his teacher today. He has received services for one year. He is at or above everything should be doing except he struggles at playing with other children. She observes him at daycare and has seen improvements. 

Finally, Tate was talking to the babies before bed and I passed gas. Tate yelled, "The babies are pooping!"  Gotta love him!  Ha!!

Sleep

Tate finally slept better last night and boy was he happy today. He told me that his brother and sister needed to grow some more. Later he gave my belly lots of kisses. He pretended that fish were biting him. Best of all, he told me that he loved me without me saying it first.  I love my smart, silly boy!  

Vote

I voted today. Tate had fun doing something different. He also enjoyed the metal fireman outside the fire station/polling location. He was on a path of mass destruction today and was into everything. 

Music

Tate is making music!  Poor guy still has a cough at night and isn't sleeping well.
