You just never know

You just never know what lies ahead when dealing with a little one.  After a fun weekend of having friends over Friday night, hanging out Saturday with Champs all day while Daddy went to Charleston for a friends party, and then going to Aiken for a wedding shower for Ashley on Sunday - I was ready to start a very busy week.  I have a work event on Thursday (no big deal, I have them all the time), am hosting Catherine's baby shower here on Sunday and am in charge of the neighborhood Egg Hunt on Sunday at the same time.

I was ready to juggle all of this successfully when I get a call on Monday afternoon that Champs has fever and I need to come get him!  Poor baby - hate thinking about him feeling bad.  But did he not know, this was not the week I could afford to stay home with him - haha - too much going on!  But so it was....he had fever on Monday afternoon, not again until Tues right before bed (I thought he was totally fine all day Tues!) and then a rough night last night so we took him to doctor this morning.  I was completely expecting doctor to say strep, but no - we find out today he has hand, foot and mouth....again.  Remember the first episode last summer?  Whew!  Luckily, so far I literally see no spots on him but the doctor says he has some inside his mouth.  Ouch.  I am praying since he's already had it once he won't get it bad this time.

So anyway, this week has been challenging trying to get all my work done and prepare for the events this weekend while being at home with C, but we're managing!  Here are a few pics of little boo boo bear last weekend and this week!

Loves to look out his window when he first wakes up every morning.

Tight squeeze.

Big slide!

Easier way down?

Just driving in my car with my key.

What's up Mommy?

After getting the fever call on Monday. Snuggle time with mommy.

Desperate times = desperate measures.  Would NOT go to sleep last night.  This was after getting BACK up around 12:30 I gave in and we watched some Wheels on the Bus. 

Seemed a lot better this morning.  But maybe was just because he is so excited for his new alligator shorts!

Here's to a great weekend ahead!!  HFM - go away!! Side note, I have officially been blogging for a year!  Hard to believe.  I had no idea how long I'd keep it up when I started, but I've found it to be a fun outlet and place to record random thoughts and happenings regarding Champs.  I never really know who all reads it, but I do hear from a few of you who enjoy it!  Here we go - year 2 of the Melvin Adventures!
