it sucked to be Little Bug today

So today it sucked in a big way to be Little Bug. It was just not a good day on so many levels.

First his momma (that would be me) told him that he was going to the doctor's today and he would get a booboo- this said before he went to be last night so he had all night to worry about the shot.
So at 7 am when we got up this morning, he mentioned that his back and tummy hurt. Momma, mistakenly, assumed they hurt because of toy he decided to sleep with last night. Momma blythly went about the morning routinue.
LittBug decided breakfast was an option not a requirement this morning and continued to complain about his belly hurting. Momma got a clue and asked if he was worried about the doctor's office. YEs came the reply. Momma tried in vain to reassure Little Bug that it would be alright.
Momma noticed that Little Bug was a bit warm and had a runny nose, so she decided to give him some medicine. Well, that lasted about 10 seconds before Little Bug, his shirt, his pants, his shoes and the rug in the bathroom were covered with medicine and his dinner from last night. Yep- he threw up and it was the first time since coming home that Momma had to deal with this event.

After being cleaned up and bundled up, it conintued to get worst becuase Momma drove him over to Mam and Pap's house to pick them up to go to the doctor appointment.

Well the doctor appointment went over like a lead ballon- too many people checking him over, asking him to stack blocks, open his mouth and then the dreaded booboos. Not just one stick but two. Momma did not know that he would get another TB test in additon to the 3 tubes of blood being drawn. It was a very bad doctor visit.

On a good note for Momma, Little Bug got to sit in Momma's lap for TB test and the blood draw- so Momma was not freaked out by having to hold her Little Bug down and Little Bug was at least being hugged. An appointment that was supposed to last 2 hours was nearly 4 hours. Little Bug was worn out and stayed warm for the rest of the day. I had planned to go back to work in the afternoon, but between the TB test, the 4 hour apppointment and the throwing up, I felt it was better to speand the afternoon with Little Bug. He slept most of the afternoon and finally starting acting like normal around 5 pm. he still has not eaten more than 2 bites at any meal and when he went to bed at 8 pm- he was out in 10 minutes. This day wore him out.

On the good side- here are his stats:
height 35.75 inches (unchanged for the last 3 months)
weight 27 pounds
head circumference 49
height and weight are in the 25-50th percentile and head circumference is in the 50-75th percentile.
He is on target deveoplemently and his language skills are above his age group (which I knew).

The doctors were so happy to see how much he has progressed since coming home. I was just happy to hear that they do not need to see him again.
Now we just have our regular ped visits to deal with.

Sunday was a beautiful day here - Little Bug and I walked through the neighborhood. This is picture of his "treasures" he found- an acorn and a little rock. His hoodie made a good place to store the items while he drove his tractor home. Loving on the cat- Snickers
. Actually I think he was talking to snickers here This is petting Snickers. Dinner in the living room- watching the start of the Superbowl- a cheeseburger torn apart and some fries.

Off riding around the neighborhood

slowing down on the hill by taking the tractor off roading.
Look Momma- no feet!!!!!
Let's do that again- it was fun!!!!!!
Pushing the tractor through the yard to get home quickly.

Saturay night at J&N's house

In the play yard with all the toys.

Hopefully Tuesday will be a better day for Little Bug and Momma- this day sure wore us both out.

Love to you,
