So, the last two weeks since Nana and Papa left....we have been battling the September/Being around other kids for the first time cold and illness junk with Josh. I'm just dealing with allergies since it's harvesting time! Anyways, Josh has never had a high fever(thankfully) until last week when it was 103 two nights in a row. He was hot to touch, inconsolable, and wouldn't even settle down in his favorite thing...the bathtub!!! I was exhausted since I guess kids' fevers like to spike in the middle of the night...so, we were up from 11pm to 5am several nights in a row.
There's one thing during all of this that we hadn't encountered before....When it is 3 in the morning and Josh is screaming, crying, and burning up....I tend to not think straight, ask Eric atleast 10 questions all at the same time and want all 10 responses back just as quickly with reassurance. The catch is...Eric answers them back just as quickly, with confidence, but answers one as a doctor when I want a husband or another one as a father when I want a doctor's answer!!! Pretty much, my expectations were completely scewed and our communication was at a loss because I expected him to read my mind and know what 'hat' to put on and answer each one of my questions differently!! It was a lose/lose/lose situation for all of us and poor Josh just felt so sick and we felt completely helpless. Then we remembered something that gets Josh's attention without fail!!! That something is an entertaining foursome from Australia called The Wiggles!!! So, it is 4 in the morning, we're all sitting in front of the tv(Gidget too), watching these guys sing and dance and Josh immediately calms down. It wasn't really funny then, well, it kinda was...as I look back I'm pretty sure Eric was sitting there the whole time, calm, reassuring, and really not wanting to say the wrong thing, but knowing everything was fine!!
Anyways, everything is fine(Eric was right, as usual)...Josh still has a little cold, but what kid doesn't right now!!
Well, we've finally settled into a routine(sorta)! I think Josh and I have figured out how to handle Eric being gone and on call so much(as much as you can)! :) Josh started 'school' one day a week at the church we go to here. It's an awesome program and we are both enjoying that day!! :) I'm also doing CBS every Thursday as well as one of the MOPS groups in the area. So, we stay pretty busy, but we also have alot of time just hanging out the two of us too!!!
The exciting news is Josh has started to walk. He picked it up one day and then hasn't stopped!!! My parents also came for a visit...or, I should say, Nana and Papa. It's always fun to have them here and we had a great time!!!
