Ornery

whoa...last week was rough.  Head cold central at the Villani residence! Confession...being sick and a stay at home mom is HARD! I thought I felt sorry for myself for feeling icky and then I heard my little man cough...and my heart wrenched.  Quite possibly the worst sound ever.  I am worried how I will react when he throws up (for real, for real) or has a serious illness (flu, high temp, etc).  Luckily, his cough is dry and probably allergy related.  One would assume that he could simply start an allergy med and things would improve greatly...well you know what they say about ASS-U-Ming.  He takes a fever reducer no problem, vitamins no problem, allergy med-gag, cough, hiss, spit, cry.  I might have to get tricky, but he has to start taking it once a day. Currently taking suggestions???

On a happier note Reed started CDO (children's day out) last week so today was his second day.  When I arrived to pick him up he was wearing a different outfit than the one he was dropped off in (immediately a Mom think, uh oh).  The report I received was that he had pulled another baby's lunch into his own lap, had of course refused to nap, would not take his bottle and that they had decided he might be a little ornery.  I wanted to say "ya think?".  Needless to say it made me chuckle a little.  I knew something was fishy last week when they said he was "perfect" on his first day.  He just needed time for the new to wear off...now he is READY, ready for trouble baby!

This weekend is the Bates Family Reunion, cannot wait.  I am hoping to have lots of pictures to post after an eventful weekend.  See you soon!
