What a Day and it's only 7:30

Good morning all,
Nathan is feeling much better. Yesterday he ate his normal amount of food and was in a semi good mood. He's still not sleeping much at daycare so he comes home exhausted. We let him sleep till 6 but he's still a little cranky when he gets up. But the daycare people said he was in good spirits yesterday. I believe that was because they actually gave him the medication yesterday as opposed to the day before. There's this little game you have to play which I was not aware of. Nathan had a very slight fever and I just told them to give him the meds. But they said they wanted to monitor the fever to see if it would spike. My thought was if you give him the meds it won't spike. Here's the dilemna. The daycare is not allowed to give him meds for a fever due to an illness. They are however allowed to give him meds for a fever due to teething. All the while they are explaining this difference to me they are asking me if he's teething. Finally I catch on and say "OH YES, why certainly he's teething!" Actually I do believe he's teething now but now I know for the future.. anytime he has a slight fever, he's teething.

This morning has been quite frustrating already. First, Nathan wakes up at 4:15 and wants to eat. Then the alarm goes off at 5:30 (a normal event but not one I enjoy). Then I have to get out of bed (another normal event). Then I go to take the dog out only to discover that it's SNOWING!! I had forgotten that it was going to snow. Oh well. We all are getting ready to leave. Nathan is actually in a very good mood and no arguments from either Matt or Nathan about waking up. We are running a few minutes behind as usual. I leave and then Matt leaves soon after to take Nathan to daycare. Now Matt has the plush new car seat in his car that you don't take in and out. I still have the carrier one because Nathan falls asleep on the way home and I hate waking him to get him in the house. Can you see what happened already? I'm 7/8ths of the way to work when I realize DUH! I forgot the car seat at home. Thankfully, Matt left his at daycare for me. Hopefully it won't be too complicated to put in my car. Here's to hoping that the rest of the day will be smooth sailing.

Here's your daily Nathan pic. He doesn't look too amused, maybe because daddy's being boring.

The day did turn out quite alright. Nathan just wears Daddy out sometimes.
