Calling Saturday busy would be an understatement! My mom flew in around 1:15 then we went off to a party for one of our close friend's daughter. She turned 1 and had a backyard bash! We had a lot of fun at the party as there was great food, a little pool for the kids, lots of space to run, a tent to keep shade, and great company. James enjoyed running around, but was a bit wobbly so I had to keep a close watch on him.
James had a fever on Thursday so I stayed home with him. His fever seemed to be better in the afternoon, however it started up again on Friday morning. I knew something was up so decided to take him to the emergency. As I knew it would be near impossible to get an appointment at his regular doctor. After getting checked out it seemed like he had a virus. Then I told the doctor that he's prone to ear infections and asked him to take a look.
We assumed the hold position that James was all too used to, so of course he was fighting. The doctor tried to see, but both ears where blocked with wax. He left to room to get something to clean it. When he retired he had a long metal rod. I got nervous. I said that there was no way James would hold still for him to use that. He said that he would if I held his arms. I trusted him knowing that I'd scoop up my child if he was still flailing. Luckily James was calm and allowed him to clean the wax. There were huge chunks in there. It was nuts. I even took a pic to show Adit. Lol! But after that we heard that he does have a double ear infection. :(
So now that you are up to speed, that's why James was so wobbly. Otherwise he's a steady walker. James is still such a happy baby despite how he feels. In any case he had a great time and there were a couple dogs in the yard that James followed pointing at them. It was funny.
After the party we headed home, gave him dinner that he actually ate meaning that his food strike is nearing an end. Then he had a bath and went to bed. While nursing him I checked my phone since I didn't all day. I had many messages about a girls's night. I completely forgot that I was meeting the girls tonight and the best part of forgetting was that I planned it! Lol!
After James was asleep I quickly got ready and left to meet the gang. We went to a little place that had a patio. It was a drinks and dessert night, but since two of us didn't have dinner we opted for some yummy calzones. They were really good. we enjoyed catching up and had great conversation. Initially I thought I'd be home around 11:30, but I got home at around 1:00am! None of us wanted the night to end!
I had a great day at the party and amazing night with the girls! Hope you had a great Saturday too!
Happy reading!
