So we have had quite a week to say the least. On Saturday Bailey got a high fever and complained of a sore throat. Monday we went to the Dr and it was a viral throat infection so no meds. They did send her home with pain meds because her throat was so yucky. Well no luck getting her to drink that but she did take Motrin pretty good. She didn't drink much for three days and didn't eat food for eight days. Yes..crazy! Very long long nights in the Verdell household would be an understatement. She did start to eat again today so it is a huge praise. We went back to the dr. on Thursday because she wasn't improving. Just not a lot they could do except make sure she wasn't dehydrated. Well today my poor little Jacks is now complaining when he swallows so I'm praying that since he doesn't have tonsils it might not hit him the same. I was also sick this past week along with Brooklyn getting her shots and having a yucky tummy for 24 hrs afterwards. Highlight of the week was Jackson and Daddy walking in to my room while I was sick and said close your eyes..surprise...with an amazing new laptop with all the fixins. Beautiful huge screen and can hold so much more memory. I am pumped. It was my Mother's day present but they couldn't wait til Sunday and I'm glad they didn't. Thanks Daddy. Last weekend Jackson had a tball game and opening ceremony. Then on Sunday was the open house at the ELC. He did gymnastics and singing during the performance. The child loves to be on stage. He grins so big the entire time. It was so much fun to watch him. Bailey was sick so she missed singing with her friends but she cheered on her bubba. Well another big milestone this week is my baby Brooklyn is taking 6-8 steps at a time, making all kind of animal noises, loving to talk, and is also starting to throw some hilarious fits throwing arms, legs, body and all while grinning at the same time. She is going to be dramatic even though she is a happy bug she likes attention, thrills, people, and isn't very shy. She is such a stinker for sure. Also Miss Bailey decided to throw her Ne-Ne in the trash!!!!! Yes her passy is gone and I'm so happy. At the same time it means that any part of her toddler baby look is gone. I have been telling her that her bubba did this on his third bday so he could get big boy presents and that she would need to do it too to get to be a big girl. She wasn't happy about the idea but then once her throat started to hurt I could tell it was bothering her so I told her I had a big girl bday present already and she could have it early if she threw it in the trash for another baby to have. She was excited about it and did it. I was in shock because I have been dreading the day she turned three because of her attachment to it. In fact I was scared to post until I knew it was a thing of the past. Well day seven and counting..no ne-ne. She doesn't want Brooklyn's and is very proud of herself. So today we went and got a goldfish for her accomplishment. She was elated and couldn't wait to get home and show Jackson and her Daddy what she picked out. She named him "bubba" which I thought was precious. She feed him and Jackson has already asked where he will go when he dies. O if only I could record some of our conversations around here. He asks me how does your brain tell your arm to move and then it does it and why can't you see air and what is inside our bones and what makes a car go and i know Jesus was on a cross and died but what on the cross killed him. He is such a deep thinker and my little man full of questions and deep thought. Just wanted to write down because I know I will forget all of the little funny things he says. Here is the pics of him over this past week.
