Sick Boy

So Wed morning, I get Hayden out of bed and notice he is a little warm, but my thermometer is packed so i just pretend he is fine. He has a fairly good morning and then when i get him from nap, he is on FIRE! He feels so warm, so i calmy dig through my boxes and find the thermometer (one the 2nd box). and he is 102.5, so he has never had fever this high before so i throw him in the bath and give him tylenol. That zapped it for awhile till bed. He was in his bed for one hour and then awake and hot, so needless to say, in mommy and daddys bed teh rest of the night. Thursday he went up to 103 and basically laid on the couch and watched tv all day. This is coming from a boy that does not sit still, doesnt really watch tv for more than 2 min, and he has to be on my lap for 2 min, and doesnt lay or sit on the couch unless mommy is beside him. So he was lying there all day sometimes with me and sometimes by himself. But he was quite pitiful. So on friday we went to the doc, and of course he had no fever since 4am that morning and his coughing and running nose had disappeared. Don't you love it when that happens?!
So we went to my parents for the weekend and Hayden's fever never returned but he barely ate all weekend. So today, let alone this morning, i think he has made up for all the eating he missed.
On the talking side, someone told me it was right at the 18 month mark that her son just took off, and Hayden has begun at least. I know i write about his speech all the time, but now for real, i ahve something to be proud about. He can say shoe, paci (pacifier) he repeatedly told me this in the car today as he dropped it, shower, he tries to say blake, mommy and daddy, and papa. And today on the swing i said uncle brayden and i swear he said brayden more clearly than i have every heard him say something! But he is really taking off, for real this time.
Also i saw "the proposal" this weekend! so good, i recomment it fully!
