MOM!, There's blood in my oatmeal!

Today I made Nolan his usual morning breakfast,  Oatmeal (his favorite).
He prefers cinnamon and sugar but I was out so I made him Strawberry oatmeal. While the water was getting hot, I played tug-of-war with Snowflake, our 12 pound chihuahua. Her preference is to play with a sock. So as I was "tugging and warring" she lost grip and bit me (on accident). I stopped and went to finish making Nolan his oatmeal. When he sat down at the table he immediately jumped up and ran to me. "Are you ok mom?" I said, "Sure, I'm fine. Why?" He said, "You bled in my oatmeal." I had to reassure him I was ok and that Snowflake had not drawn blood. He did eat his breakfast after some convincing that it was strawberries and not my blood. Being a mommies boy, he looked my hand over to see for himself that I was not bleeding.
However, on Halloween, I could get him good with a little red food coloring if I wanted to really scare him.... We shall see.....

Jacobs pregnant!

The stomach bug is going around.... It's that time of year.
Jacob woke up this morning not feeling well. Today was supposed to be his fall party in preschool so he was putting on his brave face so he could go. Around 11:00 I asked him if he wanted to take a bath before the party. He quickly stripped and jumped in the bath. (He loves baths) No sooner did he get his foot in the tub he said he had to "potty". He got out and went to the toilet and did his business, but before flushing out came all his breakfast x 3. I asked him if his stomach hurt, and he said "yeah, the babies inside won't quit moving"

I guess thats his way of having a tummy ache. He has mentioned a few more times that "his babies are moving a lot". Unfortunately that meant I had to call his teacher and tell her he couldn't go to his party.
I felt like the worlds meanest mom as he was bawling his eyes out because he was going to miss it.
They did however, promise to save him several treats and party favors.

He pepped up a little and stop crying as hard when he found that he would still get his "trick or treat" bag he made. Then a little bribe from me to buy him a toy helped as well. (I'm a softie)

He picked out a skateboard set (the miniature kind) and we played "skateboard" all afternoon till he zonked out on the couch. He must truly have a small bug because he NEVER takes a nap on his own. He fell asleep on his own at 2:00 and its now 4:45.

I just hope his morning sickness goes away soon. He doesn't deserve to be sick, especially the babies in his stomach as well.
