Yellow

So I stayed home with Dalton yesterday because he was supposed to be getting a TBD shot and some bloodwork done. The doctor had called me back when we had his 12 month check up and told me that the substitute nurse forgot to give this shot to him when he was there and forgot to tell us to go get bloodwork done. Well when we got there I was asking the nurse who we always have if we could have a copy of his shot record for the airplane because we are leaving for Disney soon. (BTW I was warned by a coworker that they will not let you board without their shot record if they are sitting on your lap even if you have their birth certificate becuase they made him and his wife go home to get their shot records before they would allow them on the flight which cause them to have to be on a different one) She asked me oh is that why you are wanting him to have this TBD shot? I said no that his pediatrician had told me that he had to have it at 1 year and she said that the only way he would need that shot right now is if he was around kids who have tuberculosis or if he's been around people that were in jail. Since he has not been around either she said it's just recommended not required so we didn't make him get it just yet. I will wait until he gets a little older before we do that. Instead since we were there he got his flu shot. I didn't even know that the flu was already going around however when I got to work this morning I realized that someone in my office has been out all week with the flu. Everyone get prepared early especially if you have little ones I would never want to see one of them have to suffer through that. I am glad that Dalton already has his now so it's done with and will start working already. Sure enough yesterday around 2 I suddenly got very sick. I couldn't move my neck or arms without it hurting. I was so stiff and sore in all my joints and I just wanted to lay down and be still. I was very nauseated and had the worst headache imaginable. I was freezing to where I was shaking but yet I was burning up when you touched me. I guess that's what I get for saying "the flu isn't even out yet". Luckily this morning I feel so much better and I now and stocking up on germ x and wet ones along with orange juice so that our family won't get sick during this season. It just sucks that always around the holidays is when people get sick I mean that's when it's fun and cool outside and so much is going on and that's when you get sick:( I pray that Dalton does not get sick not one day this year because last year the poor little guy lived with a stuffed nose and cough all througout winter.

Anyways while I was home with him yesterday my grandma came over to be with us. She always talks to him and says words and spells everything that she's saying. Well I always make fun of her when she does this but yesterday I saw that Dalton really does pick up what she's saying. He was building his legos and she was telling him the colors and he already knows the word blue or BOO as he says so when she was saying that he would say it back but yesterday when she said the word yellow he repeated ELLOW. It was awesome to hear him say that and pick up the yellow lego as he was saying it. I can't believe how fast he is learning it's just amazing. Another thing is he says Aggie clear as day now he used to call him Addie but now it's aggie so he got the g sound down. He also runs to the tv and points and says Dehhdo for Go Diego Go and when the show comes on and he hears the music no matter what room he's in he comes running in and skips in circles in the living room. I don't know what it is about little kids wanting to go in circles but one of my friend's son's Jace does the same thing she tells me he runs in circles in the living room? I know I definitely could not do it as quick as they do I would for sure run into something but they will come soooo close to the entertainment center and then they always seem to miss it. His skip is just adorable I got it on tape because it's not a full fledge skip he looks like he's trying to jump/skip but only with the top half of his body, ha!!! Other new things is he is telling us no when he doesn't want something. Before he would just kind of walk away or shake his head no but now when we ask him do you want this he shakes his head and puts this puzzled look on his face like you should know I don't want that and tells us no. I think his favorite word is huh. Every time I say something if he doesn't hear me he goes "uuh??" in a question tone. I just love my little parrot these days who repeats everything to me. I just have to try to tone down my road rage because sometimes I say bad things that I for sure don't want him saying. But he will repeat everything whether it's good or bad so I'm starting to watch myself more and more.

I am going to try to post the before and after pictures of the front yard tomorrow. I just got a chance to take all the pictures of the after and now I just have to upload them on the computer to post them.
