sensitive boy

Kennen is sensitive emotionally, and apparently dermatologically. He was in my bed since the wee hours of the morning and he kept thrashing around and crying. I kept buring my head under my pillow and telling him to hush up or go back to his crib. At around 5:00am he finally found the words to tell me what was wrong with him and he cried out, "Buh-Eye!"



"Bug bite?" I slipped my hand under his shirt and he was covered in hives. I stripped him down, gave him benadryl and sponged him down with Aveeno oatmeal bath, to which Kennen responded, "No day-doo! Doo-olh! Doo-olh!" (translation, 'no thank you, too cold too cold!!!) I kept him home from preschool because even though they aren't contagious, he would be a super duper whiny boy and I didn't want him to suffer without his interpreter (me).



Oh, and i have a secret. I haven't mentioned it because I didn't want to jinx it, but my boy is potty trained! I know that in another 6 months it could be a different story, but as it stands now, he just goes to the bathroom when he needs to. I am so close to Mommy freedom that I can taste it!

My passion party was great! Great food, lots of wine and a bunch of wild girls. I can't wait for my new friend to get here. Oh, and the best part is that after 6 glasses of wine and stubling home at 1:00am (thankfully she is only about a block away) I didn't wake up with a hangover. Just a grumpy husband. Watching the kids by himself has that effect on him.


My in-laws are coming! I need to hit the guest room with the Dyson (I love it! I sleep with it when Jeff is out of town!). And a shovel for all of my paper clutter. And a garbage bag...for all the garbage. :)
