We've got the Pox

Add caption

Chicken Pox that is!  I'm not winning mother of the year this year since i was lucky enough to get shingles, and unfortunately since i didn't know what they were for the first week I gave them to Tess in the form of Chicken Pox!

This was day one notice cute little tiny bumps.

Day four red and yucky!

The Dr. I saw said he hasn't seen them in years and actually said i was lucky to get an old guy because some of the Drs. probably have never seen them.  He was amazed at how well she was doing with them, no fever or general sickness that can come along with them.  That was Saturday day one pretty much, now day 4 are no longer new little red bumps, they are turning into swelling some scabbing and looking painful bumps all over.  Poor girl!  
He actually told me that we aren't contagious to anyone over the age of one, since we all get our vacines at 12 months and that since she's not exactly interacting with other babies at this point not to be worried about spreading them, but really who is leaving the house for a playdate with a girl covered in Chicken Pox!!!  We're home bound!

Her poor eye!

Jake still likes chill'in with his sister!

She had a few rough nights where she didn't want to sleep or go to sleep, but now she just hates getting changed.  Since it aggravates the bumps!  Last night she did sleep though, only waking up twice to eat and went back to sleep afterwards - progress!  The worst thing is that they cover, i mean cover her bottom.  They are also all over her head in her hair and one ear, on both corners of one eye.  Again poor thing!  Yet as you can see she is still a smiley happy baby 70% of the time!

I want!

Ahh the little boys dreams, ever since this hockey match a few weeks ago against daddy in the drive way Jake is constantly telling me that he wants to go to the store and get a big hockey stick, and that when he gets big he's going to skate on the ice!  Oh the future!

Last week we saw the zellers and boy did Tess and Miles get along!  I see lots of mischief going on with these two,  Just look how silly they are!

And speaking of silly, look what jake decided was a good idea the other day!  We were playing grocery store and of course had to put Tess in the cart, since that is where she usually rides, and when there was a break in shopping jake took a few minutes and "cut" her hair!   Oh the fun days we have!

Crazy Jake

The last 2 weeks Jake is finding new ways to be crazy and i just had to share a few stories.

Last week when Chris was outside shoveling before work at you know 6am or so, he turned around and there was jake standing in his PJ's outside just looking at him like oh there you are!  Note to self install a dead bolt and use it so child doesn't leave the house before the sun rises by himself!

Jake love his step stool and carries it around the house sometimes to turn the lights on.  He was doing this one morning when i went in to dry my hair, when I popped my head out to see how he was doing, he was standing on his step stool on top of my bed!  He had thrown it on the bed and then was trying to balance on top of the stool on the bed and reach the ceiling fan!

Making Red Velvet cup cakes!  Don't turn your back to get a spatula Jake'll get it!

Yesterday we went back in time and i found him in the bathroom and had just gotten done unrolling the toilet paper roll.  On the upside he also had just learned to take his pants and diaper off and poop in the potty all by himself.  And today when we had 3 friends over for a play date one of the boys decided since we were telling this story that he had to go poop, so Jake of course says me too.  I of course don't believe him so i say if you have to go, then go ahead an use mommy's potty, assuming of course he wasn't really going to i help the other little boy and his mommy and then go check on jake and he had in fact gone poop and of course unrolled that roll of TP Too!  So silly i had to laugh at the whole situation!  Gottta love the little laughs in life to get you through the scary parts right!
