Lucas is now feeling just about all the way well, thank goodness. Just in time for a busy weekend!
Faith and the girls hopefully touched down without incident this morning and we will be on our way to gramma-gramma's as soon as we can to see them and squish baby fat, can hardly wait! : )
Tomorrow we have a bday party for my friend Linda's oldest daughter Nicole and Sunday my dad will be coming out to see the grandbabies in the morning followed by the get together at my mom's to visit with Noah and Livi, and Bridget. Lots of fun people to visit this weekend.
Not to mention Alyssa will be spending the weekend with us, so Lucas is thrilled times 3, he loves all his fans and esp having Alyssa and Olivia together, and I will get some peace becasue he will leave me alone in favor of them! Bonus!
Bowling league week 2 was awesome. Lucas got a strike and a spare, there was no hyping the kids up this week, no meltdowns, and no confusion over switching lanes, the boys acted like they had been doing this forever. They were just so excited to see each other, since Lucas missed school last week. he told me "Carter is my best friend and I can't wait to see him at the bowling alley". So cute!

Getting better
Lucas is very slowly improving. I wish it were faster. He missed 'water day' at school today and I hope he is well enough for bowling tomorrow evening.
He has been taking 3 hour naps and being exceptionally sweet and docile, thats how you know my baby angel is sick.
I am actually hoping (be careful what you wish for) that tomorrow he will be ornery and evil, then I will know he is close to all the way well again.
His coughing has slowed down a LOT. It still sounds rough when he does cough, but the frequency is much less severe. His droopy red drippy eyes looked better this morning, and although he is still running a low grade fever off and on, it gets lower each time he gets it.
his biggest complaint is his stuffy icky nose, but since he refuses to blow it anywhere near as often as he should, its gonna take a few days to see an improvement there.
Poor kid, this one got him good, and its not welcome here anymore : (

Its supposed to be summer
Well, the weather is acting like it, the germs are not dying as quickly as they should.
My poor baby who started coughing again out of the blue 2 weeks ago got progressively worse over the weekend. To the point where its was all he could do was cough, and he started getting stuffy.
Went to the dr yesterday since its out of hand. She says sinus infection and gave him some Augmentin. After okaying some cough syrup that costs 10.00 a bottle, Delsym, and me spending 45 min in the pharmacy to get it all filled and bought, Lucas wanted Old Mcdonalds, and of course I was not going to tell my sweet sick baby no after he was so good at the dr's and the pharmacy
of course 2 hours later, long after taking cough medicine that obviously did NOT work and his 1st antibiotic round, the poor kid coughed so hard he puked up his whole dinner, whcih was the most food he had eaten in days. he cannot win for losing. Shortly after the fever came.
Motrin broke the 100.4 fever and a nice vapor bath helped, we still slept too restlessly last night, and are very tired.
Today gramma-gramma said she wanted to keep him so I could go to work. If I had stayed home I would not have gotten paid. Larry is leaving work early to get him and will stay home with him tomorrow if he is not well enough to go to school.
I personally do not think he will be quite up for school tomorrow, and I want him to just keep getting better so we can enjoy our time with Faith, Michaela and Morgan this weekend and next week

Bumper bowling league now, pro bowling leagues in their future
The boys had an absolute blast with each other at their first bumper bowling day. In their matching shirts and Spider Man and Star Wars balls, they bowled well. Carter has fantastic form, Lucas drops that ball on the lane like nobody's business. he got a 64 the first game and a 59 the 2nd game, it will be a fun 10 weeks if we can keep them motivated. At times they were more interested in the popcorn, but they made it thru

Summer finally arrived
In Cleveland you never quite know when summer will begin, sometimes in April, sometimes not til July, but weather has been nice the past week, so its a good sign.
Tomorrow Lucas is set to start in his bumper bowling league with Carter. Melissa got them matching embroidered bowling shirts and OMG, way too cute, pics will come of course. Lucas is very excited!!
Last week we went to our first Indians game of the season ans a family, where Lucas got to eat cotton candy for dinner, and sty up til almost midnight, we had fun, but the next day was rough : )
And Lucas got some roller skates, that he loves, already trying to do stunts on them and he can barely even balance himself, he is such a BOY!
here's to the beginning of summer fun!

My sweet, sweet boy
My boy LOVES his mommy.
Last night I had THE worst migraine I ever had in my life, never had I remembered being in so much pain, the kind of pain where I thought I must be dying and wished it would happen quick and put me out of my misery.
But as soon as I got home and went for some ice, Lucas took the washcloth with ice and said " Come here mommy, it will be okay, let me put the ice on your head, you will feel better"
And as we layed down together in bed, he told me " its okay mommy, Lucas is here, its going to be alright" as he kissed my cheek and forehead. Then he said " I am so sorry you have a headache"
He can be the sweetest boy in the world, I love that kid more than anything in the whole world. I am a lucky mommy.

Waiting for summer
Since it is the middle of JUNE. the weather this week has been pretty crappy, and Lucas now has his cough back. I had not given him a breathing treatment in almost 3 mos. Tues morning he woke up hacking, and has been ever since, but thankfully not showing any other signs of being actually ill, so thats good I suppose.
Last Sat evening, Lucas got the tiny holes drilled into his bowling ball and his name put on it. he is in love with it, so proud. Bumper bowling starts next thursday, June 18th, cannot wait!
Now maybe the weather will be consistently nicer and the allergy/cold stuff will go away at least til fall, and we can settle into our busy summer, getting in as much fun as we can.
Lots of stuff planned, trips to Kiddie Park, Faith and the girls are coming, swimming, bowling, camping and a yeard sale, we are having a yard sale in july, gotta get rid of all that stuff we don't need : )

Rock n Roll
That is Lucas's newest fave phrase. "Lets rock n roll"!
He also likes his dad's rock n roll, which consists mainly of 80's big hair bands. I can only tolerate it so much, but Lucas thinks its great.
Of course we all know he is a Pink fan, and he has also recently beocme a huge old school 90's fan with Roxette's "She's got the Look"
Any song that is Justin Timberlake or Lady Gaga on the radio is now 'his song' and anything slow tempo is 'my song'
Is he trying to tell me he alreadyt hinks I am too old for fast paced dance music?? Hmmmm

Bad mommy
I had a really bad mommy moment yesterday.
Lucas and I had just gotten back from the library, and I was helping him out of his carseat, when, all at the same time, I locked the doors, and went to slam shut the front passenger door that had been open to get Lucas's borrowed Dora and Diego dvd's out (Dora and Diego are my new best friends cause he is so enthralled by them all of a sudden)At the same time, he spotted the pop in my front cup holder form earlier he wanted, and as I flung the door shut, he put his hand in front of it to stop it, I saw what was happeneing, but it was so fast that as I grabbed the door handle, it was already shut and locked, on his hand.
He starts screaming, I start screaming, as I toss all I was holding to the ground and hurry to get the keys back out of my purse, to unlock the doors. it all took seconds, but felt like an eternity. he was crying, I was shaking, imagining all kinds of blood, broken bones, going to the ER. Luckily the hand was FINE, not a blemish on it. I am shocked and amazed and in between telling Lucas how sorry I was for getting his hand caught and telling him to move his fingers for me , I was yelling, "what the heck did you put your hand there for!!!!!!"
When he calmed down, he told me he wanted to get the pop and that was why he tried to stop the door, I told him all he had to do was ask.
Larry was in the house, never heard a thing that was going on outside, and when we walked inside, me still shaking, him drinking the pop he said " Now tell daddy what you did"
Nice

He must have been Asian in a former life
Most kids would name their characters/animals/dinosaurs somehting semi-normal. Like Bob, Joe, Ted, or a family or friend's name from school, Luke, Carter, Anthony, Liam, or even someone from a favorite movie or tv show, Spongebob, Diego, Lightning Mcqueen, well, you get the point.
Not Lucas, they all have Chinese/Japanese names, such as Jing-Jing, Hini-honee, or Shin-Han
He has not been, to my knowledge, watching any kung fu movies, but this is what he names his animals when asked what he calls them.
Only Lucas : )

Tattoos and Progress Reports
Yep, that's all that is new this week. After Lucas had his Thomas tattoos on last weekend, and did not want me to wash them, ever, he finally for the first time noticed my tattoos. Now he wants to know when he can get him some of those ones that 'stay on".
I told him when he was 18 and a grown up he could have as many tattoos as he wanted. Oh and a motorcycle, cause he wants to know when he can get one of those as well : ) he is such a BOY.
I got Lucas's Progress Report this morning from school and it was excellent, glowing, actually : ) I am a proud mommy today. They said he is a joy to have in class and he is always enthusiastic and smiling and ready for any activity they have planned, and its contagious, he gets his friends excited as well, and he loves playing with his friends. Such a far cry form the sullen, almost in tears boy that strangles me as I try to leave each morning, like I have just sent him to the orphanage. They all tell me he instantly changes the second I walk out the door, and I know he does, he is an actor. I have his number.
But he is cute, so I will keep him.
