Holiday

First off, I would like to say, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I woke up early to go do a 5K Turkey Trot, then headed off to work. I stayed at the office for a couple of hours, then made a beeline for home. During my morning adventures my husband and our friends were getting the goodies prepared for lunch. I made Bread Pudding and Broccoli Casserole the night before. We did a fried turkey and it was surprisingly tasty. The little munchkin had his first Thanksgiving feast! His favorite part was the pistachio pudding with pineapples and marshmallows (don't worry I didn't let him indulge too much). I am not surprised though, if that boy is anything like his momma he will have a mouth full of sweet-tooth's :) I cannot wait for his first birthday on December 16th. It is going to be so much fun.

It's early, but my 1.5 year old is interested in interacting with it. He got a little wierded out about sitting on it after he sat funny on the splash guard, which made me glad we got this one and not one with a hard plastic splash guard. I think as he becomes more ready to potty train this will be an excellent choice of potty.

Sherlock Who?

Let's just start out with the fact that detective work takes too much brain power for me. My poor son broke out in hives a couple of weekends ago, and I am stumped as to what could be the cause. I took him to the Dr. on Wednesday and had to sit through the grueling process of him getting blood drawn. *Tears* I think he is still mad at me. I didn't hear anything before the weekend hit and come Monday, I find out that the tests all came back negative for allergies. What?!? I thought it might be blueberries, but he's had those before with no reaction. That is the only thing that changed. I don't want to give him another rash/reaction so I am not sure if I want to really test my blueberry theory (even though the tests show he shouldn't react). My husband and I also think he could have found a nasty creature on the floor (i.e. a dead bug) and eaten that. He is getting around pretty good by now, and puts any and everything in his mouth. Usually bugs die in the house because of poison, right? I guess it makes sense if he ate a dead bug, he could have been reacting the insecticide or whatever else gross the creature was harboring. Please universe, give me an answer.... and tell me my son isn't eating bugs, Yuck.
