A Month of Illness and Connection

Jayden and I were blessed in and odd way this past month. We got to spend a lot of time together because he has been fighting some type of illness for the past month or so. Even now as I am typing this Jayden has been battling vomit and diarrhea. He got up at 5 this morning after throwing up twice in bed. Last month he had to fight off pneumonia, and a cold. He has had steroids and anti-biotic's for a while.

But it did give us time to hang out. It was fun, most of the time. He was even willing to stay inside which means that he knew he was sick.

The two nights that were the worst was when Jayden woke up to the point of coughing and throwing up pure phlegm. I had him in the shower all night and then we watched cars at 4 in the morning. Jayden was a trooper through the whole time and even started to like the meds. He also got his first x-ray.. which of course was not very easy with my very active son.

Jayden and I played a lot of Thomas the train and Geo-Tracks. We set up the Hot wheels set and found out that the Shelby GT was the fastest car.

He also has develop a great relationship with one of his teachers a Ms Tara who does his hair and I must say, he looks very sharp. I believe that he is the stud bad boy of the class and the girls of the class like to hang with him. That is how he rolls. He did get a lot of Valentines from them.

Jayden is still growing and his vocabulary is expanding all the time. One time we were leaving Red Robin and Jayden saw something and My father commented on it and he say "huh, that is weird" (an Alison Statement), He has also told me to "hold on" which is totally me.

He know azul is blue and Rojo is red. He can tell time a little as he knows what 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 2, 3 and 1 are by looking at them. (he for some reason does not like to regognize the number 4). And sometimes you can even get him to count to 25.

But Jayden is still Jayden and if you ask him a question he deems insignificant he will ignore it.

Also, kudos to Jayden as he is now playing with Kallee... yea!. Though he still will not share his trains with her.
