Back to the ER

Whew. It's been one heck of a weekend.
After the broken toe incident on Friday, we were back at the ER with the Kid on Sunday morning. He woke up and said his head was itchy. So he took a shower and hopefully washed whatever itchy gel that may have been lingering (I can NOT wait to get a bathtub!) and about an hour later I touched the back of his head and he had a lump. Not a 'just bumped my head' bump, but like a something is under the skin bump. So the Hubby does what he does best and freaks out. So I take the Kid to the ER alone. Hubby is no help when he starts asking all kinds of scary questions and freak out the Kid. Plus if there was any chance he may get a shot, Hubby would have left the room anyway and been no help. So I left broken toe home.
They said it is most likely swollen glands. He gave us a script for an antibiotic in case it is infected, and it seems to be getting a bit smaller and better now. But the Kid was itching the back of his head in his sleep last night. So we are going to a new pediatrician (finally) on Thurs to follow up and see if he wants us to check out a dermatologist or what to do next.

After we got back from the ER my gram and I started putting together dinner and making cupcakes. Then we went over to my MIL to see the family. The Kid loves to see his aunt & uncle over on that side that he doesn't get to see often. Then we came home and my mom came over and we had a nice dinner.
I didn't get my breakfast in bed or pampering all day, but it was a nice day with our family.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow! My celebration started last Wednesday at the Kid's school. They had a Mother's Day Tea planned that they have been working on for weeks. We all dressed up and wore party hats and we weren't allowed to move while all our kids served us. They started out with a little show.

Gimmie an M! M!

Gimmie an O! O!

Gimmie an M! M!

What's that spell? MOM!!!

They moved into "I'm a Little Teapot" and it was just SO adorable.

It was a strawberry and pineapple tea party (that's what they served) and the place mats were strawberry shaped with our names on them. We got a card with how much he loved me written on the inside.

"I love her as high as a giant!"

We also got a heart shaped 'pin' that was made out of cookie and I think it was shellacked or something. He colored on it and it will be with me forever. We also got a strawberry plant!

He was wearing his little 'detective' blazer that he loves to wear.

I also got a drawing of me with a description that he told his teacher one day. On it was:

My Special Mother

My Mom likes to cook "Daddy Pasta!" It is a little pasta...it has holes in it! She likes to shop a lot. She shops at Shop Rite. I go to the Scrunchy Play House. She buys me eggs. Together we watch TV and we play together. Her favorite color is red. I love her 5 Big Times!

We really didn't have tea, but we had a delicious punch! And the cutest thing was that all the kids served us and cleaned up after us. We weren't allowed to get up. There were cookies, strawberries and pineapples.

This was after bringing me a whole handful of strawberries.

At the end, all the kids went to get their totes and the mommies went to bring everything to the car. When we came back to get them we got another surprise. A laminated card with his hand prints on it covering an adorable picture 'peak a boo' style over top. Precious.

All the mommies got to wear party hats and the Kid stole mine.

Next year his teacher is going to have a lot to live up to. Thank you Mrs. C. You are the BEST first teacher my son could have had! You just made my day.
