Back to School

Noah finally made it back to school today! No fever yesterday and none today. I am so glad that we appear to be over this nasty bug. His teacher and his aide both said that he had a really good day today, one of his best so far! I was really glad to hear that. I was worried that he would have a rough day after missing so many and getting out of his routine, but it appears that he did well. He did have one incident report becaus he threw himself on the floor in front of the door and cried because he wanted his "Mama". I'm not sure whether to cry or jump for joy! LOL Up until he started school, Noah never seemed to care whether I was around or not. Now he cries when I leave him at school. It's kind of nice to know that he does want me around.

Noah had a really cruddy day yesterday. Noah's pediatrican wanted him to have some bloodwork and a chest x-ray because he had been running a fever for so long. So we went to the hospital and Noah did really well for the x-ray. Poor baby had a horrible time when it came to getting his blood drawn. After trying both arms, they resorted to pricking two of his fingers and trying to get enough that way. It was really cute though. Noah kept saying, "I'm all done doctor". When they put the bandaid on his arm, Noah said "Oh, Thank You". It was so sweet. They were really nice to him and got a laugh out of how quickly he went from crying to laughing. They also gave him loads of stickers, a coloring book and a box of crayons.

Today has been much better. He seems really happy and has been playing. Tomorrow we have school and physical therapy. That should be fun!

So glad your little guy is feeling better...Oh how I hate when they need blood work! Sometimes I don't know if it is harder on me or my little one..
I think it's great he's crying for his mama! Well-not that he's crying...but because he is letting you know how important you are AND he is letting his needs be known, how wonderful is that?
