After a quick bath Kaiden was back to party time... chatting with uncle John. I made Connor and Ryan twin stuffed monsters, only one had 2 green eyes
and the other a blue and green eye. Ryan chose the blue and green eyed
monster because it reminded him of the Sea Hawks.
The birthday boy, chewing on his new tooth brush. We had a fun party. Happy Birthday my little monster!
The following day (Sunday) Jason left at 5:00am to go out of town for
work for the week. He was gone Sunday 4/19 5:00am - Sunday 4/26
1:00am. I started my new job on Monday 4/20. My first week of
orientation was horrible!! Jason was gone all week, both kids got
sick. Connor was sicker than he's ever been. He ended up missing the
entire week of school! Kaiden was cutting all 4 molars, in pain and
sick. My very first day of orientation I got a call from the school
that Connor was sick. In a panic I was calling anyone I could think of
and finally reached my neighbors across the street (Waylon and Ilona's
parents) and Larry (the dad) and Eley (the Grandpa that lives there)
were able to go pick Connor up from school and bring them to their
house. Connor puked just as they were leaving the school office.
Luckily he never got sick at their house though. I spent all evening in
a panic trying to find someone to watch Connor during the day Tuesday
and Kaiden. My friend Tina, who works from home was able to let Connor
crash on her couch Tuesday and Friday, then he went to my brother John's
on Wednesday and Thursday. Connor spent the first part of the week
puking and second half of the week with diarrhea. Kaiden went to our
flying Irish friend, Kathy's house on Tuesday. She watched him most of
the day and then her sister-in-law Jody (also our flying Irish friend
and Jason's friend/co-worker Bill's wife) came to her house to watch him
for a few hours while Kathy had to leave. Kaiden was able to go back
to daycare for Wednesday - Friday though. OMG it was a horrible week!
Trying to manage my first week of training, which was very intense as
they give you tons of information and send you through computer training
and juggling 2 sick kids... completely on my own since Jason was gone,
and getting no sleep since Kaiden was cutting 4 molars and in pain. Not
fun! On 4/24 Friday Kaiden stood on his own for a long time. On 4/25
his top 2 back molars popped completely through. So, my first week of
training Jason was gone, second week he was home, 3rd week he was gone,
4th week he was gone... not a good start.
