Life has been busy lately, it seems like the days and nights are just flying by! I've had a few vacations down to see my parents, Jackson always seems to end up sick when we go down there, but it's still nice to go. He loves being there but is find with leaving so it's interesting to me to watch. He's been learning and growing so fast. He knows his colours quite well, his favourite is YELLOW!!! as he screams whenever he sees it. Love it. Problems occur when I do things like wear a purple bra and he sees it, then proceeds to look for it when we are out and about... yeah that's fun :-) But I still think he's doing amazingly well with learning all these things and am sure he's the smartest little boy ever ;-)
Today was a bit difficult. Things were pretty much normal, went to work and all that good stuff. Then I got a phone call from daycare, she never calls. Apparently Jackson fell off the couch at her place and landed on the back of his head. He then threw up, she's a nurse so of course she called me. I was getting my things together to go get him when she called again... he was staring into space and acting dazed. So I got to her place as quickly as possible... and he was fine. He apparently had snapped out of it pretty quickly and was watching the books and playing. I stayed for about an hour or so, watched him start eating lunch, and then left him there. She said he seemed fine and she'd keep an eye on him. Being a nurse, I thought she'd have a better idea of what to watch for, and didn't want to take him to the hospital for observation.
I love having a daycare provider who is a nurse, it is a relief to know he's in good hands. When he was coming out of the staring she did some tests with him, checked his eyes and ears, hand grip, asked him some questions. It was interesting because she did things I never would have thought of. So I am very relieved. I will probably still wake him up when I go up to bed to make sure he's ok, but he seems to be fine now, thank goodness. It was one of those moments when it would be nice to have someone around to lean on, it was stressful for me, worrying, and then relieved that it was all ok.
We've been having a good summer other than the illnesses, and the bumps and bruises. Last week was very hot, but we survived. A trip to the beach made me realize he really needs some swimming lessons, so we'll be signing up for some in September. After that we'll see if it's more swimming or gymnastics. Funny thing, I think he's going to be a dancer. There's a part of one of his videos where the little boy in black tap dances across the screen, well every time Jackson sees it he gets up and stomps his way just like the little boy. It's too cute, and makes me want to sign him up for dance classes! Time will tell I guess.
Still thinking of what to do about number 2, I really want another baby and time is ticking, but I'm trying to focus on money, and getting in shape. I'm still not sure if I want to start trying this fall or wait another year. I am really enjoying Jackson right now, it's nice the two of us, and I know that'll change quite a bit, but I still want that change. So I'll wait for now, and see what happens.
