the week of little sleep

So after no sleep for Jason via naps that weekend (other than a few minutes in the car) and a LONG night with a feverish boy, he awoke pretty cranky and VERY early. However he had no fever, so we continued on with our day. Walking to/from school, attemted nap (notice I say ATTEMPTED), back to/from school, and then speech.

That night he again ran a high fever of 102.9 with listless behavior and uncontrollable chills for quite a while. Scary stuff.

The next morning I took Tyler to school and made an appointment for Jason. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad, but they again found NO reason for his behavior and/or fever. Lungs clear, ears clear. Fun. The rest of the day was not fun. Rainy day with a cranky boy. And cancelled t-ball due to rain.

Wednesday brought another day of REALLY early rising for Jason and again no nap. In fact I eventually caved and napped WITH him so he'd at least get something. After school was Ty's last day of spring has sprung. That evening we went to have dessert at Cara's for her birthday. Had an interesting conversation regarding Jason and his symptoms/behavior. Unfortunately I had to leave early for a Junior Women's meeting. Fun meeting though chatting with the ladies.

Thursday I had some crazy running around in the morning with my brother Chris and then to take my mom to PT and pick her up. Afterwards Jason was signed up for a storytime at the library. Normally he seems to like storytime, but this proved to be totally evil. He would get upset when kids would LOOK at him so he'd smack his head. Then of course in response they'd stare at him more so he kept just smacking himself on the head until he eventually threw himself on the floor. I took him to the back to try to calm down but it just wasn't working, so we left. Took him home, convinced that he was just purely exhausted, but yet again he refused to nap. Absolutely refused. Good time. Then it was already time to pick up Ty at school. We did the playground after school. Here is Jason with Tyler's friend Gavin's sister.

That night was supposed to be Ty's final t-ball game (in reality we still need to make up Tuesday's cancelled game). My parents as well as Al's mom and John came to watch. Their coach treated them to a trip to Sand Stand for ice cream.

While there I got a call that Al was home from Afghanistan. I was surprised to get that call this early, but glad he's home safe. Unfortunately Tyler was in the midst of his t-ball thing so we decided he would just call the next day.

That evening, after getting the kids to bed, I went to Maria's house for bracelet making for the 24-hr-paddle-a-thon to benefit Charlie. Not sure that we accomplished much, but we had a good time!

Friday morning we had an impromptu park playdate (complete with Jason in his pj's). Then I (gasp) took Ty out of school 30 minutes early for the BBQ at my dad's school. My mom was there as well, happy to see all her students she's been missing. The boys had fun with games, and especially with the Rita's water ice!


On the way home we were driving through the trading post when Jason noticed the sand stand where we had had ice cream the night prior. He immediately starts frantically sign "eat". He may not talk alot, but he can certainly comprehend things and get his point across!

After another attempted (and failed) nap for Jason, we went over to my grandparetns to water plants. Pretty cool that we can say that we are partipating in a 4-generational garden! Too cute to see Jason and his GREAT-grandfather working on their garden!


After an easy dinner we took a trip to the lake. Well folks, it's now tadpole season! Every little boys dream!





That evening, just as Ty was getting ready to head into bed, he got a call from his daddy. He was so happy to have him "home" safely. And more excited that he'll get to see him soon.
