New foods at sushi

I had fun at the sushi restaurant today. Sure the food was good, but there was also a train in the restaurant. It delivered some of the special order sushi. I had fun watching it zoom around the restaurant even when it wasn’t delivering anything to us. I tried a lot of new food today. […]

Park before doctor

There aren’t many doctor’s clinics that are open on the weekend, so the ones that are, especially pediatrics, are very busy. Our wait before my doctor’s appointment was more than two hours long. Luckily the clinic is located in a shopping complex so there were things to do to keep me busy. There was even

Tired of thermometers

Once of the unpleasant things about being sick is all the thermometers. People are constantly taking my temperature. It is not so bad when it is the contactless ones that you point at your forehead get an instant reading. But the ones under your armpit take a while and I don’t like at all. I

Echo alpaca

Daddy was trying to think of ways to entertain me when he remembered that he had given Mommy an echoing alpaca as a gift. It cracked her up and she was very entertained by it. So Daddy thought maybe I would like it too. He was right.

I can climb up on the chair

Mommy and Daddy are in trouble. I can finally climb up onto the dining table chair. That means that now I have access to everything on the dining table. That surface is the highest surface in the house where Mommy and Daddy used to put things to keep out of my reach. Now everything has

Another sick day park visit

My medicine started working and my fever went down enough for us to go out. When I’m sick, I feel much better out and about than I do cooped up at home. There is fresh air and nice distractions outside. We went to the park again and I had fun on the slide, rockers, and

TGIF, but I’m still sick

I woke up early in the morning crying fiercely. It surprised Mommy and Daddy because I had slept very soundly through the night so far. Daddy picked me up to calm me down and he instantly knew that I wouldn’t be making it to school today. I was burning up and he knew that I

To nursery school and back

Well, I made it to nursery school today! No fever and feeling fine, so I was in the clear. But then I wasn’t. I was still not 100% and had a few tantrums at school. Then I had a pretty high fever so the school called Daddy and then Mommy came to pick me up.

One and a half years old / 18 months old

Watch out world! Here comes 18-month-old Mason! Yes, that’s right, I’m a year and a half now! How time flies. It seems just like yesterday that I was turning 1. But when I look back at how much I’ve grown and developed, it was a very full 6 months. I wasn’t even walking when I

Feeling good enough to go back to school

No fever today. Feeling better and my nose is not running as much. I still have a cough sometimes but not too bad. Maybe I’ll be able to go to school today. I’m not quite my old jolly self, but possible good enough. At least I’m not in a bad mood and throwing tantrums.

Mommy’s home vs. Daddy’s home

We had a bit of a hand off today. Since I was unexpectedly sent home from school, Daddy had to take the morning off from work. But since he already missed a day of work yesterday Mommy came home to watch me in the afternoon. This is how I reacted when Mommy came home vs.

Sick, but good appetite

Although I’m sick and my fever and moodiness has Mommy and Daddy worried, they are relieved that I still have a good appetite. But I’m a little bit more picky with what I want to eat. Sure, I want to eat a lot, but since I have a runny nose, cough and fever, not all

Moody: Clearing the table

Since I’ve been sick, I’ve been a lot more moody. I’ve been disagreeable and throwing tantrums a lot. I think not feeling my best coupled with turning 18 months which is the more common start of terrible twos is making it harder for me to manage my emotions. I overreact a lot when something doesn’t

Drinking a lot of fluids when sick

When you are sick you need a lot of fluids. So I’ve been getting a lot more than my usual barley tea and milk. I’ve been getting some apple juice and electrolyte drinks to keep me hydrated. Being sick is not so bad when you get tasty drinks like this. Yum!

Checking my temperature

We check my temperature every day so that I can be cleared to go to nursery school. But on days when I’m home sick, we check my temperature a lot more than usual. I try to help out and check my own temperature. Hmmm, still a bit high.

Up and down steps outside

I don’t know if it is the fresh air or just the space, but I really enjoy being outside when I’m sick. I’ve been very fussy and throwing some tantrums indoors. But I’m in a very agreeable mood outside, and very busy!

Need for speed

Even though I’m sick, I’m getting tired of staying indoors. I need to get away! So Daddy and I went for a pretend drive.

Crayon close up

When I draw with crayons I have very detailed ambitions which sometimes requires be to get a closeup view of my work.

Sent home (playing hooky?)

I went to nursery school today and couldn’t get pass the entrance. I had a fever so I got sent home. Looking at my face when we got back home Daddy started to wonder if I just made myself get a fever so that I could stay home. Apparently it is called playing hooky.
