Overtired because of roseola

By the time I get picked up, brought home, eat dinner, and take a bath, I am beyond tired. I am overtired. This roseola just drains me of my energy and my normal good-natured mood. I’m fussier and more irritable. And it is not a good look for me. Some red spots have moved to […]

Eating on my own

When possible, I like to eat on my own. I like to decide how much I eat and at what speed. So when we have things I can eat with my hands, like bread, I’m very happy! I’m really good at ripping the bread into small bite-sized pieces or tearing off pieces by biting.

Not the birthday boy

We had a birthday party for a couple of my classmates. This is what I look like when I’m not the center of attention.

So tired because of roseola

I’m so tired that I needed a morning nap before I went to school. I even woke up later than usual because of my roseola. I was still in a pretty good mood, ate well, and played a lot, but run down. Being run down and uncomfortable can make me irritable. Last night during my

Fussy because of roseola

My teachers at nursery school noticed that I was not my usual happy self. I was fussier than usual. Even during our walk, which I usually love, I was fussing here and there. I don’t know what is going on with these red dots all over me, but they sure are making me tired and

Clapping to music

Nowadays I like to clap along to music! I can feel the rhythm and it is fun to join in the music! I was clapping along happily until I sensed that Daddy was taking a video so I stopped and wandered over to him instead. I’m sure he’ll get a video of me clapping sometime,

Fever is gone…but I got roseola

I woke up today without any fever. My temperature was back to normal and everyone was happy! But when Daddy was feeding me breakfast he noticed a few red dots around my mouth. Mommy checked my chest and belly and sure enough they were covered with tiny red dots. Roseola, sometimes referred to as “baby

Helping Daddy with his socks

Daddy always helps me put my socks on so I thought I would be nice and help him put his socks on too. Easier said than done. I couldn’t get the socks on his feet, but I was able to place them on his feet. It is harder than it looks. I guess that’s why

Smashing ladybugs

One of my favorite books is Ten Little Ladybugs. I like how the lady bugs look real on the page. So real sometimes that I think there are real bugs in my book and I have to smash them. Mason smash bugs!!!

Feeding myself

Spoon in hand, check. Food in mouth, check. Full stomach in the end, check. Well, I guess I did a pretty good job of feeding myself. Take a look:

Helping(?) Daddy brush his teeth

Helping Daddy brush his teeth has become a part of our morning routine. I’ll tell Daddy it is time to brush his teeth by calling him and then pointing toward the bathroom. When we get there I’ll point to his toothbrush and let him get everything ready. Then it is time to brush. To tell

Lingering fever

I woke up feeling much better, but according to my temperature, I still have a fever. It is 38.1°C (100.6°F), which isn’t too bad, but high enough to keep me home from school. To be honest, even though I’m feeling much better, I’m still not fully recovered. I had to take an early morning nap

Watermelon

I tried watermelon for the first time today. It was…watery. It was very different from the other fruits I have been eating. I can’t say that I loved it, but it was okay. The texture was different and it was only subtly sweet, not like other fruits. And of course likeI said, it was watery.

Feeling a bit better with my fever

I still have my fever, but I’m feeling a bit better. I’m still run down and a little uncomfortable, but I was able to spend a day very similar to my normal weekend. I ate well and played well. I slept well too. Then I ate well and played well again. Overall, I was a

Another fever

I woke up with another fever today. It was 38.5°C (101.3°F). I was hoping not to get a fever this month like I have every month since I started nursery school. But here we are, the first weekend of June and I already have a fever. I went to the doctor and was told it

Reading a book silently

Just because I can read my part of my book aloud, doesn’t mean I will read it aloud when asked. Sometimes I just like to read it to myself silently.

Park: Mat and ball

We had a nice time at the park. It was ball day again! The older kids were running around with the balls, while my class sat nicely and played with the balls that we were given. It was comfortable and relaxing. Still, I can’t wait until I can run around like that!

Daddy’s hat

I usually don’t like to where hats. I’ll pull them off once they are put on my head. But when it is a very sunny day like today, I’ll put up with the hat if it means I’m a little cooler. Unfortunately, my hat is too small for my head now, so I had to
