Easton Stuff

Easton started going to the UVU Wee Care Center last week for daycare. It about broke my heart. I just have one class for this block for 2 hours every morning and it was too big a hassle to meet one of our moms, then get him back, then meet a mom again so I could go to work all in the same day. I don't know how so many moms do it! The first time I walked away from that place leaving my son with total strangers I felt terrible! The good news is, Easton loves it. He loves playing with other kids. The teachers say he is so good. They said last week he saw one of the teachers cleaning up and he stopped what he was doing and helped them clean up the whole room. They were very impressed that he put all of the balls, dinosaurs, blocks, etc... in their own bins and remembered where they go. I always knew he was smart. So one of my sisters watches him Mondays, he goes to daycare Tuesdays and Thursdays, and we have some cute young women who live below us that come play with him on Wednesdays. Somehow it always works out.

So after I pick him up from daycare, I generally try to plan something fun for us to do together like going to the library or for a picnic before I have to go to work. It helps with the guiltiness. Here's some pictures of our picnic.

The other day I left a chair pulled up to the kitchen counter. Easton climbed up there and when I came in I saw this innocent face.

Then I saw some gooey greasy hands.

He decided to spread butter all over uncle Danny's beloved bananas.

And demolish the butter in the process.

But he sure is cute. Last Saturday while watching fireworks I noticed Easton had a few bug bites. Two were just normal mosquito bites, but one was really swollen. Sometimes my mosquito bites swell up so I didn't think much of it. Yesterday when he got out of the tub I noticed it was bigger than ever with a squiggly red line around the edge. I knew right away that it looked like a staph infection and Tyson agreed. So I took him to the instacare and I was right!

They traced a circle around it at the instacare so that we can monitor its growth. This is from today and it actually looks a lot better as far as redness and swelling since he's had 3 doses of the antibiotic. But it has expanded past the circle a little bit. If it hasn't gotten within the circle by tomorrow he has to go have some nasty shots! I knew if a staph infection gets to your heart you're toast, but the Dr. assured me it was caught in plenty of time. So we just keep watching and re-tracing the circle. And now Easton thinks you draw circles around all your owies. Haha.
