Whew!

Wow, my last week was crazy! I was sicker then a dog and completely miserable! I have no idea how I made it through last week. Dave went out of town from Wed-Thursday night and it was about that time that I was at my worst. It was awful. I could not breath, could barely move..I was just dying! The doctor said it was a viral infection and that it will take up to 2 weeks to get over. dang! That is a long freaking time.

Anyway, I am a bit better but not 100%. (not even close to 100%)

I have a few more things I want to document about Scott before I forget. I want to have all of this written down so when I look back in a few years, I remember how old he was when he did certain things. I thought I would always remember when he was little and I have completely forgotten. It kills me. I have some of it written in my other blog and I am so thankful! I just think it is fun to have down for the future.

When I had knee surgery in December of last year, Scott was 3 1/2 years old. I remember sitting down with him and introducing math. He could add and subtract at that point so I wanted to teach him the addition sign and the subtraction sign. We sat down and I would write things like 3 5 = 8 I would then ask him what sign would go in the middle and he would tell me the addition sign. Then we would do something like this 4+ __ = 9. He would then fill in the blank. We did this a lot of different ways and it was so cool! He could also count to 100 by 2's, 3's etc etc. I just wanted to make sure I wrote it down. We were doing math during church yesterday and I was trying to remember when this all started. He is up to 4th grade math but only in addition. We need to go back a little bit and work on the other stuff. He can add this kind of thing together now

We are starting to print out multiplication etc to start him into that. He really loves math. He told his teacher at Thanksgiving he was thankful for it over his family. Nice!

Now, about Anna! I think she is the freaking cutest little thing ever. I am LOVING dressing her up. Especially for the holidays. I think we have an outfit for almost every day of the week until Christmas. It is insane! I am having so much fun. Her hair is growing and she has some curls and it looks so cute with a bow. I am dying. She loves playing babies and doing tea parties! I am so excited that she is into imagination. It is so fun! I never got to do this with Scott and it make sme so happy! Another thing cracks me up about her. She doesn't know her colors. Every time you ask her what color something is, it is green. I always laugh.

At this time, Anna can tell you what the shapes are and she can count to 14. Once she gets to 14 she keeps counting but saying everything is 14. It is cute. I have no idea what is good or bad but I think she is so cute when she does these things. She does love her shapes!

Today I get my stitches out finally! I was suppose to get them out last week but I was too sick to get there. It is going to hurt like hell because it has been a month since surgery! I can't believe it. I feel so much better. I am trying to be so careful. I feel tons better one month out now then I did 1 year out last time. That just pisses me off that I had to do this again. I want to run soooo bad. I can not wait to start!

I started WW again...but I got sick and stopped eating. Now I want to eat everything. It is a sick cycle.
