A few cute things I’ve heard Kellar say…
I yud yoo ( I love you, this is by far my favorite and it melts my heart everytime)..I have idea…Give my colors back…Stop it mom…Go tee-tee again…More tee-tee mom…I watch Bues Coos on dat big tb ( I watch Blues Clues on the big tv)…I wuntttt Nemo froot snacks ( I want Nemo fruit snacks)…Want froot rold dup..( Want fruit roll up )…Nudder froot rold dup ( Another fruit roll up )..Scooze me ( This is the cutest, if he burps he’ll say scooze me, which is excuse me)…Moob mom ( Move mom )…Sheeee’s sooooo cute ( followed by the cutest grin and giggle..) Brrrr wabbit I freezin…Go Wammart ( Wal-Mart )…Go Target…Go shoppin…Watch Max and Wooby please…( Max and Ruby ) Mommmm notty nose…( snotty nose )…Wow…That’s sooo kewl..( cool ) It’s delicious..Yummmmm…While getting out of the shower he lays down in the tub and tells me “hide and seek” and starts counting, hilarious. He loves to stand on the bed w/a towel over his head and say “where’s Kellar” I love my kid so much.. I am so proud of Kellars talking, he amazes me with stuff that comes out of his mouth, sure he’s still talking like a 2 year old, his words are not just plain but the st that evaluated him said that at this age that is normal and to be expected. He’s so funny, he’ll say something and Joey and I both look at each other and just laugh which in turn makes him get tickled. If he hears someone say they have to go potty, he’ll say that they are going to poo-poo. He is really into telling everyone no, for now it’s cute but I have a feeling I’m going to be hearing it a awful lot and eventually the cuteness will wear off. These are just a few things that I’ve heard in the last few days and wanted to share!
Just because it’s nice outside..
Doesn’t mean I need to let Kellar go out and play (making mental note to myself ). I know I’ve said a zillion times how much Kellar loves being outside and honestly he doesn’t get to go out and play very often, it’s either too hot, he’s gotta runny nose, he’s gotta cough or it’s too cold. We are having some unusual weather to say the least, running the heater one day and the air conditioner the next. I let Kellar got out Thursday and Friday and now he’s sick. Friday evening he started to stop up and was doing lots of mouth breathing and within a few hours of falling asleep he started running a temp. I went to move him to the bed and he was burning up, I took his temp and it was 103.2 so I gave him some motrin and figured it would be going down within a hour or so. I rechecked at a hour and it had gone to 103.4, not to much of a difference but I’d rather it had dropped. I called our pedi and waited for a nurse from Little Rock to call back, yeah I’m not sure why a nurse that is 2 1/2 hrs away is the one that calls back but then again I’m not sure of a lot of things. I waited what seemed like an eternity on them to return my call, in the meantime Kellar had started doing that jerking/shaking thing he does when he runs a temp. I can not even begin to put into words how this gets to me, one part of me wants to run out the door and throw him in the car and head to the er, the other part of me wants to puke b/c it scares me to see him doing this when his fever gets high. It’s not a convulsion jerk or anything, it’s almost like something has shocked him, he’ll make this noise like if someone sneaks up on you and they startle you, that’s what it sounds like then he’ll start crying and want me to hold him. I finally called my mom and dad to come to the house ( by now it’s 3 am ) so I could take him to the er since I hadn’t heard from LR yet. I went ahead and put in another call and she called about 15 mintues later, I explained what was going on and that it had been going on 4 hrs and I couldn’t get his fever to break. We sent my dad for some tylenol so we could alternate tylenol and motrin and around 5 or so he started to sweat so I knew it was coming down. Yesterday he played all day, I was surprised considering the yucky night he had so I kind of thought maybe he was better till he jumped this morning a little after 6, yep burning up again. I am going to take him to see his pedi tomorrow, I’m thinking he’s gotta sinus infection b/c he’s gotta lotta yellow/green drainage and he’s been messing with his ear some. Maybe I should just keep him in till spring!
My lil toughy..
I’d be willing to bet I have one of the toughest little boys around. Kellar sometimes amazes me at how well he handles pain, I’m not sure where he got it from because I hate it! I have watched Kellar fall and by all rights he should have gotten up screaming like a banshee but he didn’t. Today was a rather nice day outside, well if you call 70 the end of January nice then yep it was nice outside, but if you prefer winter to actually feel like winter then it was rather confusing. I myself prefer cold weather and could stand to wait till May to take the kids out to play when it’s supposed to feel like summer, but anyways. Kellar was running chasing bubbles and he fell onto a stick and it jammed into his palm and part of it broke off in him. I would have never knew it happened had I not made a mad dash over to see if he was alright from falling, I picked him up and he held his hand out and I seen blood on his palm, looked down and seen the stick sticking up and knew instantly what happened. I picked him up and naturally I’m panicking, I’m sure my mom thought he had a tree branch protruding from his palm the way I was hollering. He never cried about it and in fact he was more concerned about chasing the bubbles than anything. I was done with being outside, we went in and I cleaned it out and figured there was no way I was going to try and get it out, my mom attempted and that he didn’t like one bit, I was queezy. I took him out to the shop and let papaw look at it and he said he could get it out, so I went and got tweezers * yes we sterilized them * and he sat on papaws lap and let him pull it out then off on the four wheeler they went. Kellar loves being outside, he loves being a rough and tumble little boy. We took his little four wheeler outside and I look over and he’s trying to ramp off a tree stump, then he runs it into a rake that my dad had propped up on the porch and he kept gassing it *it’s electric but you get the point * and it was like trying to climb the rake, it was hilarious. He loves to get on his ride on toys and put them up on steps, yes it scares me and yes I make him get down but seeing him do all these things is just amazing to me. I watched Kellar playing with the bubbles today and his hand/eye coordination is off still so we’re going to be doing lots of things where he has to try and put something into something and I’d really like to see him jumping before long. I was watching the other kids today jump off of our back porch, they just do it with ease, no thought to it and Kellar was watching them do it and he wanted to so bad, he would stand there and just stare at them, he’d watch their feet, how they pushed off the porch and landed and he’d stand there and count to 10 and then he’d want to jump like them but he couldn’t. A part of me really felt like crying to see him wanting to do something that the other kids were doing but he couldn’t figure it out so he’d say “jump” and then step off, he was proud of himself as though he had jumped. Guess I’ll add that to my list of worries about school…Kellar Bellar I love you, your my lil tough guy!
2009
I can not believe that I missed blogging about the new year! Kellar and I rang in the new year w/Charlie, Donna and Brookie-poo and we had a blast. Kellar was really unsure about the fireworks at first but quickly became a fan of the ones that you throw on the ground and they pop or you can do like Kellar did and just stomp them, he loved them. It’s hard to believe that 2008 has come and gone, now that I have a little one it seems like the years are just flying by.
We’re still around…
Gosh I don’t think I’ve ever went this long w/out posting updates on my precious little man. Kellar is doing great, his speech is still amazing me daily! I signed some papers for our eci coordinator to send to the school to see if Kellar will qualify for services through the school district. She wants to see Kellar in a class with both mainstreamed children and non-mainstreamed and at least go for half a day. I can not believe that I am already having to think about my little boy and school, I knew this day was coming but it seems like it came around way to soon. I know that Kellar will do fine, he loves other kids and rarely meets a stranger but I’m not sure how well mommy is going to do. I have lots and lots of pictures to go through and maybe Joey will get them uploaded into albums this weekend…
