Guitar Man

Time flies! This week we have been very busy and I can't believe tomorrow is Friday already.
Hayden is felling better now. He had roseola. His fever lasted 3 days and then he broke out in a rash all over his whole body. The rash would of freaked me out but the Dr. mentioned that he may get a rash because his fever was not accompanied by other symptoms.
This past weekend our friend Lomen came to visit. We had a great laughter filled weekend! Like always! Lomen played Joey's guitar all weekend and Hayden LOVED it! We all sang and acted like dorks all weekend and it was a blast. Hayden LOVES music and thought it was pretty cool to have his own personal concert all weekend. He even played a few tunes on the guitar himself.
We got a lot accomplished last weekend as well. We split the rental of a carpet cleaner with our neighbor and cleaned all of our carpets and rugs. We had to rearrange all of the furniture so our house seemed like a mess all weekend, but it felt great to get that task marked off of our list!
Monday Hayden had PDO. I was nervous since he missed the last 2 weeks, but he mad it the 4 hours! He cried when I left, but stopped shortly after I was gone. They said he had a much better day today and that made me feel good! I was stressing about it on Sunday night because I don't "have" to take him there and was feeling bad putting him through all of that stress, but it truly is good for him to be around other adults and children. It is a great break for me as well! I get a lot done in those 4 hours!
Tuesday we had MOPS. We made a get ready for bed chart that Hayden can use when he gets older. We also had a lady speak about organization. She had some great tips. Hayden did ok in the nursery. He had the 2 older gentlemen wrapped around his finger and somehow convinced them that they need to hold them the 2 hours we are there. When I dropped him off he was picked up right away by his friend, and when I picked him up he was getting rocked by his other friend.
Wednesday we had music class. It is neat to see how he is progressing and participating more as he gets older. He sings la la la and claps during the opening song. He also loves the drums and resonator bars. He grabs a hold of the mallets and beats on those things!
Today we went to Waterloo to pick up some things from Matt's parents we left in Minnesota and to visit Grandma Paricka. We met Grandma at TJ MAXX and she took Hayden and I had the rest of the afternoon to run errands! It was great. I even got to try on clothes and not be rushed.
Tomorrow I have a mother's night out with my MOPS table. Saturday we have a Halloween party to go to if we get costumes together. Sunday we have a kids Halloween party at a friends house. We are hoping to get some more things checked off our list on the home front this weekend as well!
