Flooding

I just received an email about the flooding in Nashville, and another for the Opry Hotel. It is craziness. We have been to the Opry Hotel many, many time for Christmas, in fact Mikie stayed there just a few weeks ago for his friends bachelor party. Clarksville is just a few miles down river from Nashville got no media attention at all. This is the town in which I work, which is right next to the river.
We left early on Monday and didn't come in on Tuesday except for 1 person. We had someone who called and called about putting a decal on her car, she was upset there was no one there to do it. Finally they called in a guy just to sit at the body shop and answer the phone, there was no getting here unless you knew the very back way around. Most people wouldn't know how to get here that way, we were surrounded by water, they wouldn't let anyone in the parking lot. If I was here and answering the phone when that lady wanted to come and have something done I'd have told her come on down. It was 2 hour wait to get close to here even if you could go the back way.
School was out for the entire week in most of middle Tennessee. The days I did work I had to send Christopher to daycare. He really does not like to go, he says the other kids are mean. Really who watches these kids, do they send them to the gym and let them beat the crap out of each other. I so wish I had somewhere else to send him for the summer.

More Strep

On April 6th I took the Roo to the doctor. He had strep. He is in the mood to not want to take meds so I had them give him a shot. He cried some not to bad. Afterward he kept saying "they hurt me, mommy they hurt me". It was so precious and sad. At least I'm not fighting him to take the meds for a week. Christopher was on spring break and went with us. He has yet to get the strep, but I told him if he does get it he will also be getting a shot. So he stayed clear of Roo for a while.
We are doing cub scouts. It is crazy and madding. We meet so much Mikie has a cow about it. I have training on Saturday all day long. I don't have to do this stuff, but I like getting to be a part of it.

Strep

I have strep throat. Mandy and Dane have it so I'm guessing that is where I got it from. Christopher and Zack were at mamaw's Saturday night, but they do not have it, they passed it over to me.

Two Year Check Up

Zack had his 2 year check up yesterday. He is 3 feet tall, that's 64% of his class. He weighed 28.5 lbs. that's 43% of his class. He doesn't look that skinny. I do have a hard time getting bluejeans to fit him. 2T's are the right length but fall off his butt, and he is getting interested in potty training, just imagine when he gets out of diapers nothing will fit him. He did really good getting his shot and finger pricked. He cried just a little at the shot, but really cried when she put the band aid on his finger. It had to come off, then he moved to the one on his leg and he pulled it off. He was jumping in front of the doctor, kinda like a rabbit with both feet off the floor, she was impressed that he could do that.
Christopher is trucking along with reading. At the begining of the year I was kinda worried about him. He was reading at a Kindergarden level. Now he is getting into a second grade level. He is doing pretty good with his spelling word also. Just last week he didn't get them very good even by Friday morning. I drilled him from the time he got up til he got out of the car on his words and he made a 90. I was thrilled.

Lost Tooth

Christopher lost his first tooth last Friday. He was so excited. He didn't remember it even coming out so we did not have a tooth to put under his pillow, but the tooth fairy let him money anyways. I guess she always knows.

Roo is talking like crazy. He can say almost anything and gets most name rights. He is starting to remember things. He still loves Mickey Mouse. We are going to take him to see Mickey with my mom and dad later in the year.

The Secret To Toddler Bedtime

Chris had soccer practice a couple of weeks ago, my husband takes him and I say home with Zack (Roo). He has a song that he makes us listen to when we go anywhere over and over. So I decided to make him a Cd to listen to while he sleeps. He already had baby Einstein he was listening to for almost two years. I put his favorite song as number one so when I start his Cd at bedtime he will get to hear it. For this first song it had to be Out Last Night by Kenny Chesney. Then so on to Chicken Fried, Small Town Girl, some Taylor Swift and Second Chance. He has a good variety of music he likes. I also had room for some kids songs. Now when he goes to bed he will run to his room and put his arms up for me to pick him up and be put in the crib. I put his Cd on repeat and he gladly goes to sleep.
I am about ready to change his bed to a toddler bed. I'm split between changing his bed or getting a toddler bed. I may see what kinds they have out there and go from there.
