The Crud and other stuff!

We have the crud in my house. Lincoln was the first to get it and he just has a cough and runny nose. I of course get it all sore throat, running nose, sinus pressure. It has not helped my working out this week.  On  a good note my back is feeling 90% better.  It was not a good workout week either. Hopefully, I will feel better tomorrow.

Another bad thing happened this week. I got on the scale which is a love hate relationship. The scale hated me all this week. I had lost 8 lbs in December! But, I am up 10 lbs. How does that happen????  It is so hard to keep a positive attitude but I am trying. 

Lincoln started daycare last week. Which is where the crud came from. But, other than that he loves it. There are 4-5 other kids that go there and they are all 6 months apart. It is so cute seeing all these little people run around together.  His social skills were lacking the first 2 days but since he has dramatically improved. He was getting to close to the kids faces and they did not like that.  He has since been wresting with the boys and loves playing with matchbox cars. My little baby is getting so big.  He is still so busy. I don't think that will ever change.  But, he is so sharing with his toys. Daycare has taught him a new work "Mine". Not to impressed with that one so we have been working on sharing just him and I . We are taking turns with toys.  I have also noticed that he is more attached to his blanket. He now carries it around the house when he gets up and after naps. 

We tried to move him to a big boy bed but that was a big fail.  It took him 3 hours to fall asleep and then ended up in my bed 2 hours later. He can climb out of his crib so we are going to have to try it again soon.  

The imagination that kids have just amazes me.  There are so many things of his childhood that I want to remember but I know I won't, and that makes me sad.  For, example he is sharing his drink with his flashlight right now and making drinking noises for the flashlight.  He also is into dancing right now and bops back and forth with is head all the way tilted to one side.
