First off, so I don’t forget. I’m updated Dade’s growth stats.

Now to the post. . .

Dade went in for his 2 month check up this afternoon. I felt bad for Clint because he was going to have to take him by himself, and Dade was going to be getting his first round of shots. Clint said that the appointment went well, and the doctor said that Dade looked really good. He’s been getting a rash on his tummy, so I had Clint tell the doctor about it. She said it’s called a “Clogged Pore Rash”, and there’s really nothing we can do about it. If it gets dry and flaky, then we can put some lotion on it.

I stopped by Hy-Vee and bought some Infant’s Tylenol for Dade to take. He must have screamed for 20 minutes or so this evening shortly after I got home. He was wet through his clothes so I changed him and put him in his sleeper. I took the band-aids off his little legs. It must have aggravated the area where he got the shots because he was really upset. I know now that there’s nothing worse then the cry of your child when they don’t feel good. I gave him his bottle an hour early to help him relax and get some sleep. Clint said that he didn’t sleep a lot this afternoon.

I think he fell alseep sometime around 7 or so. It’s 8:30 now, so he’s been out for about an hour and a half. I think he’ll wake up by midnight and want a bottle and then go back to sleep.

I uploaded a new album to my Web Gallery. It’s the date 2.24.08. Amy found some new settings on our digital camera, and had a blast! There’s lots and I mean lots of pictures of me and Dadey, plus Clint and Dadey, and Clint’s visit to IHOP with Chris, Aaron, and Amy.

Clint officially started his workout routine today. He wanted to start training for the Park Ranger physical test. For those of you who didn’t know, Clint’s thinking about becoming a Park Ranger. He’s pretty much got everything that he needs to me a Park Ranger, with the exception of a few college hours in behavioral sciences. He did sit-ups, push-ups, and starting running. Makes me want to get my big butt over to curves. 3 Days a week for 30 minutes. I can do it!!!

My boys in my classroom are fight crazy. Not sure why. I talked to my mentor about it, and she gave me some really good ideas. First things first is a class meeting tomorrow at the end of the day. We are going to find out what the problem is exactly, and see if we can brainstorm how to fix it as a class. I really want to take all of them to the Zoo on the 27th of May, so we shall see.

I informed the students today of Saturday school this Saturday. Man they were upset. HELLO!!! Do you really think that teachers want to come in on a Saturday and teach as well. I don’t think so. Oh well though. I’ll be interested to see how many actually come in. I’ve got some fun stuff planned for those that do.

I’m beat. Going to turn in for now. It’s Clint’s night to take care of Dade, but he’s got to run up to Amy’s for a bit so I’m on duty until he gets back. Tomorrow night is my night. We decided to switch off nights, so at least one of us gets a good nights sleep. With the exception of Saturday and Sunday nights. I agreed to take every Saturday night so Clint can be rested for church, and he takes every Sunday nights so I can be rested for school on Monday. Some weeks we’ll have two nights in a row (like this week), but it all works out in the end.

Here’s some of my new favorite pictures of Dade
