What A Week...TGIF

This was a rough week for the Seaton family....thank goodness Friday has arrived so we can try to have an enjoyable weekend (especially since Chris and I will be out of town next weekend).

The week started out with Chris and I returning to work after holiday and vacation to a busy schedule at work. We spent all week playing catch-up with short and skipped lunches or late night work. It didn't help that I also spent all day Tuesday in Chicago at a conference, so was playing catch-up for that too!

For Connor, he had a something that affected him off and on all week. Sunday night, he started complaining that he was achy, had a fever of 99.9, and then requested to go to bed about 6:30. We were sure we would be home with him on Monday. He woke up Monday saying that he felt great and just needed a good night's sleep. That evening at dinner, it started again. He said he felt achy and this time he had a fever of 102.3. He went straight to bed again around 7. The next morning, his fever was low but we decided to keep him home for the day to see what developed. By mid-day, he seemed to be doing fine with no fever or aches. This was the case until Thursday night when he fell asleep on the way home and said he wanted to go to bed early. No fever this time, so perhaps he was just drained from the week and the sick days. As of Friday, he seems to be doing fine.

As for Brady, he ended up with a smashed finger on Wednesday night. We were at a birthday party and his cousin accidentally smashed his finger in a door. I have NEVER seen Brady so upset and inconsolable. I felt helpless! He would start to calm down and based on his frequent screams of pain, I can only assume that the finger would throb as a constant reminder. We were sure it was going to get worse by morning, but it seems to be healing fine with the nail intact.

Then on Friday night, Brady lost his TV privileges based on an email we received from his teacher. Apparently, Brady had a "rough" week at school with some very aggressive and destructive behavior. He apparently lost recess time, lunch companionship, and the use of crayons/markers throughout the week. When asked, he defended a couple items, but agreed to most of it. The terrible 3s have definately reared their ugly head....
