Busy Weekend

We had a pretty good weekend. Friday evening Parker and I went to my friend Susan's so he could play with her little girl (his BFF/GF), Madyson. Still being on the steroid Parker was pretty wild. Parker and Madyson had not seen each other in a while, so that didn't help matters either. But we had a good time.
Saturday morning Danny got up bright and early and headed to his first drill. Parker and I got ready and went to the Children's museum to meet Dewana, Blake, Addison and Alyssa. I was so excited to see them. Seems like it has been forever, even though Dewana and I talk several times a week. Parker was loving the museum and there was a birthday party there with bigger kids (mostly boys) and he thought he was just as big! He wanted to climb the latter in the little fire house/jail they have. He, Addison and Blake built some log houses with the Lincoln logs. I was very surprised how he sat there for a while and did that with Blake. He doesn't sit that still for me. (Saturday was the last day of the steroid and I had not been around him for a full day while he has been on it. So Saturday was very challenging for me!)
When we left the Children's museum we went to meet up with a few more friends at Peking. It was great to visit with everyone, what little visiting I was able to do with my wild man. By this time, he was ready for a nap. When we were leaving Dewana and family gave Parker his birthday present since they wouldn't be here for his birthday. He didn't really see it when I put it in the car and he was passed out within two minutes of driving home. So while he napped I got the present out of the box and had it waiting on him when he woke up. It was a Tball set. He absolutely loved it! He didn't get to play with it long before we had to leave again. His friend Madyson has one, so he knew what it was and how it worked. He can hit that ball pretty hard and far without hitting the T stand.
After drill Danny went to Doug and Susan's to "listen" to the LSU game, so Parker and I met him there. Even though he had a pretty long nap, he was still wild. The adults were all outside watching other games on TV, but since P had been coughing, I didn't want him outside in the cold, breathing in the smoke from the fire they had built. So me him and Madyson stayed inside. They played so hard! I was worn out by 8ish, so Parker and I headed home.
Our dog Rudy always runs up to the car and greets us when we get home. He didn't this night. So when I get out of the car I hear him kind of whining. I see him over in the flowerbed (if that's what you want to call it) laying down. P and I were both calling him over and he wouldn't come. Finally he walked over to us. I thought at fist maybe he got hit by a car or something, but when he started walking and not limping or anything, I wasn't sure what to think. I get Parker inside and put Toy Story on and get Rudy some food. He managed to come up the stairs and eat. Sunday morning I could hear him outside just whining, so I walk out there and he is laying at the top of the stairs and his teeth were chattering. I go inside and get him a blanket and cover him up. I go and find something warm for him to eat and I had to put the bowl in front of him, because he would not come over to where it was. After Parker and I got home from Church he was laying out in the sun, I guess trying to stay warm. By the time we left for Church his teeth had quit chattering. He seemed a little better through the day and last night I decided to give him some of Parker's Motrin. This morning he seemed much better. Maybe he has arthritis or something. It scared me! Parker was so sweet to him though. He was trying to hug him and cover him up with the blanket and kept asking him if he was ok, since he heard me asking it.
Parker was not nearly as wild and crazy on Sunday as he was on Friday and Saturday. I do however think he is getting his 2 year molars in. He has had some runny diapers, and I think that is where the biting is coming from. He bit me on Saturday at Peking! I caught him before he bit Madyson's foot on Saturday night. So between his raw bottom (from the runny diapers) and the biting, I decided to give him some Motrin last night too. His bottom seemed a little better this morning thank goodness!
I received my Jewelry package on Saturday! I am so excited! I tagged all of the jewelry yesterday. I have booked one party already :)
Danny came home yesterday evening worn out. He had a PT test (I am guessing Physical Training) yesterday morning where he had to do so many push ups in a minute, sit ups in a minute and run a mile in so many minutes. He passed, but he wants to work on doing better. He said he was in better shape than he thought he was, but still had a long way to go before Basic Training. They gave him a dvd about basic this weekend and we watched it on Saturday night. Please pray for him! That does not look like it will be easy at all!!!! I kind of wish I would have never watched it...lol I know he will do great though!

I sure hope Parker feels better soon! Is there a website for the jewelry? Maybe in the Spring I will have a party at my mom's house!
