Wow so it's been two months...

I guess it's time for a blog? I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted anything on here. There hasn't been a whole lot of excitement really, but we've kept pretty busy.

I'll start with Chance. He is doing great in kindergarten. He's learned all of his letters and sounds, he will count to 100, he loves to spell out words that he sees all around him, and read the digital clocks, and he's doing better with sounding out words. No behavior problems at all except sometimes it's hard to get him to stop talking (imagine that!), but he hasn't came home with a red card yet and as far as I know, has only had one yellow card. When I asked his teacher about it, I guess he was just so excited over something he wanted to tell her after she had asked everyone to stop talking and he just couldn't contain himself and just had to tell her anyway. So at least it wasn't for beating the crap out of someone or anything. I love his teacher but sadly she is leaving this week to take another job on post. Hopefully whoever takes her place is just as good with the kids.
He's actually been sick since Sunday. It's the first time in wow....well over a year that he's been sick like this. He never missed a day of pre-k except the day he had the surgery to remove his ear tube. He and I went to the park on Sunday to hang out with a new friend and her son and he was fine. Later on that night, he passed out around the normal time but didn't get a bedtime snack, but I figured he was just tired from the park since it was warm that day. I went to check on him when I heard him up getting water in the bathroom around 10pm and he was burning up. Thankfully he didn't spike a really high fever like he used to get every time he had an ear infection, and it didn't get over 102 so we kept him home from school Monday and Tuesday. He's been fever free since late Monday night so I think he'll be able to go back to school in the morning. I actually woke up the other week at 4am (which if you know me, you know this is not normal) but I was shaking uncontrollably...piled on the sweats, long sleeve shirts, thick socks, loaded up the bed with blankets and was still freezing cold. Ended up skipping class that day since I could hardly get out of bed. Ran a fever, but that was pretty much it except just feeling like crap all over. Whatever that was, it lasted 24 hours and I was fine to go back to school the next day. So it seems similar to what Chance had.
I had called the TMC trying to get him an appt and they didn't have any. So I weighed the pros and cons and figured we'd try to wait it out rather than risk a trip to the ER around who knows what. Still doesn't have his full appetite back, but I'm not rushing it.
Karate is going well for him. He got his yellow belt and is still doing the demo team. He's started doing cartwheels which is so funny. I'd like to put him in the X-Treme class which is a bit of gymnastics with the karate mixed in, but we might wait until the summer when things aren't so busy.
