Another round of illness!
Last week, we took Nate to the doctor for his annual flu shot. In previous years, we were forced to give him an actual shot due to his age. Usually he would develop a fever after the shot but would exhibit no other signs of illness. This year Nate was able to receive the vaccine via nasal spray. We let little man decide how he wanted the medicine administered--of course he chose the spray! Three days after receiving the vaccine Nate had a fever of over 100 and a horrible head cold. It took about four days before he started feeling more like himself. Since we were stuck indoors until he was no longer contagious (I'm not sure if he was but didn't want to risk it) we did many, many craft projects! Here are some pictures of two of them.....................
I decided to create this blog as a sort of "journal" for Nathan. I do not have the time or the inclination to put together a scrapbook for him. I am just not creative! We have photo albums for him but it is just not as personal. Thank you Lindsey for the wonderful blog idea!
In my son's eyes, I am a hero. I am strong an' wise, And I know no fear. But the truth is plain to see: He was sent to rescue me, I see who I want to be, in my son's eyes.
In my son's eyes, everyone is equal, Darkness turns to light, And the world is at peace. This miracle God gave to me, Gives me strength when I am weak. I find reason to believe, in my son's eyes.
And when he wraps his hand around my finger, Oh, it puts a smile in my heart. Everything becomes a little clearer. I realize what life is all about. It's hanging on when your heart has had enough; It's giving more when you feel like giving up. I've seen the light: it's in my son's eyes.
In my son's eyes, I can see the future. A reflection of who I am, And what will be. And though he'll grow and, some day, leave: Maybe raise a family, When I'm gone, I hope you'll see, How happy he made me, For I'll be there, in my son's eyes.
