Colored Ice Adventure

Awhile back I made colored ice and couldn't wait to let Ascher play with it. I decided to get a big plastic tub and fill it with water and regular ice cubes on his picnic table outside and then put the colored ice in the water with the other ice cubes. I just let him go after it. He LOVES playing in the water (not himself in the water but playing with the water) so I knew he would have a blast. Granted, it was short lived because the ice melted so fast but he still had fun with the purple water once the ice had melted. Here is the pictures of our fun in the colored ice! I am gong to be on the lookout for more ice cube trays and trays in different shapes at the dollar tree. I only had one tray so we didn't have very many...next time.

cold...cold

More fun

touching it while talking about colors

Then he put the ice cubes back in the tray

then in the bowl to the tray & back and forth 

What!? Where'd they go!?

oh well..guess I'll play in the water

or just drink it....

I just love our daily adventures and  I know as he grows they will just be more and more fun!!!

Sick Baby

So Sunday night after Jordan's shower (in April) Ascher woke up a few times but I just assumed bad dream or something so I ignored it and he went back to sleep. Well talk about worst feeling in the world when I went Monday morning to get him and he had thrown up : ( Thankfully I am pretty sure he threw up in the AM- not the middle of the night but still. He was a mess. I took off his clothes and sheets and put him in the tub. He was not happy & this mom was so sad. I hate seeing him sick. He was poopie the rest of the day and threw up 2 more times. 

I called doctor and Tuesday morning we went in. I figured it was just a virus but I wanted to be sure he didn't have an infection or the flu. Yup- just a virus. Which is good but there is nothing I can do for the sweet little baby. He just wants to be held and whine. I hated it. I just wanted to make it better. Plus- he doesn't understand whats wrong. He just knows he doesn't feel good. breaks my heart.

So all day Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday I cared for my sickling. We spent a lot of time changing dirty diapers, eating crackers & water and taking long naps. He was so sad. 

However, Daddy coming home sure cheered him up for a few minutes each day before it was back to pouting. 

Thankfully by Thursday he was starting to feel a little better. Still cranky but no more throw up! Praise Jesus- that stink does NOT go away easily!! Our AC was having a leak so the A/C guys were here most of Thursday changing our evaporator coil.

Since we couldn't leave the house and I was getting total cabin fever- I tried to have "tot school" with Ascher. I got three different types of paper (construction, computer & tissue) and we got little buckets to sort. Then we went to town tearing the different types and talking about the sounds they made and how they all three felt different. He wasn't too interested. Instead- he wanted to walk with the paper on his feet. 

Thankfully by Friday he was basically back to sweet, happy Ascher.
