hectic last few days...

Well, to start it all off, Sean and I have been committed to getting fit and training for some marathons.  So, because of that "get fit" idea, now I (mel) have severe leg pain that just will not go away.  The doctor has ordered a bone scan of both legs and we're awaiting results.  Hoping that there is no signs of stress fracture.  Also, PT was ordered to find out where all this pain is coming from and how to prevent further injury.  It's something that we really want to do and it feels good too.

So then, Matthew ends up with Strep throat on Sunday.  The first sign was on Saturday when our "ball of fire" zonked out in the car at 6:00 pm without any warning.  We barely did anything all day and it is not like him to take a nap.  We got home and he didn't want dinner and just went to bed. His friend at school had strep last week so I just put 2 and 2 together... besides, mommys know best and I knew right away by the smell of his breath that it was strep.  Sean brough him in on Sunday morning to the ped and sure enough it was positive.  He basically vegged out all day on Sunday and was in bed by 7pm.  BUT , all night he had a high fever between 102-103.  Sean had to run to the store at 10pm to get more children's motrin since tylenol was not even touching it.  after cold washcloths and lots of tylenol and motrin, it wasn't until after midnight that his fever started to go down.  

And TODAY, he woke up with the biggest grin and asked "is it the next day yet?".  We told him yes and he said "I am so excited, this is my kindergarten day!".  He was up and happy to know that he was going to his kindergarten registration and screening today.  He did a great job and scored really well on all areas... except social skills (which is not believable since he is so very social) but they combine listening skills with social skills so that is def. the reason why.  But otherwise they said he is more than ready for Kindergarten. We treated him to lunch before I had to get back to the final part of my bone scan.  The rest of the day was pampering and spoiling him on his special day!  He still didn't feel good today and just lay on the couch till dinner (which he didn't eat) and was in bed by 7pm.  Hopefully he will be better for school tomorrow and hoping that no one else in the family gets it.

Andrew was very excited today to see Matthew come to visit school.  His teachers told us that he was proud of Matthew! (so cute)  So we popped in to visit Andrew and he was not in class but was at Art Class.  Andrew came out of the classroom and gave Matthew a huge hug and was very excited for him.  It was so "big brotherly" of him!

Here's a little pic of Matthew in front of school.  It was REALLY windy and very cold out today, and the camera wasn't working right so we only got these crazy shots of Matthew.
