What We've Been Up To

Kris has been in Spain for almost 10 days for business. Kale and I have tried to stay busy, but finding exciting activities has been challenging. We have been playing with the dogs alot. Jonah is Kale's favorite friend. He is great with him. Kale's favorite new game is to give Joe his bone, then take it away and run somewhere in the house, while waiting for Jonah to follow. Then he gives it back and the whole process starts again.

Kale also enjoys laying on his back and letting the dogs sniff and lick him. He thinks it's hilarious! The dogs have been great babysitters for me while Kris has been away.

Playing the bone game.

The junk drawer is Kale's second favorite thing to play with. He loves pulling everything out and examining the items.

Chapstick! If Kale can find my chapstick, he carries it everywhere. He pretends to put it on himself and the dogs.

Kale also really enjoys figuring out how things work. He has my camera cord and he is trying to make it fit into the electrical outlet (don't worry we have baby proofed). He also likes to try to buckle his own carseat and remove the fan knob and make it fit back into the slot.

In other news, Kale has been very sick--probably the sickest he has ever been. He has hand, foot, and mouth disease (which is nothing like mad cow disease or hoof and mouth disease. My first reaction was "those damn dogs!") It just means he has blisters on the back of his throat and a rash has developed on his body--commonly the rash is on the soles of feet and the palms of hands, but so far he doesn't have that. There is not much we can do but wait it out, since it is a viral infection. By the way, he did go to the daycare for the first time on Friday and by Sunday night, he was sick....hummm-what does that tell you? His fever is finally down today and he has eaten and drank for the first time in 3 days. He slept relatively well last night too, which was a relief for me!
