Gave it the ole college try

Happy Monday everyone!

So, the game Saturday night didn’t turn out the way we hoped but it was definitely a good game to watch!  My boys were all dressed and ready for a win…

but we just couldn’t pull it out. There’s always next year!  Roll Tide!

Unfortunately, the game wasn’t the only thing that didn’t go our way this weekend.  Maxwell decided to let me and Robert pull an all-nighter on Friday.  He woke up about 10:30 on Friday just miserable and sounding like he had a mild case of the croup.  After a visit outside to the cool air and cranking the humidifier to full blast, I rocked him in the chair until 3:30 am.  That boy would be DEAD asleep but as soon as I would even attempt to put him in his crib he’d start wailing.  He’d reach his little arms up for me and then hold on so tight when I picked him back up.  Poor sick buddy just wanted to be loved on.  After 5 hours in the chair I was at my limit, so I took him into our room and tried to get him to sleep in the bed with me and Robert.  That didn’t work…at all.  So, Robert stepped up and rocked him from 4:30 to 6:30.  We were both zombies Saturday morning but Maxwell seemed to be feeling better with no more signs of croup so that was good.  He took great naps on Saturday and slept great Saturday night after a little crying episode from about 10:30 to 11:30.  Sunday he was off and on – happy to super crabby.  I don’t know if it’s the congestion/cough/runny nose that’s making him pitiful or maybe he’s getting some teeth that are really bothering him.  Whatever it is, I’m ready for my happy, healthy buddy to be back.

Things on Sunday weren’t all miserable though.  Maxwell helped Dad trim the bushes out front…

and loved exploring the yard.  The grass was a little hard for him to walk on though so he needed my finger to hold onto…

cuteness.  Here you can also see where he managed to bang up his head Friday night with a little fall…

Poor buddy has had it rough!  Here’s hoping for a better week ahead!
