Jimmy and Friends

Jimmy was out playing with his friends Brock and Aiden from school last Friday and they were all wearing their Cool Cat EG King Shirts!! He is loving school. He is the shortest one in his class and he says his best friend is a little black girl named Triana who sits next to him. She is also a foot taller than him, but he doesn't care.

Jimmy is Sick

Jimmy has his first school time sniffles. He was complaining Wednesday night that his throat was hurting and sure enough Thursday morning he woke up with a runny nose. Poor Kid. He was happy though, because since he was sick Eric had to take the morning off, because I had a doctor's appointment with my OB that I couldn't miss. I have a recurring UTI that just won't die and we need to talk about the birth control pill she put me on for my endometriosis. I think it is suppressing the cramps, but lately I have been having weird hormonal issues making me even crazier than normal. Anyway, Jimmy was ecstatic to stay home with Dad. I got to the doctor and they said the appointment is next Thursday. My wonderful husband and his equally wonderful boss just shrugged it off and said "Oh well". Hopefully Jimmy won't get sick next week too, but knowing my luck he will. Jimmy is home again today (the nose is running even more and he sounds congested in his chest). His little friend Brock that lives behind us and who we carpool with was sick yesterday too. He is back in school today though. I asked his Mother what she did to him and she said she used her Witch Doctor ways on him (rubbing him with eucalyptus and frankincense and making him drink water every hour). I might have to try it.

Jimmy's First Sleepover at Grandma Bear's

Jimmy had his first sleepover. It was on the Sunday night before Labor Day. My Mom has Monday's off so while we were at Kristin's Sunday night celebrating the Labor Day weekend and Lindsay going through the temple on Saturday Mom asked Jimmy if he could spend the night. Of course he said yes!!! We were very concerned that he wouldn't sleep because he is a sleep in is own bed and no where else kind of kid. We didn't get him over to Mom's until 10:30 at night. It was raining and cold. He actually slept. Wow!!! It took him awhile to wind down. They read books and scriptures and Mom told him a Jimmy animal story and she tucked him in to the hide-a-bed in her living room. She said he got up twice, once to just say hello and another to say his sleeping bag was to hot, so they put TV Bunny (I don't know why he named his stuffed rabbit that, something to do with Hailey I think) and Bearby (his stuffed bear we got from Artic Circle a year ago, the thing kids get attached to) in the sleeping bag and Jimmy slept under the blanket Mom won at the Davis Cup Marching Band competition last year. He did go to sleep after that and was up at his normal 7:00 in the morning. So now we know he can sleep overnight at someone else's house. I wasn't worried about him at all, because he was with My Mom. He actually did start Kindergarten this week and he is loving it. They are doing color days and he has to wear the color of the day and the read a story, sing a song, and have a snack about the color of the day. He loves Miss Paul. I love her too. She is very soft spoken and organized.
