my poor lil kiddo was sick all week long, so what did that mean for me? exhaustion and LOTS (and i mean *LOTS*) of "yo gabba gabba". he really didn't want to do anything except for watch TV and since we couldn't exactly go anywhere, i had to cave. i don't mind the show...in fact, the music is quite catchy, but having to watch hours of it a day for five days in a row frankly made me feel like knocking myself unconscious. i'm so glad that it's the weekend and that ken will be home to help out. it didn't help matters that nathan got sick on sunday evening so basically i got him at the start of the week feeling like a sickie. he had a really high fever (up to 39.5 C/103 F) and was coughing. the fever seemed to have left by thursday, but he still has a bad cough. he barely napped at all this week, so that made for one extremely tired momma. it wasn't my finest parenting week. i was grumpy. anyway, once naters gets 100% better, i'll have to wean him off his daily gabba fix. it's especially bad now that he asks for the show by name and won't watch *any* other show!!! he sometimes asks for "thomas" or "tomas" as he calls it, but will only watch about 10 or so minutes before he asks for "yo gabba" again. i tried introducing him to a bunch of other shows this week, but there was no interest on his part. he just wants his good ol' friends from gabbaland. it's hard not to give in though cuz he's very cute when he watches it. as soon as the opening song starts he claps his hands and smiles. and then he chimes in by reciting all the characters' names and says the "yo gabba gabba" part at the end along with DJ Lance (complete with hand actions, by the way). hopefully i didn't turn his brain to mush this week with all the TV.
here's hoping that he fully recovers by the end of the weekend so we can resume our activities next week! i need to get out of the house!
