Thanksgiving 2012

Happy Thanksgiving! It is time for Turkey again, but Cameron has to work so we have to do Turkey dinner on the date after Thanksgiving. We have dinner at our house this year, I make Turkey, broccoli casserole, vegetables, dinner role and orange . My mother in law said she will make celery and some eggs. We went shopping early morning because I want to buy some sweater for Garrett.

Weekend at zellwood corn maze

This is his dad's idea to go on hay ride, it is $4/person, but we end up go in corn maze for $11/person. I dont  think we enjoy going in corn maze much, it was just OK. Garrett loves the slide and zipline though.

Garrett was at corn maze.

Garrett so shy and does not want to look at the girl's face :)

Garrett's first time go to zipline. At first he did not want to go, I have to tell him just go once and I will give him yogurt when he gets home. But guess what! he just loves it and want to go again and agian

Weekend at Weikia campground

I got coupon from groupon.com to go to this campground which is closed to home in Sorrento. I more like going there in summer because they have a nice swimming area with slide. But we go in winter time, it is cold so we cant go in water. the coupon includes two hour canoe rental, so Garrett's first time go on canoe with his dad. He did good in canoe so we think he should have no problem to go on his dad's boat.

They also have big slide, look! and Garrett loves it. He is ready to go to Disney.

Garrett's friends at Lake Mary Childcare

Garrett has gone to this childcare since he was one. This is Garrett's second childcare, his first childcare is Building block. I dont like that childcare much because it is too small. Noah has gone to the same childcare since he was five months.

Garrett's temperature - 104.4F experience

This is a crazy cold season; every kid gets sick at daycare. I saw almost all of them have running nose everywhere and the teacher does not clean for them. I am not sure if she is afraid they will have pain after wipe at the same spot so many times or she is just lazy.

My Garrett and Noah are the same. They have cough, running nose, fever, and ear infection. It is fun when they are healthy and hard when they are sick. Noah has not slept through the night yet, he keeps waking up at night and more often when he is sick. I know he does not feel good, so I also awake to temper him.

And Garret has been having low fever for over one week; it kept coming back and forth. I did not think he might have ear infection until today, so we took him to doctor and get antibiotic. Not sure because of ear infection or something else is going in his body, the night before he woke up few times said bunch of things that did not make senses. And especially last night, as usual my baby wakes me up because he is hungry, so I fed him. When I was going back to sleep I use my hand to check Garrett’s head. I did not feel it too bad so I tried going back to sleep. After laid down about five minutes, I feel Garrett is shaking. So I woke up to check, I thought he was cold, so I put blanket on him and hold him. But he still keep shaking I thought something is not right here. I woke my husband up and ask him look online to see if he finds any reason why Garrett likes this. He spent few minutes and said he did not find anything. After about ten minutes Garrett quits shaking. I thought he was OK then I checked his temperature. Oh my god, it was 104.4, which is the number that the doctor always tells me bring them to ER immediately. It is scary if I did not learn from few of my friends whose kid had this high fever before, and they brought him in ER. At the hospital, they just put him in cold water and gave him Motrin until fever reduces and sent them home. So I gave Garrett one and a half teaspoon Advil and put him in warm bath for about 20 minutes. That helps his temperature goes down to 99.7. What a release! So we let him out of bath and keep checking his temperature every ten minutes after that for about 1 hour to make sure it did not go back up. Then we all eventually fall to sleep, it was almost five in the morning. What a night! And thanks God my baby woke me up so I was able to check on Garrett.

Hope they feel good by the end of the week since we have planned to go to the camp this weekend.

Noah's first time go to park (Gilbert park in Mount Dora)

This is a nice park which closes to house.

Garrett + Noah 's first train ride

Garrett loves the train, especially Thomas. He has lot of train toys, that are from his nana or last Christmas gifts. He like to make the train horn sound "zhu zhu". It is funny.

There is "the Orange Blossom Cannonball, Central Florida’s Historic Steam Train!" in our area that my husband wants to take him to. But it costs $18/adult and Garrett is free since he is under four. I think it is too expensive for just one hour ride. So my husband takes them today. I dont want to spend $18 for me, so I just take picture for them and stay around at the park while they are going on train.

We did not tell Garrett at first, but when we went into to the ticket room to buy ticket, he knows. And he wants to hold the ticket. I said " You need to hold it carefully, if you lose it, you can not go on train.".

We are ready!

10-13-12 : First time Noah goes to the beach

It is mid October, the weather is just around 65 to 83 these days, perfect for outside playing, so we have decided going to New Smyrna beach this weekend. We are lucky the weather today is perfect for Noah. Garrett loves playing with sand and water with his dad. He is not afraid of water much like before, even he likes his dad hold him when he is in water.

Here we are at the beach.
