Tucker slept all night and I was able to get up when the alarm went off (unlike the day before when I tried to "practice" and ended up hitting the snooze so many times the alarm shut itself off). Winning. Hayden woke up as I was feeding Tucker and was not in a crabby mood. Winning again. Tried getting Hayden to brush his teeth while I fixed my hair. He decided to hide in his room under his blankets. Here's where the plan starts to unravel. Went into Hayden's room and realized he was burning up - had a temp of 100.3 under his arm which is officially too high to go to daycare. I could have stayed home with him but I really needed to get some scheduling done before tomorrow morning! Little did I know that Jason had a meeting at 7 so he didn't get home until 8 (I was hoping to leave by 7:15!). But he graciously offered to stay home with Hayden so I could go to work.
I only worked for a couple of hours and came home to help out with sicko. When I got back to Mac Jason was sound asleep and Hayden was playing quietly in our bed, his Star Wars guys lined up next to my pillows. The rest of the afternoon Hayden was fever free and his typical silly self. While watching Dora the Explorer he looked at me and said "Yoda". "What?" I asked him and he repeated himself. I asked "what?" one more time and this time he got right up in my face and yelled "YODA!" then he went back to the show. Each episode of Dora features a character called Swiper who's a fox that takes other characters things and hides them so the characters can't find them. When Hayden saw Swiper he playfully gasped and said "Mommy I'm Swiper". I asked "if you're Swiper where's your tail?" He looked at me and in all seriousness said "In my butt."
For weeks Hayden's been talking about Darth Vader. He's been so obsessed with Darth Vader we thought it would be fun for him to be Darth for Halloween. The costume came in the mail today and I couldn't wait to get it on him to see how it fit! But getting him to put it on was like pulling teeth! And when I finally did get him to wear it he looked extremely sad! I tried getting a picture of him in it but that was the finally straw - he chased me around the kitchen trying to hit me so I wouldn't take his picture. I finally just gave up with a single blurry picture of him in the costume. I'll try again in a couple days!
Hayden did have a new break through on pooping in the potty though. The house had gotten very quiet and all of a sudden I hear "Mommy I need help!" coming from the bathroom. I go in there and Hayden was sitting on the potty! He sat there for awhile and there was nothing in the stool but he asked for some paper anyway. He wiped his butt and the tiniest little piece of poop was on the paper. He was so proud of himself I had to give him some M&Ms! About an hour later he announced he needed to potty and went in by himself. Five minutes later there was poop in the potty! So proud of the big guy for going all by himself!
The best part of the day though came at supper time. After I fed Tucker I laid him down on the couch next to me so I could eat my supper. Hayden sat down on the opposite side of Tucker and leaned down to talk to him. I looked over when I saw Hayden's finger moving to Tucker's face. All he did was lightly touch his nose but it made Tucker break out in the biggest smile I had ever seen! Unfortunately I was too slow to get a picture of it. I think the little guy likes his big brother!
