Inspired by Dr. Frankenstein

I've been inspired by Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced Frank-en-shteen) to give life to this dead blog.

Monkey Update:

Cael will be 3 on Sept. 7. He loves to eat salmon cakes fried in coconut oil, plain, full-fat greek yogurt, cake-cakes (my flour-less pancakes) and ice cream (pronounced eyeth-cweam) which we rarely give him, but he still talks about it all the time. Oh, he's also crazy about berries and apples.

He likes to watch Shaun the Sheep. He has excellent taste, I love that show and we have the first season on Netflix play it now. I have all the episodes memorized, but it's still funny.




It turns out they have a website too! http://www.shaunthesheep.com/


I started a new (potentially awesome) job last Monday which means that Cael started daycare. I really like the place we take him to, my company has a discount deal with them too! Monkey gets upset when I leave, but he has a great time and forgets about me in 2 minutes. They have an awesome playground out back and tons of toys. He's doing a lot better when interacting with other kids. For a while there he would really freak out when another kid came anywhere near him and that all started last year when I was working part time in a crap job and was taking him to a babysitter. She was a nice lady, but I think she just let all the kids she was 'watching' run wild in the basement and Squishy probably got bullied by some of the older kids. Anyway, it's all good now.

Cael is just getting over being sick. Too bad I didn't catch it sooner, he had a runny nose this past week and I thought it was spring allergies so I didn't give him any echinacea. By Saturday evening he had a fever which didn't break until this morning. It was my first fever so I was nervous, but it never got over 102.5 F. I gave him some homeopathic remedies and tricked him into having elderberry juice when I mixed it with coconut milk ice cream. He's still got a runny nose and he hates it! He whines and whines and whines, freaks out when I wipe it, then whines for 10 minutes after that.

Right now he's in the bathtub, a favorite past time, but he's whining right now so I'm assuming his nose is starting to run again. Yay. Now I get to wipe his nose and clean his ears, another freak out moment.
