Halloween 2012 wasn't one to write home about unfortunately. Owen was very excited to be a fireman and our neighbors lent a costume to him. It was a hair big, but he loved it, so a fireman he was! He started to get his 3 year molars the week before Halloween. He was crabby, had a fever and wasn't eating well, so he was home from daycare for two days. Then he seemed better over the weekend and on Monday. On Tuesday though, I got a call from Heidi saying that he was acting lethargic, not interested in his normal activities, was shivering and just wasn't himself. So, I went and picked him up and by that afternoon, he had a 101.7 temp and was miserable. I even asked Paul to bring a shake home for him so he'd get some fat and protein. He's been living off of jusice and fruit/veggie pouches. By about 7:30, I decided to take him in, just in case. He got his finger "pinched" (blood drawn) and a strep test. That came back negative, but his white blood count was really low, which meant he had a virus.
He seemed to be acting more himself the next morning, but he still had a fever and couldn't go to Heidi's for the big Halloween party. :( I tried my best to make it a fun day, but there is only so much that can compete with treats, costumes and parties!
After we convinced him to eat a few bites of dinner, we put his costume on and made it to one house before he was whining and not into it anymore. We made it to a totaly of 3 houses, and then we were back home. He did have fun handing out treats to a couple of kids, then off to bed. :(
These are the treats I made for Owen to take to his party at Heidi's.
