Mom of The Year Award...

Today sure has been an interesting day. We are babysitting for some of our friends and today the kids didnt have school. I woke up thinking, "I should make a good breakfast..." The kids said they wanted frEnCH TOasT! I know Maddex LOVES to watch me cook... he likes to be all up in the action... so I sat his bouncy chair up on the insland and buckled him in. That just wasn't close enough for Maddex- he wanted to be held... So being the nut that I am... (I have a hard time letting him cry) I held him while trying to make the french toast and talking to tanner on the phone.. He was grabbing at everything and I was getting overwhelmed so I sat him back in his bouncy for JUST a SEC so I could stir my mix...

In that split second that I sat him in there- forgetting to buckle him- :(i know, bad mom.) Maddex came tumbling out of his bouncy seat and his face went directly into my bowl of french toast mixture. I pulled him out quickly, but I couldn't help not to laugh when I saw eggs dripping off of his face. He was crying hysterically until I cleaned him all up...

I layed him on the living room floor and asked the kids to keep him happy while I finished making breakfast. A couple of minutes later when I walked over to check on him- he did NOT look like my adorable little baby Maddex-his face was covered in blotchy red hives- they were starting on his head and going down his neck. I FrEAKeD OUT... paniced- I could barely dial the number to the dr. - after explaining to him how my baby fell into my bowl of french toast mixture- he told me to come in right away... to make a crazy LONG story short...

They quickly gave Maddex a shot of steriods and loaded him up with some benadryl... after about 20 min.- he started to look better. After realizing he was going to be fine- it was then ok for everyone in the dr's office to laugh at what happened. :) The verdict: Maddex is more than likely allergic to eggs.

To top it off- When I got back to the house like 2 hours later - I was in the kitchen cleaning when the the little boy I am babysitting asks.. "So are you going to make some French Toast... " Um.. no. Oh yeah, and I learned my lesson for not buckling him in. I'm pretty sure I lost MoM of THe YEar AwARd! Tanner informed me "there's always next year..."

p.s. thanks grandma kathy and daddy for rushing to help. -Sorry I dont have a picture of Maddex with hives to top this story off- I didnt really have my camera in hand... and I wasn't getting one off of the interent b/c that is just gross... -
