Las Vegas Family Photography :: Fairbanks Holiday Mini-Shoot

It seems that I would have learned this by now.  I mean, its been two years.  I'm still learning how much having a child changes things.  At the first sign of a fever your life must stop.  Not slow down.  Not coast.  Stop.

Yesterday I made a HUGE mistake.  I left my phone in my office while I ran around the school, jumped into meetings left and right, and wrote psych reports until my fingers fell off.  From 6:30am to 3:30pm I didn't even glance at my phone, and the day went by so quickly that I didn't even notice.  HUGE mistake.  

When I got into my car to go pick up my little boy I finally thought about checking my phone.  It had been blowing up all day long.  It may have even burned my fingers when I picked it up.  Apparently, my little man was sick.  The preschool had called twice... and husband had called twenty, thirty, maybe a thousand times.  My poor baby boy.

His Daddy rescued him from preschool (thankfully), and they also stayed home today to let our little boy rest.  Unfortunately, we also had dinner plans tonight.  Lucille's... ahhh mouth.watering.barbeque.  -- that too had to be cancelled.

We had planned to meet our friends early to knock out a quick mini holiday session, and then have dinner.  They have a little boy too; therefore, we couldn't risk spreading flu germs whether they were of the swine variety or not (Hudson's flu is not the swiney flu).

So I met up with the Fairbanks on my own -- slathered in antibacterial.  Seriously, I showered in it before I picked up little Waylon.  We had a great time, and I loved seeing how much Waylon has grown!!  I couldn't get enough of his cheeks!!  I want to squeeze them, and then put some in my pocket for later.  Adorable.

I can't wait to check my mail to see which one Indu (Waylon's mom) chooses to put on the holiday card!!
