cute Bob stuff

I am running out of titles for blog's, so forgive the unoriginal title. But even though Bob has not been feeling good, he has been coming out with lots of cute phrases.
Jim went to the dentist for part 2 of his root canal. Before we left, I explained to Bob that the dentist had to finish fixing daddy's teeth. When we got to the dentist's office, Bob told everyone that walked into the office that the dentist did not do a good job fixing daddy's teeth so we had to come back.

We also watched The Polar Express. I thought Bob would LOVE that movie because it is all about a choo choo train. There is one scene that the little boy looses the little girl's ticket and you see the ticket blowing away. Bob was in full blown tears because he lost the ticket. The ticket finds itself back on the train, but Bob was VERY upset by that point and required rocking and cuddling. I am glad we didn't spend $50 at the IMAX theater to see that movie. I am sure we would of wound up leaving the theater at that point with a waste of $50. When it was over, Bob said that we had to bring the movie back to Costco because it was too scary. Maybe Bob will like that movie next year.

When we were at Costco, I was talking to some woman - small talk about the weather, etc... Bob then asks that woman if she had a grandma Mazie. It was really adorable. Grandma Mazie had sent Bob a Christmas card with stickers, which was a wonderful thing, so he had to tell everyone about Grandma Mazie.

Bob did, however, share his cold with all of us. We kept him home from school on Thursday. He woke up and did not feel good. He crawled into bed next to me right at about nine AM - right when I fell asleep. Every time I dozed off, he kicked me awake. I was thankful when he decided he wanted to wake up, go by daddy, and watch Clifford. I had to work Thursday night.

Tomorrow I will thankfully start on my regular schedule. I will be 11 AM to 11 PM - an "off-shifter". I come in at the same time as two more providers arrive (MD, PA, or NP), so they can open more beds. What is nice is we do "team nursing". A nurse is not assigned specific rooms, rather a group of nurses are assigned a group of rooms and everyone takes care of the patients in those rooms. This way if a nurse is busy with one critical patient, the other nurses will take care of the other patients. I know that when I did clinical for paramedic class, if a nurse was busy with one patient, her other patients were neglected because no one would take care of a patient if it wasn't their patient. With that system, it takes longer for pain to be relieved, orders to be carried out, and patients to be discharged. You turn patients around a lot faster if everyone works together. It is pretty nice.

Bob and Q are currently lying on the floor next to me, next to each other. Bob even put a blanket over Q. I should get going so I can rescue Q.
Merry Christmas everyone.
