Week 1 of football

As most of you know, Donnie is a football coach, so football season is a busy time around our house. He's out of the house 13 hours most days and on Friday nights, he's usually not home before 1am.

On work days, Donnie gets Rhett's bottles and food ready in the morning, and I get him ready for school and do the dropping-off and picking up. We've made it through the first week, and we've really gotten into a good rhythm.

Here are a few pictures from my time with Rhett:

Eating chicken sticks for the first time. They smell like cat food, they look like vienna sausages, but he loves them.

One too many chicken sticks, I guess...

Looking at the farm behind our apartment...

Sweet grin...

Getting his 2nd haircut. Doesn't he look like a little man??

I'm not a big fan of the gel she used, but I love the expression on his little face in the below pic. The stylist let him play with the combs, which kept him happy.

Riding with Ernie after his haircut. He's totally flirting with the little girl on the ride in front of him :)

She's probably digging the haircut.

After Ernie, we decided to have dinner at Gatti Town. Rhett enjoyed their fruit salad, some cheese pizza, and some veggies off of the salad bar. We sat in the kid room and ate with lots of other families while we enjoyed some cartoons. Doesn't he look excited?

The week ended with our little man getting a severe ear infection and a high fever but luckily, Grammy and Grandaddy were able to watch him this morning until I could get him to the doctor. He has his antibiotics and his fever has broken, so I'm hoping he feels better tomorrow.

So 1 week down, more weeks than I want to count to go, but we had a great one. Rhett is such an easy-going kid and even when he's running a 102.8 fever, he's still cracking smiles and coming in for hugs. Donnie is enjoying his football teams and is optimistic about their future.

Here's to a successful football season!
