Another First

So yesterday did not go exactly as planned.
Bejos boy's cough turned a little bark-y, he spiked a fever, and his breathing was a little scary shallow. 
We spent a few hours in the ER, our first trip.
It was an uneventful trip with no blood, no needles.
We did watch football from our exam room.

As you can tell he was feeling much better today with the help of Curious George, Thomas the Train, blocks, books, and few quiet moments of drawing.

So much for a speedy recovery.
Our weekend ick turned into a weeklong ick, and counting.
An eventual visit to the doctor's office identified an ear and upper respiratory infection.
Luckily this guy is a good patient.

But it isn't all doom and gloom around here. The little bejos  is back to his usual self playing drive-thru?? Where do they get this stuff? I can almost guarentee that this little guy hasn't been thru a drive-thru since he was a mere 2? 3? months old and his desperate new mom desperately needed caffeine but couldn't bear taking him out and putting him back into his car seat while holding the precious cup of hot coffee. Maybe it was straight out of his imagination and a matter of pure convenience that the dump truck stopped off for a bite of mid-morning snack.

 

The fever ick

Our weekend didn't go exactly as planned.
The fever ick set in on little bejos.
A nasty cough,
a fever that wouldn't break
and a particularly sensitive disposition.
One minute his usual spastic self, the next a whining toddler, and then a bundle of tears.

It's days like these that break our typical parenting rules. More Thomas the Train? Sure! Another Elmo episode, no problem! At whit's end we tried anything and everything. This morning we experimented with the computer camera

Here's hoping to a healthy and speedy recover!
