Life In Review

So...let me tell ya, the last couple of weeks have just been SUPER enjoyable (with a large dose of sarcasm).


Alex, my favorite little boy in the whole world, should be the poster child for RSV.


One happy boy, full of congestion.
(Don't mind the cheesy smirk on my face). The nebulizer was only a one day thing. I felt that hot steamy showers had the exact same effect (without the annoying mask).



It took two LONG weeks to get over, but luckily he's finally better now. I have one rather large complaint though. I feel it was a COMPLETE waste of my time to go to the doctor, have them test for RSV and then find out that there's nothing to really do about it but quarintine him, use a humidifier and wait it out. I should have just kept my $300 and kept on doing what I was already doing. Oh brother.


Of course the week before Alex gets sick is when I decide that we are going to do potty training (again). So through out all of his needing to be held all of the time, I was cleaning up accidents ALL over the house. Tigi was completely adverse to pooping on the toilet. I offered her a diaper to poop in, but to no avail, she kept pooping in the panties. Then the magically day came when she ran into to tell me, "I DID IT MOM!!! I POOPED IN THE TOILET!"

This was her special prize. Unfortunately, she hasn't pooped in the toilet since and the pony was taken away a day or two later for that reason. Pinkie Pie is still waiting atop the fridge for another magical day.

Does anyone have ANY good suggestions?!

So sorry about the RSV! Our kids had it last month and it was not a fun experience.
Spence said you guys were maybe coming up to stay with us. That would be great. Hope to see you soon!

I am so sorry about the rSV. In general I feel that most of my visits to the ped are pointless.
Congrats on potty training Tig, I need to bite the bullet on that one too. Uhg...
