Here he is...

Look at him so nice and happy. This is the little guy we know. He is such a joyful and happy kid to be around. He just makes me smile. He doesn't listen all the time but ya know what? At this age, which one of my kids did? He's 2 1/2 years old. my baby. anyway, I absolutely cannot stand it when my children are sick and I can't do a thing for him. I am just lucky that it doesn't happen very often. Right now, all of my kids, yes all, are stuffed up and range from a little bit of a cough to this poor kid who has a horrible cough. It's not one of those wheezy kinds, it's more like he's choking up something he needs and you hope he continues breathing. Now that's scary. We dosed him up with some meds that he wasn't happy about but that goobery mess had to come up. I don't really remember being that scared since cub2 was a baby. A winter baby and dang she was stuffed up like no one's business. As I said before, I'm lucky my kids don't get sick, heck that was almost 11 years ago and it still scares the heck out of me just thinking about it. UGH.

We took off to go to the fair, not to go in but to get that unhealthy crap they sell on the outside of it. Curly fries, cotton candy, scones, corn dogs, etc. sheesh that's a lot of c's. c for crap, I'm sure. ;) On our way up there cub4 was coughing that scary cough in the back. we figured it was time to dose him up again but we're dumb and left the stuff at home. So we stop at the store to go make the same purchase we just made only 5 hourse previous at the other walmart. wow, we're smart cookies. I found some additional meds and tried those out, it was little meltaway strips, and when I say little I mean little. Those must pack a powerful punch because those things were tiny! That's what we tried the next time. It seemed to work for awhile, he wasn't as scary anyway.

On the way back though, he is getting all yucky sounding again. BLECH. so what did I remember, heck we need to just steam him out. we bring him home, turn on the shower steaming hot and the three youngest sat in there getting steamed out. It worked wonders for all of them. TADA! Well I figured that was only temporary, so did hubby so he went to buy yet another humidifier. Our 3rd ever. Seriously my kids don't get sick. The last I bought was when cub4 was a teeny baby (2005) and before that 1996 when cub2 was a teeny baby. So here in 2007 we have yet another one. I will tell you this much technology sure has changed from when I was a kid and my mom had an ugly off white and brown one. this one is upright and not even that noisy!

That's about it. Ramble, ramble, blah, blah, us and our scary kids.
