Sick Day

I finally decided to take Mason to the doctor. I never know when to finally pull the trigger and take him. I don't want to go through all the hassle of taking him and have the doctor look at me like I am crazy for coming in and that he is perfectly fine. He had a fever for long enough and a cough that didn't sound like his other kinds of coughs so I pulled the trigger.

I picked Mason up from the sitter earlier than normal and when we were in the car he said, "I mad at you" Why, I asked. "Cause I no get a snack with the big kids". How silly of me, I should have scheduled his doctor appointment around his snacking, not his nap or my work schedule. Oh well, you can't win them all.

Mason did great at the doctor this time. He had a small freak out about getting weighed but at least we didn't have to put him on the baby scale...talk about looking ridiculous. (or Bidiculous, as Mason would say). He let the doctor look in his ears, for birdies. Our doctor is good at whistling without him noticing. He also was pretty taken with the "flash light" that the doctor had. Mason's response whenever the doctor asked if he could do something..."yes you can". Love it! He even got a sticker at the end of the appointment, first time ever!

Stats: Weight 32 lbs.
Prognosis: Croup
I guess it was good I pulled the trigger. Hopefully his cough starts sounding better.
