Poor Boy...

The boy has major croup right now. He went to bed fine, was sleeping like a log, but when I went to check on him about 45 minutes ago he was tossing and turning, desperately trying to swallow, then finally started the seal-barking-coughs. J and I had him on his puffer then opened the window in my hobby room so that some cold air could stop the attack. Maybe 15 minutes in there settled him down. We now have the bed elevated, the humidifyer running on high, and the window cracked open in his room. No worries, will close it when we go to bed. I put socks on him and tripled his blankets. He shouldn't freeze. *sigh* He is going to be home a couple days with this...

Potty training is going great! We had a 90% dry weekend! A poop on the potty both days, but a whoops poop in his pants at about 5:30 tonight. I caught him trying to "wash" his briefs out in the toilet, eeewww, and he looked so sad when he saw that I had caught him. Oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day.

J and I had a fun 30 minute conversation about new cars. Basically we talked around the idea about finding out how much Barney would be worth on the trade in, but in the end we can back to the fact that we still have a ton of debt after buying the house and it makes more sense to suffer through with my purple shit-box at least until June. We are planning on going by Sarnia to my Grandma's, both of them, place for a visit. J and the boy have never been and I haven't been since.....hmmm....I think with Mom over Easter when I was still single??? It's been awhile. Also, we have the annual trip to New Brunswick in August. All this would be easier with a bigger car.

Must go, new Gray's Anatomy tonight.

Ciao for now.
